The TRAGEDY of TME

I have always wondered why people complain that there isn't enough time to do certain things that are meant to be done. It puzzles me to see a great crowd of people who never seems to have enough of this entity called TIME, so I decided to ponder on the issue and this is part of what i came up with:

Time represents a bridge between the vastness of eternity past and present and therefore has a temporal effect. Alongside it comes a force that causes evolution, in the sense that almost everything caught up in its axis undergoes change towards disorderliness just so it (time) can end and then pave way for the next phase of eternity.

Now here is Man, caught up in the complexity of the effects cased by the ever-changing time. He was originally created to be its master, but due to the dramatic turn of events in Eden, he now lives at the mercy of time, who on the other hand keeps moving towards a state of increased disorderliness (entropy).

Now, since the substance that makes man himself is eternal, he is therefore created to function in the realm of the eternal and his body, which acts as a case, should interact with the physical by helping him subdue the effect of time just so he can live to his optimum capacity.

But ever since the Eden effect, the Case began to live under the weight of time, thereby subjecting itself [and man] to the deteriorating effect of time's caresses, which thus holds for the fact that someday it becomes weak and dies, leaving the fate of the real man to the hands of his creator. This is where the problem lies;

Because the real man was designed to function as an eternal being, the ideas and grace he needs are bestowed to him so that he has the ability to see the things in the realm of time (the physical) and use things that are abstract to cause an effective change that, not only benefits himself, but the whole of life. This explains why people by default begin to recognize the flaws on earth and yearn for a change just so it can be made right. i guess it's suffice to say that this feeling is insatiable.The body on the other hand, being submissive to the effect of time cannot provide a lasting support to the inner man without breaking down beneath it's heavy load, therefore, someday it will have to cease to exist.

Therefore, in other for man to have the best in life, he should take into cognizance the fact that someday his body will have to break down in respect to time's due process, and he'd wish he had left a mark in the sands of time!

CONSISTENCY: The Undertaker and The Sower

You probably might be wondering what these two sets of people have in common, and the truth is they have a lot in common, and i really would be glad to share this with you because they represent the two classes of leaders we have;

Both the undertaker and the sower deals with digging up earth and burying stuffs underneath it, although what they bury differs - The former buries a substance that has lived it's full capacity while the latter buries what in the sense of it will unleash it's full potency only when it is being cast under the earth, which probably lasts for months or years depending on what is sown.
But even with these similitude one thing stands as major difference and it happens to be what matters the most; It is the fact that once the former buries, he never goes back to nurture and cater for what he buries because he knows that what he buried lacks the capacity to bring forth better things that will prove valuable to him. But the latter (sower) goes back consistently to check on what he sow, having the confident assurance that his seed has the capacity and potency of regenerating and reproducing fruits that has an immeasurable value which then serves as a drive in him. He believes the fact that his sustainability is dependent on what is cast beneath the earth, therefore he gives his all to nurturing it.

Have you ever thought of what will happen to seeds if the sower does not go back consistently to water it? That will make the sower no less than the undertaker!

A lot of us do things sometimes that are great, amazing and astounding, but somewhere along the way we loose the zen and zeal that starts us up in the first place. We have sown a lot of great seeds - of time, commitment, work, virtues and lots more but due to lack of consistency, we tend to loose track of our progress and we loose it which makes us no less than an Undertaker.
There is something about consistency that works like magic. At first you feel discouraged and deranged and it's okay to feel that way, those are the times when the seed is trying to get its root deep into the soil. But i can assure you that a time comes when you begin to fall in love with it. not because it comes naturally, but because the seed is sprouting out, and that kinds of give you a motivation to continue at what you are doing.
I really need to add this: as a true leader, you just cannot do without being consistent when it comes to nurturing your seeds. even when all does not seem like it, you just have to keep going on.
....and remember- just like the old saying goes: "slow and steady wins the race"
