Steadfastness brings victory
THE RACE IS NOT TO THE SWIFT
In a world obsessed with shortcuts, social media overnight successes, sudden bust into limelight, and quick results, real effort and hardwork is now being overlooked. Success has now become something that is manufactured overnight. However, we must remember that, the only thing that stays up, is that which grows up. Anything that jumps up will definitely fall back to the ground.
Moreso, it is not the strongest, wisest, or the most talented that always get the glory, but the one who has refused to let go of his dreams, desire, and purpose. It is not the one who bursts out of the blocks with raw talent, fully carved abs, or undeniable intelligence that crosses the finish line first; it is the one who is relentless, resilient, and determined that gets the crown.
King Solomon penned his thoughts in Ecclesiastes chapter 9, verse 11, he wrote, "I returned, and saw under the sun, that the race is not to the swift, nor the battle to the strong, neither yet bread to the wise, nor yet riches to men of understanding, nor yet favour to men of skill; but time and chance happeneth to them all." When you have the time to do that which is necessary, and you fail to make use of it, you will arrive at a point where you will no longer be able to do what you have to do.
If you are being considered the underdog, do not relent in your pursuit of excellence, keep putting in the effort, your victory is just around the corner. If you want to launch into space like a rocket, you have to gather the momentum to thrust yourself as far as you want to go. The crowd may cheer the frontrunners today, but tomorrow they will roar for you, the one who never quit. Keep running, you are a warrior. The swift have their moment, but the steadfast will never be forgotten.
To a better you, Kamikun John.
