Life is a wheel

You are not obeying Me when you keep on postponing or disregarding My instructions. It is important that you obey Me immediately once you know what you are supposed to do.

Let the ball roll once I said, "GO!" What happens when you don't? Help for another person who needs help will be delayed. But, of course I can use other persons to do it for you, but there are things that must initiate from you first. Remember that everyone of you has a role, I cannot always pick someone else to act as your proxy because they also have something to do in their path.

Imagine life as a cycle, like a turning wheel or gear that gets stuck in one or two places because someone didn't do his job. He slept on it or ignored it or deserted his post to look at another wheel that was turning so smoothly, it reached it's destination quickly. Then remembering his place on his own wheel, he comes running back to his post, he struggles to push it out of the rut where it got stuck and ask the help of others who stayed to prop up the wheel so no one below will get crushed. But they have fallen ill, weakened with the struggle because too many abandoned their posts, fascinated with other turning wheels.

In your wheel of life, there are many assigned to the same wheel, going to the same destination, don't get lured by anyone asking for your help to make their wheels turn, No! Grasp your own wheel and make it run smoothly and efficiently and once you keep it turning, there will be many who will get attracted to ask for your help, some would want to push it either toward your goal or to waylay it to distract you.

Be careful then of free riders, they just make your load heavy and difficult for your wheel to turn. You will have helpers if someone in your wheel will pass away, there will always be someone to replace them if they die, but if they dessert their post, your wheel will have to turn without them.

If you have deserted your post in the wheel that you are supposed to be part of, then catch up with it double or triple time, lest it might reach the destination they are going without you to share in its achievement. You will then be a bystander watching them celebrate their feat, and what do you have? Tired and weary from catching up, but only dust in your hands and feet to show you did nothing to help your team.

Life is a relay, everyone should help each other turn the wheel of life. Like a big gear, with so many cogs to make it turn, that is life.
