Recharge fast

” … keep going”! They urge you on. “You can” they encourage, they mean well, very well indeed. The trouble is they can’t see the gauge, none of them can see it. The power bank indicator is hidden from them. The fuel level indicator is

not on their radar. They can’t even read the monitor, they don’t know what it is saying or used for. To be honest with you, they don’t even know you are meant to carry out checks. They are doers, motivators, pushers, enablers etc and boy we sure do need them. But they don’t know when to stop, to have a break, to refuel, to recharge, to take a back seat, to regroup, to have a recess, they have no concept of that whatsoever.

But you have the gauge, you can see the power bank-level, you know how to check the air in the tyre, you know what the pressure is. And you know what? you are flat! As flat as pancake, the vehicle is going nowhere, absolutely nowhere, the wheels can’t move. You are to the rim. There is no charge on the phone, you can’t make a single call, you can’t finish the chat, the text, whatever it is you were doing. You are in the middle of nowhere, it is not safe to stop, it is dangerous, but you are down to the rim. You are out of gasoline, not a drop left, the reserve is depleted.

“How could I have lost power so fast, I just recharged”? Where is all my credit? where did all my battery power go? You asked. “The wheels are new” you maintained. You are confused and puzzled. The answer is simple. You drove so fast and hard, you downloaded humongous files, the workout was gruelling and intense, all the calories have been burnt, it’s all gone. There is only one way to do it, the only way, no other way, stop! Eat! Replenish! The news was hard, it hit you like a sledgehammer. You were full to overflowing a minute ago. Your joy knew no bound. It makes no difference, you are depleted now.

Find your plug without any hesitation, find your power source, plug yourself right in and stay there until you are fully charged. You must recharge fast and not be tempted to unplug at the first sight of juice (power) flowing through. Stay plugged in, you are not done yet. The journey is long and hard, the download memory required is large, the battery power needed is heavy, and only a full fuel tank will do the job, don’t leave the pump until you are done, don’t stop the air until the tyres are fully pressurised.

There is no other way, my friend, there is a world out there waiting to be conquered, a journey to be made, a race to be won, business to be finished, but you must stop now and recharge fast. Do it! Find your power source, plug yourself in and be restored.
