I was thinking about nature today and then I started thinking about myself. Everything in nature that was created by God easily does what it was created to do. The sun shines brightly once it is out in the sky unless there is an overcast of clouds which in that case, the clouds are doing what they were created to do. Everything around us actually acts itself out, which means it does that which it was created to do.
Every product designer designs a product with a purpose in mind, the purpose of what that product is suppose to do. When you plug in a hoover, it cleans the floor, when you turn on a washing machine, it washes your clothes. When you go out in the rain without an umbrella, you expect to get wet.
When something does not do what it is supposed to do, we say it is damaged, for instance if we put dirty clothes in a washing machine and after we put it on and it goes through its full cycle but the clothes still come out dry and dirty, we say the washing machine is spoilt, it needs to be fixed.
If all of a sudden you come across a lion in the street and it runs towards you and wants to be cuddled, we would automatically say it is a freak of nature because it is out of character for a lion, needing a cuddle does not come naturally to a lion.
What am i getting at here, it is the question of nature!!! There is that thing that comes naturally to us as a human being, there is that gift in us or talent that comes to us naturally. That thing that we enjoy doing, that thing that is not a chore to us. That thing that we passionately love doing, that we would do and even if we don't get paid for it, we would still be happy and satisfied from the joy of just being able to do that thing, that thing is our natural gift, talent, the very thing we were created to be or do, that is our NATURE.
NATURE beautifies all that is around it, NATURE feels you with satisfaction, joy unspeakable.
I leave you with one question today, what is your NATURE? In the answer to that question lies your breakthrough.
My my my ....food for thought. What of your nature is not necessarily something that gets you far financially , what do you do then?
ReplyDeleteDo not define success by financial gains only. Success is a state of mind. Success is inner peace, joy and contentment. Having said that, when you spend doing the thing that comes to you naturally, it begins to open doors for you eventually. This is because, your heart is in it so you run with it, applying your every being and because of that, you excel at it and because it is your nature, you are the best at it, you are an original and the world responds to originality. You automatically apply all of you into it and that begins to breed excellence. Always remember that it is the gifting on your inside that would bring you before great men. Discover who you are and begin to run with it, persevere at it and success would come.
ReplyDeletewow that is sound advice and i have definitely noticed people who excel this way , i have always thought oh lucky girl/guy, but from what you have said, it is nothing to do with luck!, your nature will work for you, thank you!!
