My life is better than yours

NEW WEEK TONIC: AUGUST 31, 2020

INTRODUCTION:

Many of us can't just see beyond our nose, that's why we handle 'today' as if it's the major determinant of 'tomorrow'. No, it's wrong. Life is the most unpredictable, such that someone you see as a nonentity today might be the most successful among his equals today. 

For example, the fact that you are a senior to someone in school today doesn't mean he cannot be your employer tomorrow. Therefore, we have to humble ourselves and respect every human.

IMPORTANT THINGS TO NOTE AND DO

(i) Shun pride: Don't ever look down on anyone or think you are better than him, but see everyone as equal.

ii. Respect all: Life is like a circle, we will continue meeting and meeting over and over again. Therefore, be a respecter of whoever you come across in life.

iii. Don't compete with anyone: Don't see life as a competition against anybody, but face your own way and enjoy your own destiny.

iv. Don't try to stop anybody's progress: Don't be an enemy of progress to others because you don't want them to overtake you, but rather face your own destiny and increase your speed where necessary. It's a race of individuals.

v. Run your own race: When you agree that you have a life to live, then you have to live it well. Follow your dreams enthusiastically.

SCRIPTURAL POINTER:

Proverbs 14:30

"A heart at peace gives life to the body, but envy rots the bones."

Job 5:2

"Surely resentment destroys the fool, and jealousy kills the simple."

Proverb 29:23

Pride brings a person low, but the lowly in spirit gain honor.

CONCLUSION:

Don't boast of anything in life, and never must you tell a fellow man that, 'after all, my life is better than yours'. You are on the high today, but remember that he can be on the highest tomorrow. It's insane to look down on anyone, because we all have different destinations. His may be higher than yours! They are independent of one another. Be careful, respect and value all men, and avoid unnecessary competitions.
