"But...what about him?"

So when Peter saw him, he asked Jesus, “Lord, what about him?” Jesus replied, “If I want him to live until I come back, what concern is that of yours? You follow me!” 

John 21:21-22 

One of the phrases my parents heard quite often, way back when I was a child, was "But what about him?" referring to my brother. Both of us would be aggravating each other, yet when I was the one who was called out, I was offended and wanted to remind my parents that I wasn't the only one being rowdy.  My parents had the same response that Jesus had for Peter: "You don't need to worry about anyone else except you right now".  

You see, we have the tendency of wanting others to want to know everyone else's business instead of focusing on what God has planned for each of us.  God has an INDIVIDUAL plan for each of us. Our job is to focus on Him, and ask Him to reveal that plan to us.  Our enemy will whisper to us how unfair God is for growing us when we don't see others enduring the same (or greater) growing pains.

Jesus tells us, as He told Peter, "Your job is to follow Me. NOT worry about what everyone else is doing."
