Once, there was a man named Seth who worked as a project manager at a digital agency. He was a hard worker and was always willing to go the extra mile. His boss, Christoph, was a different story. He was lazy and often took credit for Seth’s work. He also had a bad habit of partying after work and on the weekends.
Seth had a dream of becoming a published composer. He would often work on his music after work and on the weekends. Christoph would often ask Seth to go out with him after work, but Seth would always decline, saying that he had work to do. Christoph would laugh and say, “Of course you do. You always do.”
Seth continued to work hard on his music. He knew that God saw him and all the work he was doing. He knew that even if his music came to nothing, he had still done it for the Lord. He slowly built a portfolio of his work and eventually submitted it to a publishing company. He was thrilled when he was offered a contract. He gave his two weeks notice at work and started working on his music full-time.
Christoph was shocked when Seth told him that he was leaving. He said, “I thought you loved working here.” Seth replied, “I did, but I love my music more. I’m finally going to be able to pursue my dream.” Christoph wished Seth luck and said, “I certainly hope you succeed.”
Seth threw a party at his apartment to celebrate his new job. He invited his friends and family, and they all had a great time. Seth was so happy to finally be able to pursue his dream. He knew that he would face challenges along the way, but he was determined to succeed.
As the proverb says, “Sow your seed in the morning, and at evening let your hands not be idle, for you do not know which will succeed, whether this or that, or whether both will do equally well.”
Seth’s story is a reminder that we should never give up on our dreams. If we work hard and never give up, we can achieve anything we set our minds to.
“Sow your seed in the morning, and at evening let your hands not be idle, for you do not know which will succeed, whether this or that, or whether both will do equally well.”
Ecclesiastes 11:6
