Nature teaches us patience in many ways
Life has always progressed in stages
From a state of innocence and ignorance
A child grows to master acts
From a throtling speech state
The toddler begins to talk with some grain
Under the watch of time, the word toddler is outgrown
And an independent mind is birthed
It has always been a gradual change of form
An harmless piece of seed preceeds a tree
Taking its start from a dark and lonely place
Buried like a being robbed of life in the earth
The seed springs up with vitality in few days
But it never stops there, it keeps keeping on
From the earth and the sun, it draws motivation each day
Ensuring it is motivated and not mutilated
Like a child takes the stages of walking steadily
The seed takes time to a seedling…….then a tree
But does it stop at being a tree?
Does a child stop at attaining speech and balance?
Success is a continuum not a port of call
Not a place to unload the ship and unbuckle the sandals
Not a place to cast the tools into stools
Never a time to let down the guard and dull out
Success is not an end to a journey but an endless journey
It is a progression that keeps life meaningful
It is not a sudden burst into comfort or a jackpot
Not a state when all battles are won
The batton is meant to be passed
Success is a daily affair, set in stages
A step today and another tomorrow
You keep mounting heights like a growing tree
A win today does not eliminate the need for another tomorrow
Success is not a story with a happy ending
It is a lifelong journey with several happy junctions
No endpoint for true success, it is a testament of life.
