Stop wishing for other People's lives


"If you concentrate on what you don't have, you will never, ever have enough." - Oprah Winfrey


Dr Chilaka works in one of Houston's biggest cardiology centers. His wife heads over 200 people in an IT firm in Texas too. Living above average they have one dream for which they save religiously. The dream to someday go back home to Umuahia in Abia state, Nigeria and set up their own businesses. 

Meanwhile......Martins and his wife who both run successful businesses in Umuahia have not missed their "prayer point" in the last 4yrs. "Lord this dream must come true, we must relocate to USA.

Uche watches through the window of his high-rise Zenith bank office complex everyday. Admiring independent business men, hating his cage(sorry his job I mean) and wishing to be an unemployable entrepreneur someday. Meanwhile...Mike walks pass that same Zenith bank building everyday, his CV in hand and sweat on his forehead. Asking God "when?". When would I say "I work for Zenith Bank. 
And say "that is my office up there".

Mrs Aisha Bello, wife of a multi billionaire wishes she could turn back the hand of time and re-pick her husband. 

Can't believe how hellish it is and wishes for singleness. Meanwhile, Funke who works for her would give anything to be Mr Bello's wife. 4th wife is ok sef. "See fine man with cash. Kai some women are lucky" she says .

The stupidity that is inherent in envy and comparisons of lives is the kind that needs exorcism to expel. 

Given the shoes of the man with the life you want may be all that you need to cure you of your inordinate longing. The saying that the grass is always greener on the other side" means you see only the glamour and not the pain. That's what I call looking with your eyes wide shut.

Stop wishing to have the lives of others, stop longing to have the appearance of others, because you do not have and will not have it!" - Joyce Meyer

Work hard, pray hard and stay true to your hustle, God most definitely has got your back.
