I read from a message that in this world, everything
and everyone moves in their own timezone.
Some of my schoolmates like me are still single. At least two of my friends have married for a long time but have yet to be blessed with any children (so there’s no guarantee you’ll be blessed even if you marry another woman, this happened to my friend’s ex-husband). Another two friends have nine children each. One has six kids but had two babies die in childbirth.
There are people who graduated at the age of 23 but had to wait years to get a job. There are others who graduated at 30 but secured a job immediately upon graduation. And there are yet others who are offered jobs even before they even graduated.
There are whose who are already CEOs before they hit 30 but live a relatively short life. There are those who only become CEOs at the age of 50 or beyond and live a long life.
We all live in different time zones so we don’t have to feel left behind when we see others seem to have overtaken us. It’s just because our time hasn’t arrived yet. Obama retired at 55 but Trump only became a President at 70.
There are some people ‘ahead’ of us and some ‘behind’ us. We all move in different paths, at different speed, in different time zones.
Allah has different plans for us all. Why should we envy or be sad at another’s success?
You’re not late. You’re not early. You’re just on time and in your own time.
