The Lies in We Tell Ourselves

This might come out silly but hey! I still need to share the details with y'all because its likely that we have found ourselves in the same kind of thinking but different incidences.
The free newspaper has been a blessing to many. Let's just say if you still watch and read the daily newspapers you will be happy knowing you can catch up with the Kenyan media highlights; for free on a newspaper. Well if you need to wrap something or are moving, the free newspaper is a perfect source to protect the breakables 🤫🤫. I won't disclose my reasons for the free newspaper all I need us to focus on is I appreciate the free newspaper given to motorist each morning. So much that I kind of got personal. 🤣🤣

There is this guy who used to give the free newspaper just passed my normal route on Thika road. For some reason the timings just never seemed to match with his. I would get to him and vuala! he gives the last copy to the motorist driving ahead of me. Or I would find him picking a fresh bunch to issue. One particular day he gave the motorist driving besides me and skipped me , 😪😪that hurt I tell you. So much that I told myself there is not so much positive information to read and watch on Kenyan media platforms anyway so I am good with what I choose to read when I get to the office. I made a decision to forget the free newspaper until my fortunes changed. 👏👏👏

Which fortunes you ask? Well they changed the newspaper guy and there was a new guy on the road. "Good riddance", I told myself. "Now I will be getting the newspaper for whatever it is I need it for," little did I know. 😇😇 So the whole of this week the story has repeated itself. I don't get the newspaper , its just not coinciding for me. And this got me thinking. 

I thought of the times I will ''carry" somebody over things I feel they have done to hurt me and they don't even know I am "carrying" them. I thought of the times I have let my mind mislead me into encouraging negative thinking and its ruined my day. I thought of the times I have compared myself to others and felt they are better or I am better. And there the truth dawned on me. The times we "arrive" are different for us all and the blessings awaiting us at the time of our arrival differ. Just because I don't get the blessing another gets when we arrive at the same destination doesn't mean any of us is less or more. We just have different blessings at the same destination. I also learned that I need to watch the level at which I allow my mind to lead me to self misery. 

Lets fill our minds with the right Mind set.
