AN ICEBERG OR A BANANA TREE
Have you seen extremely tall forest trees, and some really huge ones, big enough to shade some mighty buildings? Do you wonder how they keep standing year in year out withstanding storms, heavy downpour of rain and mighty winds? That ability to stand inspite of those forces ready to tear and pull them down is a result of intense and deep root growth.
Many attimes, the growing and development you have to go through is that which no one can see, it is the kind of growing that may not even be visible to you or anyone else, but will eventually lead to enormous obvious and visible growth. It is this kind of growth that ensures that you keep standing, running, and functioning at optimal capacity when things get hard and tough. When you have developed so much invisible deep root, no storm, no wind will be able to shake you or sweep you off your feet recklessly.
The major challenge with the period of underground growth is that it takes a lot of determination, and strength; it thrives so much on discipline, and seriousness; and it requires intense desire, and steadfastness, because to the world, and those around you, sometimes even to yourself, it seems like nothing is happening in your life, it feels like you are just passing time and wasting away, but that period would eventually become the most cherished when successfully passed.
Take your time to grow silently, work hard in silence, deepen your roots, and your growth would be effortless. A seed does not come out of the ground until it has first developed roots. An iceberg would not stand strong, the Titanic would not have sunk, if all there is to it (the iceberg) is what we see on the surface. Whoever prioritises superficiality over depth would not stand the test and pressure of time.
