RE:TIME TO FORGE FORWARD!

This week has been amazing to say the least. A very difficult and tedious week it has been. The week started with me feeling very low and though I cannot put my fingers on why my week started this way I have had to ask the LORD for greater grace to make it through each day as it has been very difficult and challenging.

It has been so challenging that I did not even know what to title this week's motivational until I spoke to one of my mentors today.   We were talking about how challenging it has become to be living and working in Nigeria at this time and it occurred to me that there was only one choice open to us all and that was to forge forward and that was how I came about this week topic.

It is time to forge forward.
It is time to forge ahead despite every opposition, challenge and difficulty.
It is time to forge forward and the question is how does one forge forward.

The Word to 'Forge' is an interesting word, and according to the Merriam-Webster Dictionary the Word can be a noun or a verb. As a noun it is a furnace or a shop where metal is heated and wroth. It is also a workshop where wrought iron is produced. As a transitive verb it means to form by heating and hammering. On the other hand as an intransitive verb it means to move forward slowly and steadily. Or lastly to move with a sudden increase of speed or power.

For the purpose of this write up the second to the last definition is applicable. To move forward slowly and steadily. With the uncertainty of the times that we are living in we must determine to cultivate this mindset of forging forward. It is the only option open to us as powerful, optimistic and positive persons that we are.  

Everything is working to block our view and stifle our movements but we must take purposeful, steady and focused movements at our goals. We must not look back. We must not quit or surrender to fate. We must forge forward and resolutely pursue our dreams, visions, and goals on a daily basis.

The only option open to us is an upward and forward movement. We must forge forward in our plans, purposes and pursuits. This is not the time to cave in and give up. This is the time to forge ahead, forge forward and reach for the stars.  

We must realize that we are closest than when we first began. The journey of a thousand miles starts with one step and we must take definite and progressive steps forward realizing that we are on the way and that we will arrive safely if we refuse to quit.
