I walked into a restaurant and after going over the menu, I ordered my meal. After about 20 minutes a group of guys and ladies 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 overhead one of them bragging about how he’s connected to everyone in the hotel and I felt mocked.
I decided to leave. Unable to take it anymore, I called the waiter.
He calmly told me: “Yours is a special order, being prepared by the head chef himself. Their orders were prepared hurriedly by students on attachment because the top chefs are busy with yours. That’s why they were served first. Please have some juice as you wait”.
I calmed down and waited patiently.
Shortly after, my meal was served by 6 waiters.
Unbeknownst to me, the owner of the hotel (who happened to be an old long lost friend of mine) saw me when I entered and decided to surprise me.
She changed my simple meal to a five-star meal. The party at the other table were shocked. They couldn’t stop staring.
Suddenly they were the ones murmuring, asking why they didn’t get that kind of service and meal.
Such is life! Some people are ahead of you and are eating now, laughing at you and talking about how they are smarter, wiser and better than you, how they are well connected, blessed, have money and are enjoying life.
You are waiting tirelessly wondering why it’s taking so long to breakthrough. You endure mockery and humiliation.
Maybe you’ve contemplated suicide, gone through depression or suffered severe mental anxiety. Don’t you worry!
The owner of the world has seen you and doesn’t want you to be served a simple meal like those making a mockery of you.
You’re waiting because yours is a special meal. It takes time to prepare. And only head chefs prepare them.
Wait for your meal and relax. When it comes, that laughing party will be silenced for good.
