Momentum

When I was younger there was a hand pump water borehole at the beginning of our street and it was a government project to provide better water for the people of our community. I remember my mum would ask us to fetch water from this hand borehole for our drinkable water and I hated that because fetching water from a hand pump borehole was never easy and you would have to pump hard before water could start coming out, sometimes it is not about pumping hard because you have to maintain a constant level of pressure on the lever before the pump draw water to the top and if you stop the water will go back down.
I hated the borehole at that time because you had to pump hard before the water could come out but it became easy when the water was out and you just had to maintain the same level of pressure if you left the lever for so long you would start all over again and This happened all the time which was always frustrating for me and sometimes if I went there and I had pumped and the water did not come out I would drop the bucket and go back home. We all have that hand pump borehole in our lives and we manage it differently.
The other side
Anytime time we are introduced to a new opportunity or a new business we press hard at the beginning and later give up because we do not see any results and we end up regretting seeing another person succeeding in the same field. Just like the hand pump borehole you have to press hard at the beginning and maintain the same level of pressure without giving up because if you do you will have to start all over again. Just like I said in my last post most people did not do it long enough to see any result from there. You must never leave the lever and keep on pumping until you see a result and immediately you get a result it becomes easy because you don’t have to pump as hard again and this is where some people relent.
Some people relent after the result and remember that if you leave the lever for so long the water will go back down and you will have to start all over again. after getting the results it might become easy but we must not give up because you need a little pressure now and you don’t need to pump as hard as the initial but you must never relent or leave the lever for so long. It is easy to get carried away after a big result but what this does is that it spoils our momentum and when something disrupts it sometimes it is gone forever.
Don’t break it
Momentum is very important in life and we must always maintain it, if you can’t keep the momentum going it will be very difficult for us to see a true result and even after the result we must never relent or stop what is giving us the results, breaking our momentum does not always end well our momentum must remain constant if we don’t want to go back to square one.
Thanks for your time.
