Life: you don't always get what you want

A very beautiful afternoon from here, how was Sunday to you all yesterday? Did you go to church? How was the service being it the last Sunday of the month? I am sure it was amazing cos I see the smile on your face. Let me go directly to the topic of the day, let's begin;

I was going through statuses on my WhatsApp the other day and I came across a video and I was like, hmmm, very true. What was in the video? Did someone just ask me? Well, it was about the passengers on a flight, there is this man that sat beside the window while the person who sat next to him is the daughter of a woman, the woman was also beside her daughter. So, it was almost time for the plane to land, so the woman told the man that " her daughter liked sitting beside the window side whenever the plane is about to land cos she loves to see how the plane goes down, so he should please allow her daughter to sit beside the window while he moves to where her daughter is".

The man replied to the woman and said " the changing of sit isn't the problem for him, he said that's a minor thing to do but he will prefer that her daughter learn a simple lesson that you don't always get what you want".

So after saying this, the man turned his head to the other side and continued with what he is doing. The woman asked if he was being serious about his decision and he never answered again.

Did you grab what I am trying to say in the whole story? What the man said was true, I am not after him for being wicked for not allowing the little girl to sit beside the window but what I am after is that is what he said that we don't always get what we want. That's how life has been programmed and that's how it will be forever. It's not everything that we pray for or work for that we will get.

Life would have been bored if it was that we get everything we want, there won't be any point in putting extra effort into something because there will be an assurance that we will get what we want. But it isn't so, even after putting in extra effort, many times we don't get what we want.

Many want to be famous and rich but they haven't and even after trying several works and putting in extra effort, it's still the same and that's because we don't always get what we want. Many times we have sat alone at home wishing we have money to get some delicious food that we have eaten for a long time at the moment but NO, it didn't happen that way because there was no money at the moment, we don't always get what we want.

So many married men and women have wished to marry a handsome man or beautiful woman because they felt that's what they want but NO, it didn't happen. Some even prayed to give birth to twins because they love them whenever they see them outside but NO, it didn't happen and that's because we don't always get what we want.

So many students out there choose a particular course to study because they love the course but no, they didn't get it, they were given another course entirely and that's because we don't always get what we want.

If we have this mindset that we don't get things we want every time, we will have pleasant peace with our life becusse we won't expect too much from anything. Know this and know peace ✌️.

Thanks for reading and God bless you all.

Bye for now 🥰🥰🥰.
