It's very easy to compare yourself with others, especially among your contemporaries. But, as the holy Scriptures says, that's not wisdom.

Focus on you! Resist that temptation for comparison.

I know a couple of footballers who retired at the age of 34, 35, and most recently, Kevin-Boateng, who retired at 36.

But C. Ronaldo is 38 and still balling! And guess what? He started before many of them! (Even Buffon just retired at 45, imagine.)

My point is that, you should run your own race. Don't be concerned about others or what they are doing with their lives. It's none of your business! Wish them well and go your way! Pray for them. You too will achieve whatever your friends may have achieved, with time!

There's what is called "Time and Season". Did you know what age Charles Sanders started what everybody now knows as KFC? That is why you must not give up on your life's pursuits.

However, you need to be focused, disciplined, and determined. Get rid of the distractions! It's time to focus.

Shalom!
