One of the fastest things a child would like to do is learn how to walk. Spending time around infants can testify to that. However, no matter how much an infant may wish to walk, they must learn how to take each step first before properly gaining stamina without falling.
In life, there are several processes we must go through before getting to the place we want to be. Interestingly, there isn’t such a place as a final destination on Earth. As much as we may have at one point or another had some prospects or dreams about how we wanted our lives to be, getting such dreams to come true leaves room for more things to accomplish.
So, in simple terms, the more you get, the more you desire. However, in the midst of all this, there’s a place for learning how to walk. Learning how to walk involves the phases it takes to become who you are or where you are. Often times, in the process of learning how to walk, one can be susceptible to injuries. Because the excitement of lifting a foot encourages you to lift another, whether or not you have suffered injuries from falls,.
Another interesting thing about learning how to walk is that, after learning to walk, you may discover along the way what it takes to run a sprint, relay, or marathon without fainting.
Also, in the process of learning to walk, you may also discover that those with whom you share the same age have already started walking while you are still crawling. It doesn’t matter! Our times and seasons are different.

It got to the point where both children were separated and played differently. However, with time, the boy who would always crawl started running and not just standing. The day both boys met at the children’s park, they were now competing in sports games without one overtaking the other.
In learning to walk, there are things that must be endured and hurdles to overcome. However, the joy of what comes after learning to walk should encourage the one learning to rise after falling.
After all, a righteous man falls seven times. (Proverbs 24:16).
