The Law of Gestation (ePub)

The Gestation Law is complementary to the Law of Attraction. It states that there is a given incubation or gestation period for each seed. A certain period that a specific seed requires to be formed until it can evolve from the blueprint to a fully realized physical shape. Being prospective entrepreneurs, when the time comes to making the business vision clear, they are ready to go ahead in full swing in abnormal haste. There may be many factors that add to this hurried decision. Money may be a decisive factor. At a workplace that does not longer feel comfortable to be in, it may be a relief from a stressful work environment. Whatever may be the reason, one of the most powerfully motivating desires people face as they struggle through their lives and make strides in building a new business entity to surpass the surrounding competitors. However, with a higher degree of persistence, dedication, and self valuation, it is always critical to balance this driving force. Founding a new company or venture is like a new baby's birth. There is a gestation cycle and a developmental phase, which is extremely crucial. It is not at all comfortable. It cannot be hurried. The essence is to allow space for every activity to take shape and evolve in its natural course.

Every bit of the clearly defined and vividly crafted priority is a seed in itself. Each has a period of gestation, a fixed period from the moment one plants it to the point that it has completely evolved into its tangible shape. How long will the gestation period remain like that? The question is not so simple to answer. People have no clue about it. But this is what they do know that it will take a while. Besides, they also know that if they continue to unearth the planted seeds, the entire effort will go in vain. Sometimes, people cause the process to slow down a bit or, worse, stall it entirely when they get nervous about completing the task. It is because anxiety and stress prevent them from reaching their higher-thinking layers of the brain responsible for visualizing and scheduling the tasks lying ahead. As a result, they tend to get trapped in the survival state and have no options but to make choices from a position of scarcity and insecurity, while sending mixed signals to the society as a whole, they are apprehensive about more uncertain things to come.
