LIFE IS A PROCESS.

Life is a process.

Sometimes, we forget this and become impatient with life by allowing pressures from friends and society to succumbed to us. We feel intimidated by other people success forgetting we can't all get to the top at the same time,
we can't all achieve our dreams at the same time. Life is all about being patient and understanding the seasons in which you are in.
If you don't know the meaning of time, you won't understand anything in life and may succumb to the pressures around you. There is a time appointed for everything in life.
An adage says twenty friends can not play together for twenty years, so also we can't all get to the top at the same time.
We can't fast track our destiny before the right time.
Life is a journey and sometimes we are allowed to slow down, breathe again, we are allowed to rest, rethink and move on.
Life is not meant to be lived in a hurry, (there is no hurry in life).

Don't allow society to put pressure on you.
Don't feel intimidated by your friend's success, appreciate them but don't envy them.  Appreciate your little effort, even if they are not significant, appreciate every phase of your life because they are part of your growth.
The fact that your friend is about to venture into a business does not mean you should do the same also,
The fact that your friends wear expensive clothing does not mean you should spend all your hard earn income to please them and to fit into society standard.
Competitions kill our joy and often the biggest distraction on one's journey to success.
Humans don't grow to their highest capacity in life because of competition.
You are only allowed to compete with yourself in the journey of life. Build your life, add value to your life each day, be better than who you were yesterday.
Give the best of life to yourself alone and avoid distractions from others that can interfere with your dreams.
To be a high performer in life you must focus on your journey and assignment here on earth.
Focus is all we need in the journey of life.
When you rush into the seasons of life unprepared you last for a short phase, wait for your time and in due season you shall spring forth.
Shalom!
