They Said We Were Born Just Yesterday

They  said  we  were  born  just  yesterday, they  said  what  do  we  know?  How long have we stayed  here?

All  these  sound  like  insults  but  no,  they  are  facts.

Yes,  we  were  born  just  yesterday  but  we  stayed  up  all  night  to  unravel  the  histories  of ages  past. We  were  born  just  yesterday  but  we  stayed  up  all  night  to  decipher  the obstacles  that  fell  our  heroes  past. Yes,  we  were  born  just  yesterday  but  we  stayed  up all  night  to  find  solutions  to  tomorrow’s  problems  already!

Yes,  we  know  not  so  much  because  we  focus  on  what  is  work  for  us  and  refuse  to  be distracted  by  fake  visions  and  missions. We  know  not  so  much  because  we  avoid  knowing  whatever  is  not  in  God’s  curriculum  for  us. We  know  not  so  much because  we found  out  so  much  is  too  much  and  ‘too much’  can  change  our  lanes  of  travel  so  we refuse  to  know  so  much  which  is  too  much!

Yes,  we  have  not  stayed  here  too  long,  but  we  have  traveled  far  back  and  way  forth  to understand  that  time  itself  is  a revealer.  It  will  soon  reveal  the  depth  of  our  strive  and the  height  of  our  drive  to  not  only  survive—  but  to  thrive  in  not  only  these  present  days, but also  the  ages  even  yet  to  come.

We  were  born  just  yesterday  but  we  stayed  up  all  night  to  travel  into  the  ages  past  and centuries  to  come!
