The Rain
I spent
several weeks working on two projects, when I was closer to finishing the first
project I received a devastating email, in the email I was told that the
project will not go on anymore, it broke my spirit, crushed me to a point that,
I crucified myself, regarded myself a failure because I always work very hard
only to go back to square one.
I spent
the next 4 days not working, thinking on what to do next, if or I should carry
on with the next project, but I did eventually bring myself back to the
original energy that I always had for my projects. I took on the next projects
went on for another 2 presentations, and it was finally given to me but then
again came a day before I could sign the contract and same as the first one, it
fell through.
Again I
was crushed, again I had lost my sanity two times in less than a month, it is
the biggest blow a man can ever take. But this time I came home slept and when
I woke up I remembered the Chinese proverb, no matter how long the winter
spring is sure to follow. And only then I realised that all the greatest
achievers have been big dreamers and they never won because they were people’s
favourite’s they got what they wanted because they deserved it.
Every
morning when I wake up I always ask myself, do I have what it takes to get to
my destination, and the answer is, I am taking it one step at a time as the old
saying goes Rome was not built on one day. I know that my dreams are bigger and
like Rome they can never be achieved in one day.All this falls have taught me
something, they have left me with a lesson, no matter how hard it rains, at the
end of it I shall grow, because the rain does make thing’s grow.
In the
midst of your storm remember that if it wasn’t for this rain, potatoes,
sunflower and Millie meal will not be growing. Embrace and endure those storms
for it is in them we find great lessons about life. And it is in the midst of
them that we grow.
Grow big
or go home
