" Nearly cannot kill a bird".
Have you ever taken a deep thought and wonder why some people will work so hard but never have a breakthrough to their goal target or never become successful in life? Or why some have ever remain a potential in all the days of their life maybe as an athlete, entertainer and whatever you may name it, but never make it into a full blown success? Just like the adage that says, "nearly cannot kill a bird". Strange, is it not? Yes it is. But it needs just a simple identifier to identify, it is a force I identified and described in some of my previous lecture series as the 'force of the distractive enigma'.
What is a force of distractive enigma? It is a sequence of other several options that naturally avail themselves to distract every individual at the verge of breaking through into success in life. It happens in the course of every point of Man's decision making and it cut across all endeavors of life. May it be marriage, business, politics, entertainment, sport, military strategies or whatever you may name it and it is not a witchcraft as some may have likely thought neither is it caused by any spiritual forces but it is a simple natural law of competitiveness that simply says that whenever you have one kind or type there are several others of that kind or type that are in existence and they are all sure to show up whenever time calls for any of their kind to action. And for the fact that variety is the spice of life; variety creates a natural competition amongst available options for which some stand a better chance among others at every point in time. So also, that equally applies to our thoughts as regards to making decisions at any point of action taking that results into whatever success or failure that counts thereafter.
It is a life fact that once one has set his eyes on something he or she wishes to achieve in every moment of life there are always other alternative options that will always pump up that are often seem better of than the initials and that is where the four cardinal principles of success such as focus, knowledge, intelligence, wisdom and smartness come in as a guide on every action that leads to a successful reaction, result and what have you that you may name it.
That is why it is very imperative to be affirmative, decisive and clinical with your already dependable built options whenever one is at a front of a goal so that one will not be like that adage that says, 'nearly cannot kill a bird' but upon one's hands shall be no missing target sling in the hands of the shepherding boy David and shall be like that shepherding boy David who was so focused on his target and succeeded at shooting his primary target, the very forehead of his enemy and bear heading the head of the mightiest giant of his time, Goliath.
David was focused, being lead by the wisdom of God and spirit, he was courageous and brave. He new what he wanted and the task on his hand but never allow protocols, procedures, perfection and man made standards to become his worst enigma neither complicate the great task on his hand for him rather he was focused on what he wanted, the redemption of the ultimate battle line of the God of Isreal which the uncircumcised Philistine Goliath had taunted. So, being lead by the wisdom of God and spirit, he chose not to go with Saul's armour, and put them of himself and chose to go with what he knew using better. And the Holy Bible 17:38, said: "And Saul armed David with his armour, and he put an helmet of brass upon his head; also he armed him with a coat of mail. Verse 39; 'And David girded his sword upon his armour, and he assayed to go; for he had not proved it. And David said unto Saul, I cannot go with these; for I have not proved them. And David put them off him. Verse 40; And he took his staff in his hand, 'and chose him five smooth stones out of the Brook, and put them in a Sheperd's bag' which he had, even in a scrip; and his sling was in his hand, and he drew near to the Philistine."
David being lead by the wisdom of God and spirit he was equipped with a higher mental capacity which helped him to quickly counter Goliath's curse upon him by the gods of the Philistine with a superior re-invocation by the living God of Isreal Who he Goliath had taunted His battle line.
Verse 41; And the Philistine came on and drew near unto David; and the man that bare shield went before him. Verse 42; And when the Philistine looked about, and David, he disdained him: for he was but a youth, and ruddy, and of a fair countenance. Verse 43; And the Philistine said unto David, Am I a dog, that thou comedy to me with a stave? And the Philistine cursed David by his gods. Verse 44; And the Philistine said to David, come to me, and I will give thy flesh unto the fowls of the air, and to the beasts of the field. Verse 45; then said David to the Philistine, thou comedy to me with a sword, and with a spear, and with a shield: but I come to thee in name of the Lord of hosts, the God of the armies of Isreal, whom thou hast defied. Verse 46; This day will the Lord deliver thee into mine hand; and I will smite thee, and take thine head from thee; and I will give the carcases of the host of the Philistines this day unto the fowls of the air, and to the wild beast of the earth; that all the earth may know that there is a God in Isreal. Verse 47; And all these assembly shall know that the Lord saveth not with sword and spear; for the battle is the Lord's, and he will give you into our hands.
You get to take note that David was smart by not allowing the Philistine, Goliath to strike first, but rather he hasted, ran towards the Philistine, unto his bag, he put his hand, took a stone and thence slang it, and smote the Philistine in his forehead, that the stone sunk into his forehead; and he fell upon his face to the earth.
Verse 50; So David prevailed over the Philistine with a sling and with a stone, and smote the Philistine, and slew him; but there was no sword in the hand of David. Verse 51; Therefore David ran, and stood upon the Philistine, and took his sword, and drew it out of the shealth thereof, and slew him, and cut off his head therewith. And when the Philistines saw their champion was dead, they fled. Verse 52; And the men of Isreal and of Judah arose, and shouted, and pursued the Philistines, until thou come to the valley, and to the gates of Ekron. And the wounded of the Philistines fell down by the way to Shaaraim, even unto Gath, and unto Ekron.
In conclusion, you must define what you want in and out of life in the midst of conflicting options on hand with a clear and sound mind awaiting opportunities. Yes, the opportunities will always come, but then, it depends on how prepared you are that can account you success in life. You must remain focus and be definite at it when it comes. Stop thinking and if you must think you must be quick about it. Time to shoot is not the time think. You must have thought out your options well before hand; so what are you thinking? Shoot your dreams across your goalposts, score your goals across life goalposts and be a success. Am Fame Agidife and I just want to add my voice to voice of reasoning.
