A PERFECT LIFE?

A PERFECT LIFE?
I met Reinhard Bonnke when I was in Singapore in 2007 and he said something I'll never forget.
He said, one day, a young man came to him and said "I'd love to be like you. I'd love to preach like you. I'd love to be as successful as you".
And he said, "You will be if you can carry the burdens I have carried too".
You see, successful people are not without problems, they are just people who have learned how to solve their problems.
Whenever we look at successful people, people doing better than us, we always think they have it all together.
WRONG!
Nobody has a perfect life.
No one has it all together.
What they have learned is how to keep it all together.
So, stop looking at people on Instagram, Facebook, LinkedIn and all of social media wishing you had their kind of life.
If you do wish you had their kind of life, you might as well wish for their problems too.
Those people you think have the best marriage, maybe struggling to have kids.
That man that appears to be a business mogul, may have a spiritual battle that keeps him up at night.
That woman that wears trendy dresses on Instagram, maybe very lonely.
Don't wish for their kind of life, instead work on yours.
The grass on the other side will never look greener if you are busy working on yours.
I believe in you.
