It Takes Time!: Perfect and complete growth

By Tshiamo Mokua

DO YOU WANT TO ACHIEVE EXPONENTIAL
GROWTH AND SUCCESS?

We often inhibit our growth by simply being impatient. When things don’t happen as fast as we thought they would, we start to lose hope and begin to despair. Little do we know that often we give up right at the turning point of what we’ve been working towards. We are so obsessed with instant-living where everything happens instantaneously. We lack the urge to go through the process and we always choose the easiest challenges. We want to achieve more, but we want that to happen instantly with no or little effort. We fail to understand that going through the process is the key to infinite success and the only means to come full circle.

This book will:

Help you develop the patience and strength needed to achieve infinite success
Introduce you to the process involved in achieving perfect and complete growth
Challenge you to patiently go after your dreams amid challenges you may face
Help you find your true identity and power in who God says you are
Teach you how to succeed in your workplace, in your studies and in your life

Dedication

I dedicate this book to my son – David Audyn Lefatshe Mokua. Son, truly I say to you: With God all things are possible – Matthew 19:26 (NIV)

Acknowledgements

First and foremost, I’d like to thank God for his unfailing love, sufficient grace, blessings, and His mercies that are made new for me every day.

I secretly wrote this book with only a few having knowledge of it, but a multitude of people whom I’ve encountered contributed to this project unbeknownst to them. I therefore would like to thank everyone who has been part of my journey since my childhood days to where I am today.

To my friends, whom I still regard as my brothers – Lance, Mothusi, Glad and Edward, although we are no longer close, I’d like to thank you all for cultivating the gift of writing inside of me and for always being there for me. I truly miss our glory days when we used to rock the crowds on stage.

To my late mother, words cannot explain how much I miss you. I hope I make you proud as you look upon me. I also dedicate this book to you.

To my family, especially my grandmother – thank you for your love and teachings. I stand a strong man today because of how the whole family raised me – I’m forever grateful.

To my best friend – Robyn Ellen Mokua, I’m so blessed to call you my wife. Thank you for pushing me to publish this book. When I was stressing about how I was going to do it, you said I should go ahead anyway. Thank you for understanding when I came home late from work and had to still work on this project. I love you so much.

To my two brothers – Olebogeng Israel Mokua and Ofentse Ezekiel Mokua, it’s funny how we were never close but yet loved each other so much even though we didn’t often say it to each other. Thank you both for always supporting every single project that I undertake. Although we stay far from each other and don’t often see each other, know that I carry you both in my heart always.

To those who I may have forgotten to mention and who have contributed directly and indirectly to this project – I say thank you!

I pray and hope that this book will touch and change people’s lives, especially those who are hopeless.

Thank you, Tshiamo Mokua

Introduction

Often in our daily lives at work or school and even in our personal lives, we have this burning desire to grow and eventually reach the goals that we have set for ourselves. The challenge we face is the urge to grow and reach our goals as soon as we start. We now live in a world of instant manifestations and we’ve become accustomed to this ‘get it quick and easy’ lifestyle so much so that we are no longer interested in the process involved in reaching a perfect, complete and a long-lasting growth. This book will help you to understand the importance of going through the process and following every step with patience in
