Suddenly

NOTHING HAPPENS SUDDENLY.

In a fast paced world, where nothing is waiting for anybody, and nobody is waiting for anything, but everyone grabbing everything, and anything they want and can by the neck, and running with it; some people want some things to happen for them and to them suddenly. They see people becoming something they were not some time ago just in a moment, and they feel it all happens suddenly.

Nothing happens suddenly, as a matter of fact, the only thing that sometimes happen suddenly is destruction. Everything that has been built, everyone that has become, and everything that now exists never happened suddenly; everything went through certain processes before becoming what they became. The building that you see standing tall and beautiful had to go through a lot of planning before execution; the trees standing tall, and strong were once seeds, and seedlings in the soil.

Whatever you want to do, whoever you want to become, you must begin today to work towards it for tomorrow. You must be willing to go through the process of becoming, you must be ready to go through the discipline that guarantees progress. Even the things that happen suddenly began long ago without pronouncement.

The thing that you suddenly discover did not just happen suddenly, you have come a long way to find it. Do not be unprepared for the result of the decisions you make today, for tomorrow they will stare at you right in the face. If you don't want to be caught unaware, if you do not want to suddenly realise that you have gone in the opposite direction of your dreams and aspirations, plan, prepare, and put in the work, so you don't suddenly come into regret.
