PUBLISHER;-JUMPER01 About a month back I had a discussion with a friend about life and what is expected from us as young minds in existence. We talked a lot and shared some stories, experiences and aspirations. Even though it would seem we didn’t get the answers to some of the questions we needed answers to as we were chatting, it was comforting knowing that I wasn’t the only one going through this journey called life.
Hi it’s jumper again, How is everyone doing today. I hope we are all doing great. The weather today is hot, not so friendly but hey it is a very bright day and I would pick this over a cold day. If you are new to my page, go ahead and check out my lovely sponsors. The best I tell you.
Now let’s talk about our topic
This gift called life
Living in this world today it is very easy for young people to make comparison of their own lives to that of a friend, a celebrity, or a mentor. You hear most people say things like
“I wish I was him or her , he or she has no problems, he or she is so perfect”
Well even though it might seem like that sometime that is never the case. You see most people have developed this ability to keep their problems and fears hidden to the public, so sometimes when you look you can never see it. You see a lot of public people like celebrities and models have built this facade that they are leaving the perfect life and that their life is going great when most times that isn’t the case in-fact if most of us “ordinary” people can see the lives the celebrities live we would understand that we are better off.

Back to my discussion with my friend..
We talked about our fears for the future, about relationships, about fate, about finances, and about figuring out life’s purposes and at the end it was so glaring that not either one of us has it all. You see my friend is talented singer, song-writer, guitarist, historians and footballer. Tall, dark-skin man with deep voice, He could easily pass for a model. Prior to our discussion I use to think he probably has it figured out already I mean just look at him. Complete man it was one of the reasons why we became friends. Not knowing that he thought the same things about me. Well we actually talked and at the end it was comforting for both of us.
what am I driving at …..
It is okay not to have it all, nobody does actually. The truth is society has placed so much value on materialistic things, things that don’t matter but things that matter to humanity are being tossed away like trash. So it okay not have everything now it’s fine honestly and then you are lucky you can start finding yourself from today. If you ask me you are in luck you are alive so there is hope. Don’t let nobody fool you into thinking their life is better than yours NEVER!! Just keep working, pray and never give up.
Gratitude is everything
No matter the way you look at it whatever you own, or bought or whatever kind of life you live there is always someone out there with a better version of it. No matter how much BCH you might own or trade with there is always a rivher person out there doing better. So why not appreciate what you have?? Why not appreciate what God has given to you ?? Why not appreciate this gift called life??. There are a lot of people better than me on this platform but I don’t envy them instead I intend to Learn from them and get better, will it take time to reach where they are now ? Yes but I will work hard enjoying my journey every step of the way.
Then again self fulfillment is a personal thing do not let yourself appear to be ungrateful to the almighty for all he has given to you. Yes sometimes these feelings come and we envy others but it is up-to to us look at how far we have come and understand that nobody has it all.
so the next time you look at a person’s life and think to yourself how awesome they are, pat yourself on the shoulder and say
“yes I am working hard and soon I would become like and even better than this person”
To end this article I leave you with one of my favorite songs of all time which is about understanding that nobody has it all and loving what you have right now by Jcole titled love yours
Thank you for your time and your support means a lot to me. Till I write again.

We don't actually need everything. We just need to enjoy, nourish and share what we have. The most important thing in life is our faith with Him. Without Him in our life, we don't feel contentment.
