So, I do not believe in mere coincidence; therefore, I strongly believe that there is a Supernatural Being
that surpasses us all. Somehow, this Supernatural Being has everything spelled out even before we are conceived. Just like a tape, life begins to play right before us. Now, only a foolish person does not believe in this enigma. This conundrum does not care whether or not you understand the puzzle’s essence; it happens anyway. Things begin to unfold when you are dynamic enough to appreciate, recognize, and acknowledge this puzzle called life. I have simplified this in clear terms as PURPOSE or, better still, a PLAN.
To me, this depicts human existence—a sudden, undying fire to carve a niche for oneself in anticipation of what is to come. This means that with a projected world population of 7,942,645 (seven billion, nine hundred, forty-two million, six hundred, forty-five thousand, and eighty-six) people as of January 2023, you dare to be different, relevant, and exceptional. Is this achievable? Certainly. How, then? Through self-examination and logical reasoning, I have concluded that one must be adequately equipped for this phase of life. One must acquire some basic and essential tools (a tool is an object that extends an individual’s ability to modify features of the surroundings to help them accomplish a particular task). A few of these tools include resilience, focus, patience, hope, and a healthy state of mind. These tools will assist in accomplishing the tasks ahead. Take a self-examination after gathering these tools. What are your strengths and weaknesses? Set goals, identify your skills, aim high, and pursue them with discipline. Believe in yourself because that’s how you were wired and designed.
Involve others. This part is delicate because it will determine the pace at which you progress. At this point, be sensitive and determined enough to know who to bring on board—someone who shares the same values and beliefs, someone who is passionate about similar interests.
Who said we cannot all grow together when the most critical steps have been taken? Have you discovered your purpose? Have you formulated a plan? Yes, you have. Do you have the right team to embark on this journey? Then what are you waiting for? Little wonder a wise man once said, “birds of a feather flock together.” Nature has a way of making you attract your kind. Humans possess individual talents, strengths, abilities, and ideas, yet they all strive to achieve one common goal: financial stability, which ultimately comes down to purpose. There is inherently more wisdom in teamwork than in individual work. Always be prudent enough to utilize each other’s ideas and build on them, with the intention of creating innovations and thoughts that can be translated into resources. This way, you both remain relevant to each other and grow at almost the same pace.
So, instead of saying, “see you at the top” or “we will meet at the top,” it is possible and safe to say, “take my hand, and let’s walk to the top.” How does that sound? Share the same vision. Earn each other’s trust (it must be earned, as that’s what makes it work effortlessly). Understand each other’s flaws (nobody is perfect) and know how to use your strengths to cover up for each other’s weaknesses.
Plan and be productive (take steps, avoid procrastination). Keep each other on target. Continuously upgrade your knowledge and skills (it sets you apart because no human knows everything). Let’s not forget that there is a Supernatural Being whose supremacy is unquestionable.
Hard work is non-negotiable, not on this ship. If you’re looking for an easy way, try the next one.
At this point, it is no longer news that success based on teamwork is achievable, and indeed, we can grow together and aim for greater heights. There is room for all.
