Moving too Fast
My daughter was excited about doing a project with her class. They took a few pumpkin seeds with the idea of planting them. In her haste, she moved the plant into a larger pot not realizing that the pot or the budding pumpkin was ready. Here are a few things I learned while watching my daughter move too fast, it can hurt your pumpkin.
Good Idea
Here’s the thing, moving too fast you might be jumping from one situation not understanding where you are about to go. She moved the budding seed from her plastic bag into a small pot. Which was fine. But when she saw that it was rapidly growing, she wanted to move it into a larger pot.
Even though her father was going to move find a more suitable place outside to plant the pumpkin.
But who am I.
Don’t get wrong, she had the right idea. But she was in a hurry. She put the baby pumpkin into a larger pot. Not realizing that the pot had ants in it, and the pumpkin wasn’t moved properly. Some of the roots were still in the other pot.
Good Lesson
There’s a lesson here.
Yes, we may want to move.
Yes, we may want to move quickly.
But we have to be observant. There might be ants in the other place and space we want to go. What are the ants in our lives? What are the ants that are hiding in our personal garden?
Ants of negativity
Ants called stress
Ants called sickness
Ants called greed
These ants can eat away at the pumpkin of progress.
Not only that, she moved the plant into another pot. Some of the deeper roots did not come. Sometimes, when we move on, or level up in life. We have the tendency to forget where we came from. Family, don’t ever forget where you came from. Don’t forget your loved ones and friends who helped you along the way. And most of all don’t forget your faith in God. My Grandmother would say
Take the Lord with you where ever you go.
Even though she’s a little sad, she learned a good lesson.
Good Faith
In all this, in her haste, she forgot that her father was going to find a suitable place for her pumpkin. Never, exclude God from your plans. He has the right place, and space for you. He knows what you need. Trust him.
Conclusion
Be careful with moving too fast, because it can hurt your pumpkin of progress. Don’t be complacent. But before moving. Look around for a better space. Because you might have some ants waiting for your pumpkin. Talk to you later.
