Our priorities are not the same

Occasionally, people discuss the seasons of the year, and there’s a debate that usually pops up where some will brag about how much they love winter over summer. Honestly, I have no idea why someone would love that (winter). Is it wearing so many clothes to get through any day, feeling cold almost all the time, a complete dependence on blankets to have a comfortable sleep, by the way, that turns out to be a problem again when you have to get out of their warmth in the morning? What is it that is so good about winter?

I can tell you this for free: my favourite time of any day is when I’m naked, no clothes on at all, and I wouldn’t mind doing that all the time. So why would I love winter?

Even worse those who loves rain, seriously, the damn thing destroys and slows everything down. Are you even a farmer because that will make sense, or is it just laziness?

But I always remember this, our priorities are not the same, and we don’t like the same things. That is our nature as humans 

When others are taking a walk, slowly cruising on the streets, winding down, and refreshing their minds
Others are rushing somewhere, be it to work, school, important meeting. They’re in so much hurry that everything in front of them seems to be standstill

When others are praying for peace, the safety of the innocent kids and women, the survival of those in war-torn countries
Others are hoping that Kaizer Chiefs beat Orlando Pirates to get a taste of the trophy they last had ten plus years ago. They're worried about the noise to come should they not win

When others are praying that they get a meal to fill their stomachs the following day
Others are praying for toys and candies, because that’s what matters to them

When others are praying that somebody could bless them with clothes to wear
Others spend hours struggling to choose what to wear for the day. Some are opening suitcases to put back summer clothes, preparing to buy for winter 

When you pray for your first breakthrough, your first golden opportunity, others are hoping for something better than that. You’re searching for your very first job, others are tired of their current jobs, and are looking for better jobs 

When you're worried about saving money, others just want to spend it because they already have enough to either save or spend. They aren’t bothered by what you're concerned about 

When others are praying for better days, things to get better for them, the light to finally shine on their direction
Others are hoping for someone with less strength to pass on their hunting grounds so they can rob him of his belongings. To them, finding a job is no use because they can get everything they want through those who work so hard trying to earn what they need

When you pray for a sunny day, that much-needed break, others just want the rain, cold weather, because their lives are much easier in those conditions

You dream of owning a well-recognized business, a brand that will be known all over,
Others just want to be employed by a well-recognized company because they know the benefits and privileges that come with that

When you’re worried that the weekend is approaching and you haven’t done what you set out to do for the week, others are counting down to the weekend because there’s a special event they can’t miss

The month end is approaching, you haven’t made enough sales, you’re behind with your monthly targets, to others, it can only mean that payday is right around the corner

You need siblings, someone close to you to share your thoughts and stories with, somebody else out there, just wants to get away from all of them because they can’t take it anymore. To them, having them is just a constant pain they want to be part of no more

When you're worried about something you don’t have, somebody else is fed up with it. He doesn't want anything to do with it. Before you compare yourself to anybody, just remember our priorities aren't the same. We all want different things in life, we all have different things, and most importantly, we are capable of different things, and other things look good on some of us, but they don’t on others

You are on your journey designed for you, don't let other people’s journeys distract you from walking yours

Don’t assume that because it's what matters, it's important to you or the majority, it's what everybody needs. You’ll be surprised to realise that some people want way less than that or way more than you can imagine because our priorities are just not the same
