Never Skip A Stage

Practically anything and everything we set to do in life is always in stages. If you are a child (new born), there is no way you can start walking immediately. Of course, you will have to first crawl, then walk, before running......... Life is always in stages. Once you miss one stage in your life, it is usually very difficult to get it right again.

My uncle who is a politician sat me down to advice me one day and He said "I am regretting why I didn't further ahead in my academics to get a Bachelor's degree after getting Diploma degree. He further explained to me why he was lamenting about it. He did tell me that In His place of work, if you don't have a Bachelors degree, there is a height you can never get to, no matter how excellent you are in the field.

He would have loved to go and continue but who will provide for the needs of the home?. Age was already catching up on Him (I know is this is not an excuse) but it has to be considered too. There is a stage you will get to in life that you will be naturally ashamed to engage in some certain things. The only time you can decide to try such is if you have enough courage and tune your ear from off what people will be saying about you. Even the Bible in the book of Ecclesiatstes chapter 3 vs 1-8 that;

There is a time for everything,
and a season for every activity under the heavens:
a time to be born and a time to die,
a time to plant and a time to uproot,
a time to kill and a time to heal,
a time to tear down and a time to build,
a time to weep and a time to laugh,
a time to mourn and a time to dance,
a time to scatter stones and a time to gather them,
a time to embrace and a time to refrain from embracing,
a time to search and a time to give up,
a time to keep and a time to throw away,
a time to tear and a time to mend,
a time to be silent and a time to speak,
a time to love and a time to hate,
a time for war and a time for peace.

Your childhood and your youthfulness is the time in which you have most of the energy in life to accomplish all of your dreams. This is a stage where we dream of what we want to become and do whatever we can to bring it to accomplishment or pay all the sacrifice we can to make sure we achieve it. Stages are important as far as life is concerned. You will live a life of regret later on if you start skipping stages in the early time.

Therefore what am I saying in essence, I am saying that no matter how difficult that stage you are in right now, you are not expected to give up or suspend it to do it later. You are meant to face it to the later. You are expected to accomplish the tasks of life in stages. Yea along the way, challenges will come but make sure you always tackle them and not carry them over because there is no guarantee that you can do it later when you can do it now. You can do that and get away with it but it is not advisable at all.

Yea, I agree that you might arrive at the current stage you are completely unaware of what you are doing or what you can do to move on but you can always get past through it. The truth of the matter is that at different stage of your life, you are a different person. Take note that anything that happens to you in any stage of life you curently find yourself is meant to teach and prepare you for the next stage you are heading to. Consequently, nothing is lost.

In conclusion, it is necessary to note that we all live our lives on different levels and of course arrive in stages. However, each of the stage we find ourself carries us to a whole new level of responsibility, knowledge, authority and understanding and remember that you were given/handed this amazing life because God knows you can handle it.
