KEEP MOVING

Recently I was analysing a particular microbe from environmental samples in the laboratory and the most interesting fact about this microorganism is that it requires a selective media to grow which must be enriched with a supplement because it is majorly classified as slow growers and fast growers and it also requires a long period of incubation.  However, I was deeply lost in thought after the whole process and one of the things that flows through my mind is that every human being have their own uniqueness and we grow at our own different spaces and times and that is why we should not compare ourselves to or compete with anyone.  A twin born from the same womb have distinct features which can be used as a means of identifying them.  Likewise, as individuals we are running different races and our speed, direction and destination differs, so we don’t have to do something just because people around are doing it, all we need is never to allow our focus to be shifted because if we give in to environmental pressure and duress we will be choked and this will definitely affect our growth in all ramifications. 

Moreso, just like the way the microbe requires enrichments for growth we also need to enrich ourselves on daily basis with things that will aid our growth in every aspect of lives be it financially, morally, emotionally or otherwise and as a unique entity, we should have a clear understanding that growth is a gradual process and it requires a lot of patience and courage because a time will come when we will feel like giving up, but at that juncture what we really need is a little patience and perseverance to keep moving  because even though it tarries, that thing you’ve been waiting for will surely come.   Also, in life we have two types of individuals which I term the fast growers and the slow growers.  The fast growers move and achieve things at a great speed while the slow growers move steadily but consistently in getting to the desired haven.  So the question I pose to you is this – “have you really studied yourself?”  I hope you are not trying to compete with anyone.  Do you really know the supplement you need to aid your growth?  And lastly, are you ready to keep moving without being distracted?    

Conclusively, what you are passing through can be likened to an incubation period which is a period of building, moulding and refining, but how you respond or react to it will determine how fast your growth will be, but you need to be determined and stay focused without shifting, wavering or drifting away all you need is to keep moving and as you do you will surely attain greater and lofty heights.

I'll come your way again soonest.
