Moving On

As human beings, we get to a point in life – business, religion, relationship that we just want to move on to the next level or phase of life but the question is, does this movement confirm growth and development on our life and efforts because,

We work, we walk
We live we leave
We eat, we cheat
We see, we believe
We build, we damage
We wish and then we carelessly forfeit the needful.

For some employees working in a particular company for long is just an act of weakness and spinelessness. But the few that still gather the courage to remain with that boss, to keep reliance with that company are not weak.

A book I read recently, ‘Yes You Can’ by Sam Deep tells me that growth, talking in all terms you may think doesn’t all count to physical movement, you grow within before you grow without – so the philosophers also said. So, if you think growth will only come to your life if you move from that job you are now (that with the meagre pay) only to retire home either to start another job hunt or work on your long dreamed dreams, then you need a sit back, a proper reflect that will define your present state in relation to your future. Then, consider asking yourself some questions.

Ask yourself: Am I ready for this?
Is now the right ‘now’?
How much have I put into ME?



I am not saying you drop those big dreams, that you avoid taking bold steps, neither is it that you don’t fulfill your personal dream and achievement. But not every growth, development requires physical movement rather more of mental, intellectual and inner ability to be wholly responsible and ready to beat the titans of self discovery.

Three things are important for growth to occur in life, even without physical movement;
- How is the company you are now growing?
- How well have you grown personally, intellectually, in expertise etc with the company.
- How many external opportunities has your present state offered you?

What you should also know is, no matter how long it takes good things will always (some day) come your way, though the small ones have been effective, the bigger ones will surely come to you, all that’s required is a determined and prepared mind…
Remember: “Success is when preparation meets opportunity”. John Mason

So, how prepared are you for success in that next job, career you’re looking at? Opportunity will only wait till you master the necessary preparations, then and only then will your success come easy at you. And like the Bible confirms that those that believe and do His commandment will succeed, be fruitful on any land they live.

Your dream doesn’t have to be ‘BIG’ at first; it simply has to be full of B.I.G
B-brilliant ideas &
I – intelligent efforts that are
G – God inspired.

God could cause us to experience remarkable advancement while remaining in the same location as he did with Isaac in Genesis 26:1-3 even at a very harsh state.

You are who you are even before you move to a better place. Build yourself and you will build where you are or where you are going.

Work on yourself and know the right time to move on from there.
