The squirrel (a copied post)

I saw thus post which I know will help us

​*THE SQUIRREL*

Addicted to nature and its blessings, I sat in front of the TV watching, learning and listening to how a man was trying to prevent this small mammal(s) from eating the seeds he feeds to his birds. 

This man tried a set of techniques which would be mentioned in as we go on. The squirrel, an furry animal with sharp claws, flexible bones, a tail for balance and change in direction during flight and the famous quick, fast action reflexes which helps it reach its food and also escape it’s nemeses (other animals that might want it for food).
Now, to the main course, as mentioned above the man in question loves feeding birds and they are of different varieties but because the feed of the birds is usually served on a raised platform, it tends to attract this particular feeder, the squirrel(s). In a bid to reduce the number of seeds eaten by the squirrel(s) around, he changed the poles with different materials such as lead pipes, wooden poles, ceramics even with galvanized iron, still this changes didn’t deter the squirrels one bit. In fact, he actually tried using a triangular pole but because the paws of the squirrels were well built for grasping and balancing they defeated this enemy easily. 
Finally, he robbed grease on a wooden pole and then hoped that this would work as he was running out of options, standing aloof, he watched as a squirrel came by and tried to climb the pole as always but something seem to make the pole slippery and down went the squirrel.

 Happy, the man went to sleep, thinking *I’ve finally found a barrier* but unknown to him, the fur coat of the squirrel was rubbing off the grease with each unsuccessful climb, by morning the man came out to see his enemy on the open platform enjoying the food meant for his birds. 
As seen on TV, the changes in poles each at first caused a little setback but the squirrel(s) were adamant, stubborn little creatures (who will not take no for an answer) and wouldn’t stop climbing because all they set their mind to were the seeds, the goal, the satisfaction, a definite major purpose, the desire which was raised up on an open platform. 
When we surmount a phase or level, life will always bring unto us something else, an event, circumstance which we’ve never come across before just to make us lose focus,to tire us out and at the end lose our aim,goal,ambition and purpose. Learn from the squirrel(s), let unrelenting determination help you achieve your heart desire in the face of varied adversity, the squirrel(s) is well adapted to the environment in which they are, build yourself, equip yourself for the journey, to help you get to that place where desire to be, let the hunger to climb to achieve your aim, to get your seeds, your dream push you, let this take you to the top.

*_BE DETERMINED*_ ….
