Work your way from the bottom to the Top

       Years Ago, One fine day, we went to the beach, I hadn’t been to a beach before then by the way (It was the first and last time). We set up immediately, Our supplies laid on the ground and mum got to work immediately-Applying Sunscreen On my siblings and I- Dad Lay on one of those chairs that’s taken to a beach, My Siblings took off and got busy stuffing their faces with Sand, Nothing could have been more perfect!

Like any other 10 Year old, I already had a full itinerary for the days activities. That day I was going to do something I had never done, Build a sand castle.

Now it’s not as easy as it appears on TV (I watched a lot of cartoons, that was my own little idea of a YouTube crash course). So with all the determination I could muster, I started my building.

30 minutes into it and I had cried about 2 times because it refused to take shape. I was exhausted and wanted to take a nap but I kept on thinking about how cozy it would feel to sit inside my castle immediately it was done. What I had in mind to build of course was the castle The Beast had Kept Beauty locked up in because what else was a castle.

I thought the problem was probably from the sand in the area I set up camp and quickly wiped my tears, Juice box in hand, tiny bucket and spade in other, I went on to find the best sand to make my wishes come true. Needless to say, An hour went by and I still hadn’t accomplished anything, Then my dad came over to me. That’s when the real flood started.

After my little bawling episode that I am sure had attracted some very nasty glares, I began recanting my Ordeal. Dad smiled kindly, offered to assist me and explained that when I start something I don’t know anything about, it’s advisable to start small. In my tiny mind, it didn’t make sense that I would want something big but begin little but I didn’t argue with Dad of course because, baseline is he offered to help. He got on his knees and we got to work. Another 30 minutes and I had me a Sand castle, It wasn’t big like what I could crawl into but important thing was that it was mine.

Why exactly am I remembering this now?

Many of us make A certain mistake in life,We want something and automatically presume that we get to start from the top. Life is all about level and gradual progress. We have to be willing to work hard for what we want. We also have to be able to trust the process completely. Nothing comes to one on a platter of Gold, Anything Worth holding on to deserves hardwork and decorum.

Life is to be taken with the right amount of seriousness so that we do not start complaining of it not being fair when we aren’t granted some silly wishes.
