Be Grateful For How Far You Have Come

Adelola Edema

I remember some years ago, while I was on campus, I ran into a church friend and shook his hand. His hand felt funny in mine, some parts were soft, and some were hard. Me, I was like “Emeka, I don’t understand this your palm o. why are some parts soft, and some parts hard na?” You needed to have seen the look on my face. But Emeka looked so happy to hear what I said. He then told me that his palms had been very hard, which made him quite embarrassed to shake people’s hands,nd so he had started using hand cream; hearing about his uneven palm meant the cream was working.

I remembered this story recently and thought that “some people will not know where someone is coming from or how far somebody has come, but they have a judgmental opinion about someone’s life”.

You have dated lowlife dudes all these years that suffered you in the relationship, and not only are you free from such guys, but your mindset that made you a prey for such guys has been changed, somebody will be trying to make you feel bad for the ‘new you’; you have been confused about what you wanted to do in life, but now you have found your passion and you are pursuing it, but someone has a critical opinion, and keep throwing it in your face every time; tell them “you don’t know where I have come from”.

It does not have to be in huge things, but people always have an opinion about how your life should be, but they don’t know where you are coming from. You, just smile, and be grateful for how far you have come. Stay grateful, stay focused, and you will get to your desired end.
