When MUCH Is Given, MUCH Is Required
This one-liner may be ages old as the late famous American President John Kennedy was quoted "To whom MUCH Is Given, MUCH Is Required". Indeed, this strikes at the very core of things that reverberate in our lives. Either you are still a student in the school campus OR now wooing the 'dream girl' of your life OR you finally land a plum job OR finally hit 'pay dirt' in your first strike in your maiden foray as an entrepreneurπππNo sirrrs. while this one-liner is widely mentioned in some passages of the bible, I don't want to falsely come up with a farcical facade of a wisdom that clearly DIDN'T come from me. Instead, much as we are all entitled to ask and dream for the moon, if we did land that plum of a prize, that's when PAYBACK time kicks in, even if no one forewarned you on thisπππThat historical admonition by President Kennedy many decades back speaks NOT only to those who benefited by material wealth OR comfort as he was addressing then those placed at the NEXUS OF OPPORTUNITIES, people who were now straddling along the corridors of power. But hold on. We DON'T need to go up to those lofty levels. Instead, let us reflect as to what we wanted and what we asked in the past which we were given. If indeed we were given, then To whom MUCH Is Given, MUCH Is Required πππI bear witness a few times in the past wherein I saw how some people [whom I know first hand] were angling for the best fruits up in the trees. And they got it, harvested those premium fruits and enjoyed it. But before you know it, they seem to have been so intoxicated with those small milestone successes when they totally blanked out, not realizing enough that To whom MUCH Is Given, MUCH Is Required❗❗❗What is hardly publicized is that after you get your plum prize, it WON'T be long before the luster of that prize will be gone, evaporating in thin air. Then you get into that same vicious cycle where you got to grind and kick your ass hard to get back on the road, regain that momentum and keep going all over again. Here's a STERN warning though. After your first lapse, the margin for error is getting smaller. To whom MUCH Is Given, MUCH Is Required✅✅✅No one size fits all. That explains why we're here, to share my 2-cents where it's worth it.
