Sometimes I look around me and I'm amazed at how ironic life can be:
The one who doesn't have a car wants to get a car by all means because he's tired of trekking while the one who has a car wants to trek because he wants to keep fit.
She has children but she's always complaining how difficult it is to take care of them and how they are giving her headache, somewhere else there's a woman who's fasting and praying just to have a child.
Watching TV from her tiny apartment, her dream is to be like her favorite actress, one of the stars. But somewhere else, there's a star who wishes to live an ordinary life away from all the glitz and glamour even if it's just for a day.
She's single with no suitor and it seems marriage has become a constant prayer point because she doesn't want to wind up alone. Out there, there's another lady who's married who wishes she can be alone so she can get some 'me time'.
Life is in phases but most a times we don't get to enjoy it because we are too busy looking over at the next phase. We are so much in a hurry to move to the next big thing that we forget to enjoy the process. Tomorrow can only get better so whatever position you find yourself today, you have only one chance to live it to the fullest so tomorrow you can look back without regrets.
Whatever phase of life you are now, enjoy it while hoping for a better tomorrow. If you are single, enjoy it to the maximum while waiting for the right person. In case you don't have a car yet, enjoy the walk before the car comes, it is good for your health. No matter where you are, embrace it while working towards a better tomorrow cause in a short while you'll look back and realize just how far you've gone.
