There is time and season for everything. A farmer cognizant of the various seasons plans his planting so that he can have bountiful harvest in due season. Crops are seasonal and it is the responsibility of the farmer to know each season and farm within that period. A seed planted in the wrong season will not bear the required fruit needed. The farmer cannot therefore blame the seed but himself. Life is in stages and each stage comes with different decision.  

   When you are young you have the luxury of trying things and if they fail you can go back and make amends. However, as we advance in age, there is no room for “try and error”. The demands of life will not be lenient on you to try new things which is why it is imperative to step into your assignment when you have the time. This doesn’t mean to say you can’t still start late and succeed. Start now. Start immediately.

   No more delays. Your season is ending; do something about it. Rise up today and step into your divine assignment. There are a lot of people whose life depends on our purpose. Our delay is also delaying someone’s breakthrough. You are holding back a lot of things which could have been beneficial to multitudes. Step out now.

   The desire has always been there since infancy to be an author but I have procrastinated till now. After wasting three decades of my life already, I feel the time is now. I can’t wait any longer. I know there are lives waiting to read this book to propel them to step up and fulfil their assignment. May God forgive all of us for not stepping out early enough. All hope is not lost. Don’t waste any more time; Act now.
