Failure! by ElectaAlen(f): 2:32pm On Apr 07, 2016
You know how it feels when you fail at something while some others succeeded or when you are yet to have something your peers have. Then, you feel worse when these people flaunt their successes, their latest achievements... you feel left out. You're not jealous. No, it's not that wicked emotion called jealousy but you can't really be happy for them. Sometimes you try, and you are sincerely happy they made it but sometimes the success of others dancing in your face while you're down there surrounded by your many failures can cause you depression if you let it.

You just wish people would mind their business and stop asking to know if you made it. Some people could really be annoying with their careless statements. You know what? You don't have to listen to it all. Sometimes, you have to walk away to protect your self-esteem. It's not disrespect.

There are also people who would encourage you just as there are those who would aggravate issues in a negative way. But the choice is yours. Choose who you listen to!

When you feel like God has forgotten you, almost directing your anger towards Him, remember that there are those who have been/are in worse situations but remain thankful. Also, remember that His thoughts towards you are thoughts of peace, and not of evil, to give you an expected end(Jeremiah 29:11). It may seem like He has failed you; the devil wants you to believe that. Don't succumb to his black lies. He is Devil, The Deceiver! Hang on to God's promises, don't lose faith, and soon, you'll get there. You'll have a happily-ever-after-story to tell, darling. We all will!

Have a great day!
