​4 Last night I decided to treat myself to a great meal. So I walked into a 5-star hotel restaurant. After going through the menu I ordered some food and about 20 minutes later, a group of men and women walked in and ordered theirs. To my dismay, these folks got served first.

 

I watched as they began to eat and laugh heartily. I even overheard one of them bragging about how he is connected to everyone in the hotel, and I felt mocked. I wanted to leave.

​

Unable to take it anymore, I called the waiter. He calmly told me, "Yours is a special order being prepared by the chief chef himself. Their orders were prepared hurriedly by the students on attachment because the top chefs are busy with yours. That is why they were served first."

​

"Please have some juice as you wait."

Shortly after, my food was served by six waiters. Unknown to me, the owner of the hotel (who happened to be an old long lost family friend of mine) saw me when I entered and decided to surprise me.

​

She changed my simple meal to a 5-star meal. The party at the other table were shocked. They could not stop staring. Suddenly, they were the ones murmering, asking why they did not get the kind of meal and service.

​

Such is life. Some people are ahead of you and eating now, laughing at you and talking about how they are better, wiser and smarter than you, how they are blessed, well connected, have money and are enjoying life.

​

You are waiting tirelessely wondering why its taking so long to breakthrough. You endure mockery and humiliation. May be you have contemplated suicide, gone through depression, or suffered severe mental anxiety. Don't worry.

​

The owner of the world has seen you and doesn't want you to be served a simple meal. It takes time to prepare. And only chief chefs prepare them. Relax and wait for your meal.
