Build up strength, the journey is long
We all grow weary and under go emotional burn out, the motivation and inner drive to soldier on. This comes in moments when one can no longer sustain the passion for pursuit. Apathy scampers in like a burglar and life looses meaning, thrill and steam as discouragements flocks in from all directions.
Those who have study the eagle’s lifecycle have this as the best precedent. It said that when the eagle grows old and is worn out physically, it ventures in solitary place at the peak of a mountain and there transformation takes place. The conditions here are un conducive for normal living but are necessary for renewal of the worn out eagle within the span of 40 days. The eagle does not eat anything nor does it move about, at this period it is able to shed off its old feathers, peak and claws and new generation of the same develops.
When finally the eagle comes out of the hiding place it is a new creature with renewed strength. It is in the background of these that prophet Isaiah confirms to us that even the youth shall faint and be weary, and the young men shall utterly fall. But they that wait upon the Lord shall renew their strength, they shall mount up with wings as eagle, they shall run and grow weary, and they shall walk and not faint. Isaiah 40:30-31.
I know how long we have waited for a moment when we shall give a sigh of relief, and it seems it is not going to happen sooner, but this should not be a recipe for giving up. You may not really know how folks in prisons feed on hopes, hope that tomorrow will be worthwhile makes even today better.
When you seem to be alone and abandoned, when in a moment you behold the horizons and the only neighbor to give you company is Mother Nature. When your tears have flooded your eye sockets streaming down your chins and nobody can dare wipe them, moan if you have to but don’t you ever quit. Build your reserves and strategize for a new course

In the co-operate world today where folks are busy every other minute moving from one business connection to another. It is a hard thing for many of us to find time- off duty, off- business, off- company to venture in solitary places, for self inspection, instruction and development. That is introspection.
We have to appreciate the fact that great lives are not born neither are they made in the atmosphere of business but are molded in the cauldron of segregation and consecration as individuals give themselves to the meaningful purpose of their lives.
Many have cried for change majority have chanted slogans of revolution but very few of us can really bring the newness that the society wants today.
I am of a strong belief that the reason why you were born such at as this, is because you are a strategy for God to bring the transformation that the whole creation has been anticipating. You are the answer to the many of the questions that has been asked in many preceding generations.
Such discoveries are not attained in public pinnacles but in serene calm environment, that gives audience to the small still voice of God to minister to an individual. As someone enunciated that ‘Do not keep for ever on the public road, leave the beaten path occasionally and drive into the woods. You will be certain to find something that you’ve never seen before. One discovery will lead to another and before you know it worthy thinking about to occupy your mind.’ All really big discoveries have this as there common origin.
We have to know that public victories are won privately and public figures have been molded secretly. We can hear and understand one another more when we avoid growing in the shadow of each other. The human jam should be avoided at all costs just as we do with the traffic jam, if we are to reach our goals at the right.
At many times has the multitude mentality or majority rule have obscured our vision, blurred our look into the future and stammered our confession of the auspicious destiny.
Such folks should be given an immediate divorce before the prognosis is grave.
Remember eagles fly alone, crows fly in groups. If you have to enjoy the greater heights this is entirely up to you. It always comes a time when only you believes in a cause taken, a time when all friends will abandon you.
Solitude is the dawn of greatness for it is the tough times that make champions when all your allies have abandoned you
