Kammys Musing

+ In my mid 20s, my manager at the time said that when I get to his age (mid 40s), some friends my age will be in the position of power and wealth.

+ Being a young and naive person, I just nodded but took no heed. My priority at that time was preparing to get married and living day to day basis. No long term plans – just plain boring day to day basis.

+ Past few years, I met people whom my manager described before. Friends, acquaintances, even juniors in school are at the top of the corporate ladder or in a position of political power.

+ The houses they live in, the vehicles they are driving, the places they dine at, they countries they are working at or traveling to – makes it something desirable, if not craved for.

+ Some are making 10x times what my current salary is :O

+ At times I would sit or lie down and ponder – obviously the different income would have a different lifestyle. Would I enjoy that lifestyle?

+ Knowing the layback style I possess (I make it sound like a superpower), I don’t see myself enjoying it in the near future.

+ Funny enough, I actually feel happy for them. Like a parent who is spectating their child wins a running race.

+ I pray that the blessings they receive would be beneficial for them in this world and the Hereafter.

+ Plus sometimes I get to enjoy dining at a fancy restaurant, courtesy of a rich friend. Who’s gonna say no to that?!

Until then, stay hungry, stay sane.
