Have Faith

A certain gentleman walked into a hotel and, after perusing through the menu, ordered some food. After about 20 minutes, another group of gentlemen walked in and ordered theirs. To his dismay, the first gentleman saw them get served first.

He watched as they began to eat and laugh heartily. He even overheard one of them brag about how he knew everyone at that hotel and how things moved fast for him there. He felt he was being mocked. He contemplated leaving. But he had waited so long.

Unable to take it anymore, he called the waiter and spoke sadly of how unfair things were. The waiter calmly told him "Sir, yours is a special order. It is being prepared by the head chef himself. Their orders were prepared hurriedly by interns because the top chefs are busy with yours." Unknown to him, the owner of the hotel (who happened to be an old long lost friend of his) had seen him coming and wanted to surprise him and had made subtle changes to his simple meal to make it a five star meal.

He calmed down and waited. Shortly after, his meal was served by 6 waiters with exceptional cutlery & finesse. 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.

So it is with life. Some people are ahead of you and eating now, laughing at you about how they know people and how they're blessed with money and how they're enjoying life because of it. You have been waiting long wondering why its taking so long to get your breakthrough, enduring mockery and humiliation. Maybe you have suffered severe mental anxiety.

Do not worry. The owner of the world has seen you. And doesn't want to give you simple meals. You've been waiting for long because yours is a special meal and takes time. And only head chefs make those.
