COME OFF THAT HIGH HORSE

COME OFF THAT HIGH HORSE
Recently, I bought some quite pricey shoes.
My wife saw them and she couldn't believe I bought them myself.
You see, in the past, I would often query why people buy and wear expensive shoes.
I would say things like "would it help them get to heaven?" I would even say "I can never buy those kinds of shoes" whereas deep down, I loved them.
Unfortunately, at the time, I didn't realise it was because I couldn't afford them. I was hating on them because I could not afford them.
Now that I can, I see no wrong in them; and I'm almost getting addicted (says my wife) lol.
Why am I sharing this with you?
Could you be hating on the life you desire because you can't afford it yet?
Some people hate rich people because deep down, they want to be rich but they've abandoned their dreams.
Some people hate happy people because deep down they want to be happy but they don't know how to.
Listen, stop hating and start learning.
Whatever you desire deep down is still possible.
Learn to celebrate the people who have it now and pay the price to sit at their feet to learn.
Stop being a hater and start being a learner.
No one makes it hating on other people. Fulfilment doesn't come through hate or competition, it comes through humility and servitude.
The life you want is not farfetched, your pride and ego are the problems.
Your fulfilment and happiness are possible if you only you would come off your high horse.
Yes, you can!
I believe in you.

Picture an eagle in a cage. No matter how beautiful the cage is, the eagle was not designed to live in a cage. It was designed to soar on the highest heights and mountains with courage and flair. No matter the lure of the cage, it can never surpass the freedom of the eagle soaring in all expanse of the skies in all of its glories and strength. Like the eagle trapped, too many brilliant, gifted, called individuals are trapped in the cage of careers they were not designed for. They can never command their true worth and value, they can only eat the crumbs they are being fed by their captors. The lure of salaries and pennies that will never satisfy keeps them in such cages. They would rather remain in the rat race than take the risks for their freedom and glory. The Bible says, "If the Son (Jesus) sets you free, you will be free indeed." - John 8:36 As a child of God, you can break free! You were not designed to be caged! Any job that does not give you the freedom to express your gifts, talents and calling is a cage. One of the biggest graveyards of purpose I see is this graveyard of unfulfilling careers. People get jobs only for the sake of earning, rather than fulfilling their life's calling and pursuing what matters to them. But here's the truth: The careers you were not designed for will not satisfy you. They will leave you with voids and emptiness. At the end of your career, you would lack true legacy, influence and impact. Your time to break free is now. I believe in you. Dr Samuel Ekundayo
