strategy like a slingshot

The Divine strategy for success. A strategy unlike any other.

What if,

It were an unconventional strategy?

 

We are taught to hustle,

And bustle at rapid speed.

Invest like we’ve got nothing left,

And keep pushing forward.

 

Climbing the ladder,

Constantly ascending.

Driving ourselves into the night,

Where demons desire to fright.

 

Work is no longer play,

And we’re beginning to pay,

For the dark evenings.

 

Many strive for the bags -

Gucci or Louis Vuitton?

But the only bags received,

Are worn beneath tired eyes,

From sleepless nights,

Drained lymphocytes,

Depleted electrolytes,

And compromised sights.

 

The heights we strive for,

The mountains we climb,

Will only leave us wanting more,

If we don’t give it time.

 

What if,

It were an unconventional strategy?

The slingshot strategy.

The one my Father taught me.

 

He would say, “My child,

Come rest.

Lay your head on my chest,

And learn My ways

For the fulfilling days ahead.”

 

He would whisper,

“My child,

The strategy for success

Is to rest.”

 

“You must think like a slingshot,

Drawing back into the right spot.

Pulling backward,

to propel forward.”

 

“You must be stretched past your limit,

And be present in every minute.

For the stretching determines,

The maximum distance,

The miles and influence,

You will cover.”

 

“As you pull back,

You may fear you’ll tear.

Afraid you’ll reach

Your breaking point.”

 

“But the slingshot strategy

Is out of your hands.

And the One who is firing,

Knows the places you’ll land.

Knows the capacity of stretching,

Where to aim,

And when to release.

In the slingshot strategy,

You’ll always be at peace.”

 

“It’s a peculiar thought.

Not one they ought

To adopt.”

 

“But listen to Me,

And soon you will see

this Divine strategy

Will hand you the key

To prosperity.”

 

“Do not get caught in the rush,

And the sea of busy motivation.

But come, rest with Me,

Fall onto your knees,

And let Me slingshot you

Into eternity.”
