‎Popular Nollywood actress, and filmmaker, Funke Akindele, has dropped a motivation message for her fans in the new week.

‎
‎Taking to her Instagram page to share a photo of herself, the box-office queen stated that it is important to avoid envy, because behind every visible achievement, a price was paid. She noted that the success, the spotlight, and the lifestyles are always visible to the public, but no one sees the sacrifice.

‎
‎Advising everyone, she urged them to desist from comparison, but rather focus on a goal, and build it.

‎
‎She wrote:
‎"Envy no one.
‎
‎For whatever you see, a price was paid.
‎
‎You might see the success, the spotlight, the lifestyle but you don't see the sacrifices. You don't see the late nights, the setbacks, the doubts, the pain they had to push through just to stand where they are.

‎
‎Every win has a cost. Every glow up came with growing pains. And every strong person you admire once had to fight battles you'll never fully understand.

‎
‎So instead of comparing, start preparing. Build your own. Earn your own. Walk your own path with pride. Because when it's your time, you'll know it wasn't handed to you. You paid your own price. And that kind of success hits different.

‎
‎"comparison is the thief of joy!!! focus on your own goal, build it and own it!!!"
