Someone once told me that it is better to stay in a big corporate multinational company than stay in a small startup enterprise because, “It is better to be a small fish in a big pond than be the big fish in a small pond.”

Well after much thought, I think that it can be better to stay in a small pond as long as that’s the pond where God wants you to be in.  Otherwise, it’ll be futile to swim in a big pond where you get bumped off by other big fishes who could block your resources to becoming a big fish as well.

If you however are one of those people tasked by God to stay in that big pond now that you’re a small fish.  Don’t fret.  God is going to ensure your growth in that pond.

The important thing is that you know where God is placing you and you are willing to swim in it.

“Where there is no vision, the people cast off restraint.”
– Proverbs 29:18

It is important that you don’t cast off restraint because you don’t want to regret anything later on when you’ve had the opportunity to seize it.  It’s another thing to live life not knowing there were actually opportunities.  But knowing that there were opportunities and you didn’t get around to getting them is another thing altogether.

As a Christian, it’s impossible not to know that you have the right opportunities available to you.  Why?  Because God is not selfish not to reveal them because He has designed you for success.

Do you know which pond you are destined to be in?  Ask God now.  And swim freely!
