The Last Candy

THE LAST CANDY

(the mystery of enquiring)

Written by Oluwatosin Animasahun

Today on MOFYOV, I want to open your eyes to see the wisdom behind the story of a young man. I was communing with some of my dear ones this past week when this story found expression within my cerebrum through a great man I have recently been partnering with; of course, he inspired me with that story of a candy gentleman.

There was this gentleman, who planned to embark on a journey that his career success depended on, though it was a very long journey, it was as important as his life. He saved a lot of money over a long period of time and was able to gather the money that would be enough to book a seat on the ship. He couldn't wait to save more because time wasn't on his side any longer.

Because he couldn't save enough money that would cater for his meal throughout the journey on that ship, he then bought six candies since the journey would take him for 6 days. He planned to take one candy per day as he thought that plan would be more brilliant than taking nothing throughout the journey. 

While on the ship, he saw people going in and coming out of the cafeteria with freshly prepared varieties of food but he wouldn't look or check the food in the cafeteria because he had decided to be contented with the candies he had brought along with him and at the same time manage the little money he had left with him. He became very light and all of his strengths were almost gone.

On the 6th day, he was left with the last candy that morning, he became frustrated and concluded to get a taste of the food inside that ship before he exit. He said to himself, "I must have a taste of this food I have been seeing and perceiving for the past six days even if it means spending my last penny"

Lo and behold, after this young gentleman had been served, he brought out money to pay for the meal and he was told that his money would not be needed because the money he had used to board the ship had covered the whole meal he would eat for the whole journey. He became very angry then asked why such information was not properly passed across to him on the first day, he was told that information was coded intentionally and only those who would enquire will be told. It was indeed the zenith rule of that ship!

Dear visionary, most of the reasons why many visions are suffering from kwashiorkor are because a lot of visionary have failed to make enquiries during the nourishing phase of their visions. Enquiring is the act of searching for the hidden truths about information.

No matter how intelligent and smart you can be as a visionary, no matter how prepared you can be for that journey, there are certain hidden truths you need to enquire along that journey which your survival depends on throughout that journey. 

The rate at which you can enquire certain hidden truths around a vision determines the level of your sustainability along such vision. Your preparations at the onset cannot sustain you to achieve that success; there is a piece of information on the road you must make use of.

Have you been thinking lately why you have become frustrated along the line even though your preparations were intact? Could it be that the pride of your adequate preparation is drawing you from making certain enquiries you are supposed to make? 

As a visionary, there are two important things you must be conscious of; firstly, you must be able to understand that each information you have is encrypted with its own timing. Just because the information is useful now does not make it useful later. Secondly, the discovery of every information is also wrapped in time, and the simple act of enquiring is the KEY to every information. If you enquire for a piece of information and you did not get that information, it does not mean that information is not meant for you, all you need to do is to change your method of enquiring. This is called Enquiry Management! 

Finally, please note that all of the information you have about a vision is ONLY enough to start that vision. That a vision started well doesn't mean it will end well. 

The amount of the hidden truths you can comprehend about a vision during the process of that vision is what determines the end of the vision thereof! (You may have to read that again and again for proper digestibility).

However, the comprehended information that starts a vision also matters and it speaks much volume.

May the eyes of your understanding be opened to unveil (enquire) the mysteries that are enveloped in certain junctures of your ways as a visionary.
