Hatching Greatness: The Divine Process of Becoming

 Greatness often begins as a silent process, hidden from the world and even from yourself. It’s not flashy, not loud, and rarely does it announce itself early. The Divine has placed something extraordinary within you—a seed, an idea, a calling—that must be nurtured, trusted, and refined before it can break through.

The Inner Work Precedes the Outer Evidence

True greatness starts on the inside. Just as an eaglet develops unseen within its eggshell, your transformation happens beneath the surface, away from external validation. The frustration of feeling stuck, of working tirelessly without visible results, is part of the process. It’s easy to question your efforts, but remember: every scratch, every attempt, and every moment of faith builds toward the breakthrough.

The Divine doesn’t operate on shortcuts. Anything gained too easily is often let go just as easily. Greatness is hatched through persistence, not convenience. The struggle refines you, hardens your resolve, and develops the tools you need to crack through to the next dimension.

Keep Pipping: Trust the Process

The eggshell is both a protection and a limitation. Initially, it shields you, creating the environment for growth. But as you evolve, it becomes a boundary you must break. The eagle’s eaglet doesn’t know the outside world awaits; all it knows is the increasing discomfort inside. Yet it keeps pipping—striking the shell with its egg tooth.

You might feel like your efforts are futile, like you’re barely scratching the surface. But every dent, every “pip,” weakens the shell that separates you from your next level. The Divine is the God of process, and this process is deliberate. The walls you’re pushing against will give way—just not all at once.

Frustration Is Part of Growth

When the space inside becomes too small for what you’ve become, frustration arises. It’s natural. It signals that you’re ready for more, that the time for a breakthrough is near. Yet, the process requires patience. The eaglet doesn’t burst out of the egg in one swift motion; it persists, even when progress is slow and exhausting.

Life’s obstacles may feel overwhelming, but they serve a purpose. Even the harshest critics or toughest challenges are shaping you. They harden your “egg tooth,” the very tool you’ll use to break free. Every “no,” every setback, and every ounce of resistance is part of the design, propelling you toward your destiny.

Embrace Change: Leave the Old Behind

Breaking free means leaving the shell behind. The environment that once nurtured you will no longer serve you. Holding on too long to what is familiar—old mindsets, relationships, or circumstances—can stifle your growth. The eaglet cannot stay in the shell and expect to soar. Similarly, you must be willing to say goodbye to what no longer aligns with your purpose.

The Divine’s process often feels uncertain. You might not see the nest waiting for you or understand what’s next, but the path requires trust. The food in the egg runs out not as a punishment but as a signal—it’s time to move. What sustained you in one season won’t sustain you in the next.

The Divine Timing of Breakthrough

Sometimes, the wait feels endless, and the temptation to quit grows stronger. But don’t give up. Just as the eagle must trust the process of its eggs hatching, you must trust the Divine timing of your breakthrough. Even when there’s no movement, the heat of your persistence is incubating greatness.

The worst thing you can do is stop pipping. Keep at it. Keep praying, planning, and pushing. Every action, no matter how small, is weakening the barriers holding you back. The wall may not crack yet, but it will. The Divine doesn’t promise instant results, but the promise of fulfillment is unshakable.

What Awaits Is Greater Than What You Leave Behind

Your struggles, frustrations, and efforts are not in vain. They’re preparing you for something greater than you can imagine. The manna that sustained you before might stop, but that’s because it’s time for you to step into a new phase. The Divine is ready to provide for you in new ways, but you must be willing to step out of the shell and into the unknown.

Remember, greatness is not just about what you achieve but who you become in the process. The struggles are molding you into someone capable of handling the next level. What you’re going to is always greater than what you came from.

So, keep pipping. Trust the Divine process. Breakthrough is near, and when it comes, the world will see the greatness that was always inside you.
