A breakthrough is the fulfilment of a long-anticipated outcome.

The elusive prize sought out for consistent efforts, and toil yet to be rewarded

If one were to pique the mind or pull up a chair to hold attendance to some of the greatest thinkers and innovators of humankind one would come to the full understanding of the process of achievement.

Success is a journey.

A journey riddled with setbacks and opposition.

But like all good things that come about with hard work and time withstanding, so does success

If you are sweating it out, waiting it out, and refusing to doubt then what you are working for will one day work for you.

• Give it time
• Don’t ever give up

Things don’t always happen when we want them,  and for good cause

We are not always equipped to handle what we want.

For many, if they got what they wanted when they wanted it, then the obtainment of their desires would consume them.

Good things grow with time.

What grows too fast is born pre-mature, underdeveloped, undernourished, and struggles to survive.

Great things take the time to build.

That which one constructs too fast is often shoddy, and incapable of withstanding the elements of nature and the corrosive force of time.

Such things will often have to be torn down and rebuilt.

It takes time to succeed.

The more you grow, the more you know, the more prepared, the more polished, and the more brilliant you will shine.

Most expectations are unrealistic.

A lesson through symbolism

Has a farmer ever planted a seed in a patch of soil and expected a full harvest on the morrow.

Does he or she not nourish, water, and till the soil that the harvest be robust?

Does he or she not treat the soil and weed the garden to protect?

Must not the sower of seed await the sun,  for the seed to struggle through the dirt,  and patiently wait for the seed to endure the elements of the wind or a strong rain.

We are not unlike the farmer.

Our dreams are our seeds

Our work, practice, and dedication the nourishment and preparation.

Our vigilance to our thoughts  and actions our protectorate.

Must the dreamer not wait for his or her dreams to see the light of day.

Are we the ambitious, innovators, creators, the believes not left to struggle, to push for one to take notice of our dreams.

Must not our hopes endure the elements of both criticism and opposition.

Surely we can see the process of our lives reflected in that of the sower and seed.

Our lives as a reflection

1. Make sure that you are not sowing your seed in the wrong place.

Thorny soil will not produce a full harvest no matter how much work you put into it.

2. Make sure that you are sowing the right seed.

If you invest in something that is not for you, or does not make good use of your gifts or talent no matter how much you work, a breakthrough will be impossible.

3. Make sure that you are sowing in the right season.

Frost and snow are detrimental to crops and will kill most seeds before they have time to grow.

For everything, there is a season and a purpose.

Perhaps the time for fulfillment is not yet.

Learn the art of discernment.

4. Make sure you are not depriving your seed of nourishment needed.

All things need attending.

• Do everything you can to grow.
• Learn all you can.
• Continuously improve.

5. Make sure you are protecting your seed.

Don’t let naysayers get in your head.

Stay away from dream snatchers.

Protect your dream as you would your infant child.

Don’t rush it!

That does not mean to sit back and do nothing.

It means to do what is necessary.

Don’t try to force open closed doors,  doors close for a reason.

If a door closes or is closed search for another door, a cracked door, or open windows.

When one door closes, another avenue will open and sometimes in the most unexpected of places.

In summation

• Hard work is essential.
• Putting your time and effort into building is necessary.
• Diligence and vigilance are a skill set one must encompass.
• If you want something worth having patient hope is quintessential

Don’t ever, ever give up.

Your breakthrough is coming.
