Seeking Shortcuts

Advertisement

Guest Post By – Opare Asihene

The ‘get it done now’ mentality is the result of a mind that is both lazy and unimaginative.

A great visionary understands that manifesting anything takes an indefinite period of time, so he sits back and enjoys the journey.

A plant’s whole development takes only a few months. Years, if not a decade, are required for a tree to mature.

So, are you establishing a reputation that can be quickly shattered, or are you establishing a legacy that will last the test of time?

It’s something we think about on a day-to-day basis. Well, you might not, I certainly do. Shortcuts erase years of progress & make the plant short of what it could’ve been.

We want healthy, nurturing & growing plants that will do wonders that will mean something to us but instead we got a shrub that didn’t know what it could’ve become because it took a shortcut.

Wow, now I can see this resonating with you as you’re thinking to yourself, “Do I do this?”

Look, I am not perfect, and neither are you. But one thing is straight, we don’t take shortcuts or cut corners for where we want to be in life.

Understand that just because something hasn’t been done before doesn’t imply it can’t be done.

This should send shivers down your spine just thinking about it. It’s possible that you’re the specimen.

The one that prompted tens of thousands of people to take a shot.

Don’t take shortcuts so you can mature into a blossoming tree later in life.

  • I’ll do it now
    is the discipline
    my task
    my work
    in the here and now
    to accept

    the ghost
    the soul
    is in me
    not out there

    the genius
    with his talents
    should do with it
    as he pleases

    i have on me
    nothing in me
    what not too
    occurs in others

    like someone over
    his progress
    and missteps
    thinks in his being
    or not
    is his business
    and not my thing

    no one can shake off life
    like his shirt
    underneath we are all completely naked

    what has never been done
    doesn’t have to be done either
    i am not a thing
    that has things to duplicate

    i am not a tree
    I’ve never shot a tree either

    every human lives
    or revives his own memory
    what I like to do
    applies to me and not to the others
