THE WORD IS PACE
It’s going to get even harder, the pressure will be too much you will want to give up and forget that it all matters. Tears will want to come out but the eyes won’t let them drop. You will want to say something but the words won’t come out.
You might not even want to be around people and perhaps not even sure what to say. Almost everything won’t make sense. It’s from worse to worse. Your heart is trying to find it’s peace just a place where the heartbeats won’t be rapid and the pulse will just be okay.
Recently I spoke to a friend who lost his job and clearly the circumstances that lead to this very moment he was in wasn’t making sense.
One minute he was earning, sure to pay his bills every end of the month but suddenly he wasn’t sure where that would come from. I could see through his eyes that he was just done, nothing was working out in his life. His relationships were a disaster according to him. All his friends were doing well. Married to beautiful wives, with their first borns, good homes and everything was working for them. I could see his desire to settle and just be happy and feel like he has not been left out. He was at the verge of throwing in the towel.
As I listened to him I understood where he was coming from. I mean when all your agemates have left you and you are now in the unemployed population that is hard. It is at that moment that the word pace come to mind.
Sometimes aren’t we so conformed to what society dims as the right age. Then the pressure kicks in, then competition starts and boom reality checks in.
Who is this person called society setting standards for people? Who is this person that came with the theory of the right age? See once you understand that your timing is your timing then you will have found an answer to a question that we us a generation are suffering from.
We all can’t graduate at age 24 we all can’t have jobs by age 25 and we definitely can’t be established at age 30 and this is okay. If you get your job at age 21 this is great do you and if you don’t clap for the one who got it at 21 your time will come.
Overtime I have learned to know that we are different and so are our timings. Where you are is where you are supposed to be. So find your purpose there while you wait for the next stage. peer pressure won’t give you happiness but purpose will. It’s good to find out the lessons you are to take home in the season you are in. I look at a tortoise for some reason it has never tried to be a cheetah because it can never be. Yet at the end of the day if they were headed to point B from A they will get to their destination and that is the most important thing.
My friend is still trying to find his way through and his mind has been open and he is planning to start his own thing. Come to thing of it,him losing his job might have been the push he actually needed;a blessing in disguise.
Where you were meant to be you will be and you won’t stop you will keep going so you might as well enjoy the journey to the destination. You are not too young for that thing go for it. Also you are not late that is your timing. Move with your pace and no matter what happens don’t give in. Your time will come and your going to be just fine and if it is here embrace it.
