THE SCAFFOLDS OF PURPOSE:
Knowing When to Move On.
In the world of construction, no skyscraper ever rises without scaffolds.
They are not glamorous, but they are indispensable. Engineers and builders rely on them to bring visions to life, to achieve structure, strength, and even aesthetic brilliance.
Yet, once the structure is complete,flawless, finished, admired, the scaffolds are taken down. NOT BECAUSE THEY FAILED, BUT BECAUSE THEY SUCCEEDED.
They are no longer needed at that site. In fact, leaving them in place becomes a liability, a threat to the very beauty they once helped create.
This is not just the story of architecture,it is the story of life.
IN RELATIONSHIPS, ORGANIZATIONS, OR MISSIONS, YOU MAY PLAY THE ROLE OF THE SCAFFOLD.
YOU HELP BUILD. YOU SUPPORT. YOU CARRY WEIGHT. AND WHEN THE BUILDING STANDS TALL, YOU'RE DISMISSED, QUIETLY, PERHAPS PAINFULLY.
THE SAME HANDS THAT ONCE LEANED ON YOU NOW PUSH YOU ASIDE.
But hear this truth: YOUR REJECTION IS NOT ALWAYS A REFLECTION OF YOUR INADEQUACY. IT IS OFTEN PROOF OF YOUR IMPACT.
Scaffolds are never thrown away,they are relocated. To new sites. New visions. New elevations.
So when life gives you the “SCALFOLD TREATMENT” when you're overlooked, underappreciated, or removed, don’t sink into despair. Instead, recognize the sign: your assignment is complete. It’s time to shift. Purpose is not static,it travels.
THE WISE DO NOT MOURN DISCONNECTION; THEY REDEPLOY THEIR STRENGTH. They understand that relevance is seasonal, and significance is migratory. Just as scaffolds don’t cling to completed buildings, you must not remain where you’re no longer needed.
Shift with the paradigm. Relocate with purpose. Rebuild with wisdom.
Your peace, your power, and your progress lie in how you manage your role as life’s scaffold. Know when to rise, know when to release, and know when to reposition.
