The Placenta

THE PLACENTA

(checkmating the nourishing value of the vision)

Written by: Oluwatosin Animasahun

For every vision I've seen, there has always been a particular point in time when something becomes captured in the thought of the mind of the visionary which usually leads to the proposal, the formation, planning and execution of projects within the context of what was originally captured in the mind. This has been the progressive origin to which visions are birthed.

However, I have come to discover that not every vision that has these inspiring records really has what it takes to become a full grown one. Follow me carefully as I make you understand this much more;

There are three developmental phases of a vision. There's the formation phase ; when the vision is actually conceived, this usually happens as a result of what was seen, what was heard, or what was felt. The second phase is the nourishing stage ; where you give yourself to studying information and acquiring knowledge that can help in developing the vision you have conceived. And I call the final phase the Delivery phase. This is a time of skyrocketing. It is the time you experiment your vision and measure the fulfilment by the values you get from it.

I've seen lots of people who have been inspired as soon as the vision was formed. Truly, they perceived some things that negated the integrity of some other things they have lived for, which is perfect enough to produce a vision.

Some even went further to study the things that could make them prepare a perfect environment to grow their vision. All of these things are not the issue. It is very easy to put up a study; definitely!

The point is that, a lot of visionary couldn't picture the effect and create what is known to be a Placenta. A placenta is a vascular muscle that supplies food and oxygen from the mother to the foetus (an unborn baby), and also passes waste to the mother. The placenta by responsibility is supposed to keep an active chain of distribution between the mother and the foetus.


(Please patiently read the remaining contents so that you won't get lost)

Knowing fully well that what the mother is made up of determines what is being passed across to the foetus, the things that the mother is made up of are exactly what has also been keeping the mother alive and active. So, the mother is fully aware that what keeps her alive is what keeps the unborn baby alive. 

This means that the placenta is what gives the mother an assurance that the baby also depends on the things she takes in. The placenta is the only reason why the baby can live in the similitude of what the mother lives by. The placenta is the only reason to which the foetus can be active.

Dear visionary, this mother represents what we all are made of, it represents our purposes in life; the reason for our existence. Many visions have crumbled because of the absence of a link between them and the purpose of our existence. The placenta then represents our passion; it is the long dwelling strength we derive out of our purposes. It is the umbilical cord that can never be cut out once the purpose is defined.

We can't just pick up a vision that has nothing to do with what we live for, just because those visions are worth trying out, or just because those visions can be valuable and profitable does not mean it can make us get fulfilled.

The real instrument that determines the sustainability and long durability of a vision is the passion. Make sure every vision has the fingerprint of your passion before you think about launching them. Your passion is what will be the fuel on the long run.

Have you been thinking about launching a vision that does not lie within the circumference of your passion? Think about it again and again before you launch it and check the percentage of your passion that you can find around it.

Have you been inside a vision that is failing but you are afraid of dropping it? Don't be ashamed of redirecting what you live out for into the right part. 

It is also worthy of note that it is not all failing visions that do not have a placenta. If you are sure that the vision was born out of purpose and passion but yet failing, keep pushing! You will soon arrive...
