THE FALLING STATE!

The falling state is a very important part of the growth process, for everyone who aspires to be an authority in the area that they choose.

It's that point where ideas are far from desirable or even believable.
It's that point where ideas seem isolated and unintelligent.

It's that point for a potter, where only him sees beauty in the clay he is working on!
Emphasis on "working on".

Look my friends, for that beautiful APPLICATION you are happily enjoying, that APP was once in it's "falling state";will most certainly always be because someone is somewhere bearing the brunt of it's success!

The part you see and enjoy is called the Graphic USER Interface.
Notice I highlighted "user", you remain just a user, (with no offence meant);
there are men who have left the user level for the "creators" or "inventors" level.

For that App there is an invisible part that ensures the smooth running of the app, that part is called the " back end".......

In that back-end realm, nothing is fun.

All they have are raw ideas that need to be prepared by them!

All that happens in that realm is work!
Eye strains, Back pains, exhaustion, Fatigue, Brainstorming and sometimes the feeling of quitting!

That's where the codes, intsuctions, programs are written!

The falling state is that coach who is unable to sit through a match in anxiety because he wants results.

It's not the players who are most important in a game of soccer, it's the coach who Strategizes without end , loses sleep, organizes trainings, rejects vacation in the middle of a season, pushes, yells if he has to because scoring goals are his GOALS

The falling state is a state of burden bearing, depression sometimes, just to birth ideas.

The falling state is that woman in Labour, screaming her lungs out.
The process, undesirable but the rewards exhilarating!

That state, where you are willing to pay sacrifices for the future that you desire.

The falling state is that back stage that houses the make up artists, who polish with finesse, those artist that you revere.

Activity does not equal productivity,
The artist may be gyrating on the stage and having a good time but the more active part of the production, is the crew that you cannot see.

See, if you are in your falling state, do not despair.....
Consider it your gift to come back BETTER, STRONGER, WISER, MORE EFFICIENT at what you fell doing.

For me my "falling state" is my desire to wake up to a better version of myself.

For the purpose of explanation,
Let me share a very personal project.

I'm a big dreamer, with plenty i want to do but NONE of my dreams in this world is bigger than becoming a woman who succeeded in her job of being a wife,
the one who ensures she stands by her husband till he becomes all that he was born to be, no matter the cost!

My falling state will be knowing
I'm far from that kind of wife but ensuring i'm working everyday on my attitude, habits, skills, mindset etc to become that!

My falling state will be incubating my thoughts before I write and not just writing because I feel I have a gift in writing.....

I'm not interested in the FREQUENCY of my write up's but in it's INTENSITY!

Oh there's so much in my heart to explain but look at this,
No seed germinates without first falling to the soil.

The soil, a place of dirt,slime, microorganisms etc but that's where nature chooses to act upon seeds.....

The falling state is your most humble state.
It's a place where you should develop strength for your dreams.....

Oh sweetie, Cry if you must.
It's perfectly okay to let your pain out but after you have cried, pick yourself up and ask yourself "what next"? 

Where was I headed before I fell and why was I going in that direction?
These questions will help you understand you're motives better and build in the required adjustments.

For some, your falling state could be business that collapsed,
For some others it could be loss of physical items,
For some others, relationships gone sour and whatever else your experiences may have birthed.

Notice I used FALLING, Present continuous tense, rather than FALLEN, Past tense....
Just before you hit the ground, help will come!

It's not over yet.
A Falling state is not the same as a state of Coma nor death.

It's okay to fall intentionally,
That moment when you take a break from work, activity, social life, social media, to sit by yourself to work out things.
Don't think that your Generator has the ability to run without diesel!
Make necessary stops to top up!

Regardless of what you think you know, take time to sit back, admit your falling state and treasure the gift to make things better!

Oh! be sure, that that seed that fell to the soil will not always remain a seed, it will become a huge tree that will shelter other creatures and possibly provide them with food!

Oh! Your dreams may require loosing a teeth or breaking a bone, but don't forget seeds go through a hard time before germination!

I wish I had a way of displaying my heart on this page for you all to see and I can only pray that you get the exact message I'm trying to pass across....

Be sure that I love you all more than anything else and I desire that you succeed.

Love,
Your Fragile Giant!
