My Shoes




I woke up one day and I realised that there were many things

about my life I was not satisfied with or better still, there

were challenges that were threatening my soul.


And I said to myself, "Why should anyone envy me and want

to be in my shoes." They don't know how far I've come, they

don't know what lies ahead of me, and neither do they know

how dissatisfied I get with myself from time to time.


People don't know the troubles that you've had or the price

you had to pay to get where you are. All they want to know

is that they wish they were like you.


Why should you wish you were in some other persons shoes when you

hardly know how they fit?


When you've worn your shoes for a while, they take the shape

of your feet and align to the way you walk. If you were to

wear my shoes, you will not be comfortable in them.


So I stopped wishing that I am in someone else shoes because

it might not fit; rather I thank God for my shoes, because

THEY FIT PERFECTLY :-)


I have learnt to be the best in what I do, and I know no-one

can replace me anywhere and in any sphere.


I am an original, my God is not in the cloning business.

He make originals!
