Seasons of Growth: The Wisdom of patience

-

 


Be patient with yourself. Nothing in nature blooms all year... Time and season differs.

In the hustle of life, it is easy to fall into the trap of expecting instant results and constant progress in what you do. However, it is important to remember that "growth and development" takes time. Just as flowers don't bloom all year round, neither do we reach our full potential overnight. We need to learn how to be patient with ourselves.


Just like nature, life operates in seasons, each with its own unique characteristics and challenges. There are times of growth and abundance, where we feel energized and productive, and times of rest and reflection, where we may need to recharge, plan and regroup. Understanding and accepting these natural rhythms can help us navigate life's ups and downs with greater ease.


Being patient with ourselves doesn't mean we are stagnant. It means we accept that progress is not always a smooth road and that setbacks and challenges are a normal part of the journey. Just as a flower may face storms and adversity before blooming, we too may encounter obstacles that test our resilience and determination.


Moreover, being patient with ourselves allows us to cultivate self-compassion and kindness. Rather than scolding ourselves or feeling depressed for not meeting unrealistic expectations or goals, or comparing ourselves to other people's achievements, we should practice self-care, contentment and understanding. We can acknowledge our efforts and celebrate our small victories, knowing that each step forward, no matter how small it is, brings us closer to our goals.


Conclusively, embracing the wisdom of nature can teach us valuable lessons about patience and perseverance. Just as flowers bloom in their own time and season, so do we grow and evolve at our own pace. By being patient with ourselves and honoring the natural rhythms of life, we can cultivate resilience, contentment, self-compassion, and inner strength on our journey of personal growth and self-discovery to success.

Make Your Tears a Smile

Happiness comes at times to us, but sadness comes unbidden; Remember that amidst the smile, a few tears must drop If at times you feel you want to cry because life is such a trial, Remember that above the clouds, there is a bright blue sky Don’t give up If a friend have sadness written on their face Because trouble round them pile up; Remember that the world would be a better place to them if you smile and assure them that all will be well As you travel on life’s compulsory journey Filled with ups and down Remember that before a gold becomes the gold you so much admire, it went through fire So don’t give up because there is a light at the end of the tunnel When you keep aiming for something and all seems not to work according to your plans Remember that good things of life doesn’t come easily, make your effort worthwhile Make your tear a smile Smile is very cheap amongst the world’s expensive gift And you don’t know whose world you are lighting up with your s...

AIM LIKE THE SPIDER

I was sitting on the 13th floor alone Brooding about life, When a spider caught my attention. It climbed to the 13th floor and kept climbing even with the storm out there. It climbed back up every time it fell. Why does the spider climb so high? Striving to get to the top? Why is it is going that high? It probably thinks it can get a better catch up there; Or maybe it believes it can just keep going and going till it get there. Well, that’s what I chose to believe. The spider did not stop till it got to the final floor. Only a small thinker believes there is a particular height to be attained or a particular height is hard to be attained.  Never stop climbing till you get to the top. When you get to that top you have been aiming for, Aim for something greater than that top and never stop climbing Be like the spider and don’t hesitate to devour whatever challenges that may come your way Don’t give up Maiden Wura

Navigating Uncertainty Without a Timeframe

  The experience of waiting is an essential part of life, whether it's awaiting a response to a job application, anticipating medical test results, or hoping for a decision on a significant life event. The waiting period can feel endless, testing one's patience and resilience. This is what it's like when there's no timeframe for the waiting period. It's like being stuck in a never-ending loop of uncertainty. The main challenge of waiting without a timeframe stems from the uncertainty it creates. As humans, we naturally crave certainty and predictability, so when there's no clear deadline, it goes against our instincts. Waiting without a timeframe can have detrimental effects on mental and emotional well-being. The prolonged uncertainty and lack of closure can take a toll on one's mental health, leading to increased levels of stress, anxiety, hopelessness, frustration and even depression . It becomes increasingly challenging to maintain a positive outlook and...
