There is something about rising and the need to build capacity in your youthful age.
Life will always expose you when you rise to the top. The top is a two-edged sword. It doesn't shield you rather it exposes you. Alot of persons rise to certain levels without having built sufficient capacity to maintain stature in whatever position they occupy.
The things around you will always reflect the state of your mind and stature as you rise through to the top. Your new position will not automatically place new wisdom that you failed to acquire on your journey through to the top. Your deficiencies and areas of weakness will be revealed.
Build spiritual capacity— God is telling you to fast now. Fast now! He is calling you to the school of the spirit now because at the next level you will probably not have such time. If you don't build your relationship with God now, administration and work will not allow you too. The cares of life will choke you.
Build emotional capacity— People will step on your toes, they will undermine and trivialise your impact. You will need the ability to be touched with the infirmities of your people. Empathy and compassion will be powerful tools for you.
Build intellectual capacity— All the solutions to your problems have been written by someone. It is hidden in this thing called a book but you keep calling all of them motivational books. Submit to mentorship, do everything you can to cut your journey by half.
Build your financial capacity— Don't ignore this area. Finance is one thing that rules our world. Did you know that the truth is least funded? Our society reveals how we finance errors to distract people. You need financial resources to secure yourself. Most of those your ideas that will benefit societies can't come to fruition without finances. Most of the people you run to for support are refusing to support you. They will rather sponsor error than truth. So why not build your own capacity.
Build your connection— Learn from Jesus and his 500 disciples. Circle small, connection large. His 12 businessmen disciples didn't have a tomb to bury him but his rich follower Joseph of Arimathea had sufficient capacity for that. Build your connection. There will be time were you will need to leverage on the relationships and connections you have built. Again as you climb, your little relationships which are the fundamental ones have the potential of breaking. Family is more important than anything else. Keep in touch with those who have chosen to be family and your immediate family.
Your health— This area should not be left to chance. Eat well, rest, exercise. Do everything to protect your body. It is only one body you have. It is the only thing that gives you license on earth. If anything happens to it you won't be able to move around or impact your world. The world will move on and forget you. Take care of yourself.
I write from my small experience. I have had my fair share of human frailties. I have struggled myself balancing life. We are not perfect beings. Nobody has it all together. Just pick yourself up.
