Life is in phases and men are in sizes!

Hello friends!!

Have you ever been caught thinking aloud?
Have you ever been in a situation where you feel that you have actually outgrown?
Have you hoping and praying, looking for answers to your problems yet it seems no results?

If this is you then hold on and read through this post, I was greatly inspired to pen this down for someone like you.

Over the past few months I have been brooding on many things about life and I came to the conclusion that life is in phases and men are in sizes!

Life is in phases and you as a person must know this. The phases here simple means stages. There is a stage in your life where you are expected to be walking, running, talking and seating as a child. There is also a stage where you are expected to start eating solid food and bones.

What do you think will happen when a child that is barely 2 months old is given bone to chew? Infact the child doesn't have teeth at that stage. And his intestines can not even process that kind of food. Rather than the food becoming useful to that child, it turns out to be poisonous to the child.

This is exactly what happens to us when it is not yet the time of our lives to have some certain things but we desire and pursue for it to happen, we end up putting much unnecessary pressure on ourselves, hurt ourselves, get worried and feel bad at the end of the day.

There is a need to know the stage of your life where you are into and stay with the process. Don't compare your self with other people who are in their other phases of their lives. I was with a friend one day and she made a comment that was very profound "she said never envy any ones success when you don't know what they went through". The reason why she made this comment was beyond a certain friend of ours who kept comparing herself with some powerful popular names we hear about.

This friend kept saying she doesn't know why her life is not making much progress, she said she is needs to get this and that to be able to fit into the society. Guess what? When we decided to prob into the persons she was comparing her life to, we discovered that those persons went to series of trials, suffering and betrayals. There were times when they didn't have money to eat, a place to sleep or an accommodation. There were also times when they didn't even have a job.

There is a stage in your life where you have to put in the work and there is a stage to rest, relax and enjoy. You can't be wishing to enjoy or rest or relax when you have not put in any work. When the stage of work pass and it is now the stage of rest, you can't rest infact there will be nothing to rest in because you didn't work. Maximize your youthful age, work like never before because a time will come when you won't have the time to work.

I shared a story of an old man I saw sometime ago begging for money to feed and I wondered why? Don't be has children or wife to take care of him? Then I was told that all his children no one cares about him. It is very possible that when it was time to train them well he was busy pursuing money and now that it was the time for his kids to take care of him, they are not doing so because he didn't invest in them so no returns for him.

So never be caught comparing yourself to anyone because life is in phases, it doesn't matter if you are the same age with the person you are comparing your life to just know that your own stage will come when you will be able to afford whatever you want as long as you are doing what you are meant to be doing.

Men are in sizes simply talks about capacity. There are people that have so developed and built them selves up in areas of their lives where it now seems that they are at more advantage than you who is still building yourself up or just started. I know a guy who has been into business since age 16. Now he is 32 and he has so much capacity in that area of business. That is his strength. You that just started your business yesterday wants it to blossom like that of that guy. No! you don't have the same capacity. Men are in sizes!!

Capacity building takes a lot of time, infact it is a process. It doesn't happen in one day. It's is a re occuring thing, sometimes it begins from your daily routines, goals, visions and targets. It is very important to have strength in any area you want to specialize on. Get to know what you are doing or getting into.

If you are placed to become the manger of a thriving bank, how will you handle it? The way you handle it tells how much capacity you have been able to build. If you were able to grow the bank increasing it's revenue it shows something about your size. But if you didn't handle it well, rather there were debts, workers left and customers were lost, it also shows something about you.

Whenever you are given a task and after doing it, some one else is called to come and redo the same thing that you resumed you did, then it shows you have not grown in size or capacity. Its a pointer that you need to grow.

Your size of your person determines how you handle a task or project. There are people that that a small mindset, that's their size while there are people who always thinks big things. Do you know we are expected to be like our father, I mean God in heaven. He is a big God and he thinks big. He has capacity, his size is large. This is why you can't really fathom what holds the cloud from falling off for so many years now. Imagine how big the whole world is, God made them all.

The next time you want to get upset or compare yourself, calm down, hold on and think twice again at this statement life is in phases and men are in sizes

Stay lifted!!
