Becoming simply means the process of evolving into something or someone. We all have dreams and visions of who we want to become and what we want to achieve.
As the above definition suggests that there is a process involved in achieving this. In between our dreams and our desired end, are the processes of time, preparation, development, diligence and striving; all of which come under the grand process of becoming.
Time is the duration or period within which the process of becoming is completed. This time is subjective; peculiar to the individual involved and their particular situation. Someone may complete their becoming process within a short time, while others may adopt similar strategies and yet take a longer time. That is why we should avoid comparing ourselves with people who have similar dreams to ours. It is good to learn tricks and strategies from them but never let someone else's speed make you look down on yourself. Instead, concentrate on pushing yourself to become who you want to be.
Preparation refers to the process of drawing up plans and strategies towards becoming. This preparation is important as it directs our actions and ensures that we are on track to fulfilling our dreams. Actively engaging yourself in this stage will take you further to the process of development. Development implies accessing the right information, training and exposure to improve your knowledge, expertise, and experience in your chosen field which is crucial to fulfilling your dreams.
As we develop ourselves through knowledge gathering
and training, we begin to put what we have learnt into practice. This requires
diligence and hard work. No matter where you find yourself in your period of
training, development or work, your diligence will distinguish you from others
and open more doors for you. This may take you up the ladder of your becoming, further
and quicker than others.
As we maintain diligence in our work and practice,
there will be situations when we become discouraged by unwanted occurrences or
delays. We may be overlooked, ignored, disappointed or betrayed. We may fail
even when we try our best. No matter the unfortunate circumstance, it is
important to keep striving towards your goal.
When the going gets tough, the tough keep striving. Never give up or settle for less. Keep striving until your becoming is complete.
When the going gets tough, the tough keep striving. Never give up or settle for less. Keep striving until your becoming is complete.
I wish you utmost success as you become all that you
were made to be!
Cheers!
