'BE CONTENTED WITH WHAT YOU HAVE TODAY: SAD, SUFFERING YET SMILING!(SSS)' BY ZEPHNATH.

Stop wishing you have the kind of husband/wife or family your friend has!

While you think you know them, in reality my dear things on the ground could very different from what you think you know 😂!

*The beautful woman You admire probably has no brains, maybe the handsome man you want is an all time trouble, the family you desire to have could be chaotic. All behind the scenes, people are sad, suffering yet smiling.

Stop wishing you have the wealth or goodies that you see your friends display. When actually you are even cacooned in your comfort of laziness doing nothing about it! Let their wins, rather motivate and encourage you to work harder and probably end up having more than them.

Not all rich families are happy. Some wish they had little just like you. They have lots of cash in banks but poor in their hearts. They are sad, they are suffering yet they are smiling.

I once met a group of people in Fed Poly, Oko Anambra State. This meeting occured during the 2020 matriculation ceremony. There, I had the opportunity of interact with a man.

He's happens to be one of the rich men in town here in Anambra state, Orumba North to be specific. Of a truth this guy had all the wealth, and riches that every person would want to have. He had Fleet of cars, countless properties including real estates. Rich as he is, I found out that,* He had been married for 18 years yet childless. The man and his wife both had cancer and diabetes and were deeply depressed and stressed. This couple has been spending big flying to India always for medications to a disease that has no cure. They are rich materially but in their hearts, they were sad, suffering yet smiling. Those of us looking from the outside will be busy cherishing and dreaming of living their lifestyle without a full grasp if what really is contained with the life we see. We readily want what we barely know about!

Learn to be contented with whatever God has blessed you with or else you fall prey to Greed and it's associated bad vices.

Like me, I had an accident on 18-07-2021 and I suffered a fracture in one of my legs, the left leg precisely. This made me to cry and weep everyday asking God if I can still walk again, I thought I had lost everything without knowing what the Lord has done for me. While they are others who had the same accident and gave up the ghost immediately without even having the opportunity to go to hospital talk more of saying goodbye to their loved ones.

While I was still at *Dionye hospital Ekwulobia, two guys that had the same tipper accident  were brought in the same ward where I was. One among them his issue was so critical that even many of who came to visit me in the hospital scream aloud because of the condition of the guy.  This made me to believe and know what the Lord has done for me.

_Be thankful and grateful to God and be not deceived!_

It's like getting deceived by descent looks of women we see posted on social media, many of them are *"Tripple S women" Sad, Suffering and  Smiling.* From their appearance, they look beautiful and elegant with cash, smart with something worth to brag about but behind the curtains things on the ground are different my dear!

I saw two female friends of mine the other day slaying in super VIP section of Life Style hotel Oko/Amaokpala and if I didn't know them by name and the life they live in reality, I would have thought they are investor business comrades from an overseas trip😂! Be slow to judge.

Not all smiling faces you see and meet are joyful indeed. Some are covered with tales of sorrow worth tears to tell. Unfortunately you don't know their story. Be decieved not! Judge them not! Mind your conclusions! If you can learn a positive lesson from them, better!

 

Work hard and be better than them  and let them wish they were you. 

Be contented with your little or much and what you have. Buy the clothes you can afford, drive the car you can manage ,put your children in a school you can afford, eat the food you can afford, make hairs you can afford, rent the house you can afford. Stop stressing yourself by trying to live a life that God has not willed and purposed for you.  You will die of frustration my friend. After all, the riches we desire and yearn for everyday are all temporary. 

All is vanity. No one goes with his or her riches when they die. Even the beauty we desire is all temporal, the personalities, the titles and positions we dream to have are all temporal. None of the above lasts forever.

Just because they are smiling doesn't mean that everything is Okey.* Many are pretenders.  I remember mom used to skip supper😢 smilingly pretending to be fasting so that we could get enough of food! She sacrificed and bore hunger just to make us smile!  It's a high time you understand things and people my friend. Some pretend to be happy and winners on social media but losers in real life.
