Pause, Breathe, Think

Taking a step backward is as necessary as taking a step forward.

The things that are relevant to your destiny and worth pursing are ahead of you and stepping forward towards them will bring positive result.

Those who feel they are on the right route are mostly fairly certain that they are moving forward,  and they are on the right path regardless of the obstacles they may face.

Taking actions in the fulfilment of your destiny are very crucial. However, there are times where you have to take a pause to reflect on your growth and progress so you don't end up engaging in things that are fruitless to your destiny.

In the path of destiny, it is imperative you keep examine your progress, if not, you will think you are progressing when in the real sense, you are stagnant, moving like a rocking chair.

It pays to take a break in order to move forward especially when you are not getting the expected result.

You need to know what should be cut off, what should be improved and what should be introduced, that's why many people are engaged in lots of things but there is little or no results.

Gavriel Kay once said, “There are no wrong turnings. Only paths we had not known we were meant to walk.”

I know you want your pursuit and progress to be smooth, constant, straightforward, and no distortion, but at times, its intelligent to take a pause and reflect if you are on the right lane.

Taking a pause from challenges and problems may help you see the wrong approach you are using to tackle the situation and make you see a clearer approach that might being about the result you have been hoping to see. 

If you are stucked and confused about life and which way to go or what to do next? its best you take a break and get a clear picture of where you are heading to, and if eventually you are really putting lots of effort and there seems to be nothing to show for it, this is the best time to invest in reflection, and self-scrutiny to figure out what actually you want to achieve.

When you take a break and review your actions and reflect over your life and destiny to see if you are on track, you get a clear picture of the current state you are in the path of destiny, your  next course of action and how far you have progressed. This would give you a clear picture in planning what next you need to do to bring about a positive change and transformation in your life.

Time spent in reflection and self-examination is never wasted. God wants us to examine our life from time to time. You must allow him to guide you as you reflect so he can give you a clear picture of where changes need to occur. 

Greatness is like a spring, you take a step back in order to spring ahead. You take a step back in order to achieve two steps ahead.

Instead of burdening yourself with speed and how far others had gone, start asking yourself — “What do I need to stop?” what do I need to do better?  What’s that new ideas or knowledge you can add to your life or career? if you could click your fingers and instantly change things for the better and achieve greater result, what would the result be?

It might be a little different from your current situation, or it might be something more major. You just have to get a clearer picture of what you want to improve on.

Remember, each action or step you take is not enough to guarantee your movement towards your goal, you must keep reviewing your actions, steps, and systems time to time and engage in things and activities that yield result, Only then can you guarantee amazing success.
