Life is not static; it is always in motion. You are in motion; therefore, you need to keep moving, keep developing so you will continue to upgrade to become the best version of yourself.

The term life cycle is one that engineering has borrowed from the natural sciences, it is used to describe both the changes a single organism goes through over its life and how the lives of multiple organisms interact to sustain or evolve a population. We use it in engineering in the same ways to describe the complete life of an instance of a system-of-interest (SoI); and the managed combination of multiple such instances to provide capabilities which deliver stakeholder satisfaction. A life cycle model identifies the major stages that a specific SoI goes through, from its inception to its retirement. Life cycle models are generally implemented in development projects and are strongly aligned with management planning and decision making.— Wikipedia (sebokwiki.org/wiki/Introduction_to_Life_Cycle_Processes 03.02.2019)

Every individual goes through a family life cycle. The emotional and intellectual stages you pass through from childhood to your retirement years as a member of a family are called the family life cycle. In each stage, you face challenges in your family life that allow you to build or gain new skills. Gaining these skills helps you work through the changes that nearly every family goes through. Not everyone passes through these stages smoothly. Situations such as severe illness, financial problems, or the death of a loved one can influence how well you pass through the stages. Fortunately, if you miss skills in one stage, you can learn them in later stages. Nothing is lost if you value the inevitability of change.

The stages of the family life cycle are:

  • Independence.
  • Coupling or marriage.
  • Parenting: babies through adolescents.
  • Launching adult children.
  • Retirement or senior years.

Mastering the skills and milestones of each stage allows you to successfully move from one stage of development to the next. If you don’t master the skills, you may still move on to the next phase of the cycle, but you are more likely to have difficulty with relationships and future transitions. Family life cycle theory suggests that successful transitioning may also help to prevent disease and emotional or stress-related disorders. Whether you are a parent or child, brother or sister, bonded by blood or love, your experiences through the family life cycle will affect who you are and who you become. The more you understand about the challenges of each stage of the cycle, the more likely you are to successfully move on. —PeaceHealth peacehealth.org/medical-topics/id/ty6171(03.02.2019)

There is an interesting theory about a link between lack of crawling and attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder. It all has to do with a reflex we are born with called the "symmetric tonic neck reflex" (STNR). This reflex helps us operate our upper and lower body independently. Usually this reflex is inhibited, or matures, between nine and twelve months. When a child gains independent control of his or her neck, arms and legs, the STNR is matured. This can be achieved through alternate hands and knees crawling for at least six months. When this reflex does not integrate, some of the symptoms are:

  • Tendency to slump when sitting at a desk
  • Difficulty keeping bottom in seat and feet on the floor when sitting at a desk
  • Poor eye-hand coordination
  • Slowness at copying tasks
  • Difficulty copying from a blackboard while at a desk
  • Difficulty with vertical tracking (important for math equations)
  • Poor attention
  • Clumsiness

Above all, make it fun! Not all children who do not crawl or only crawl for a short amount of time are going to have difficulties with learning and integrating their reflexes. However, based on all the benefits that hands-and-knees crawling provide, it makes sense to encourage it.— Heather Haring, OTR/L. MedCentral Pediatric Therapy (medcentral.org/Main/Whatssoimportantaboutcrawling.aspx) 03.02.2019

Here you can see the medical benefits of a process of crawling to walking in the infant. Have you imagined if you were born as a full-grown adult? Is that even possible? Is that not going to be crazy? Some people are crazy in a sense they don’t want to go through any process in life. Recently I have one of my mentees complained about a process he just started; he wants the next stage. I explained to him that he was still a baby in the process. He needs to feed on breast milk until he is mature for semi-solid and then solid. He cannot start running when he is still crawling. He must follow the process and get mature otherwise things won’t work for him in the end.

You are not born an adult. You grew in your mother's womb from a zygote to an infant. Born as an infant, you grew into a toddler, a teenager, and an adult. You went through different stages in life. These stages are called a life cycle. A life cycle is the developmental stages that occur during an organism’s lifetime. If you are alive, you are going through a cycle. To benefit from the cycle, you need to be aware of the process. Your cycle and mine are not the same. My purpose in life is not the same as yours. My dreams, ambition, focus, and goals are not the same as yours.

For this reason, I refused to compare my achievement with yours. I have a life cycle process that is designed just for me. To become what I aspire to be, I must go through my never-ending life cycle. I am in my orbit, designed and created for me.

You must stop comparing yourself with others. You are not competing. Your life process cycle is not the same with theirs. Understanding your life process cycle will give you the confidence to continue your development. Self-comparison is dangerous. It is not wrong to be inspired by the achievement of others. It is not the same as comparing your progress with theirs. The reason life is fantastic is we all bring our differences. You’re a loser if you base your worth on the comparison. Know that you can never be better than everyone no matter how good you are.

Your situation is not the same with anyone else. You need to keep focus with your unique condition. Accept the choices you have. They are not there by accident. Most often the universe brings opportunities based on your case through the law of attraction. You often miss these opportunities because you are wasting your time comparing yourself. People often concentrate on what they’re not good at, and they spend their time wishing they could be better. Instead, recognise your limitations, but don’t allow them to limit you. Understand them and then defy them. Sometimes the best way to excel is to set your own rules.

Comparisons don’t leave room for the things that make you unique. Embrace your uniqueness. There is none like you. It is true. Your voice print, your fingerprint, your DNA, etc. is unique. You are the original of you so why would you want to be a photocopy of someone else? Focus on what you can change. Keep working towards your goals. Understand that you are very special and valuable.

    It begins as a fever, similar to a bad cold or flu.
    A headache soon emerges within a day or two, alongside agonising pains in the hands and
    feet. 

    Within 24-hours, you might notice the pain spread up the
    arm, which soon turns numb.

    This is the disturbing series of symptoms suffered by victims of the debilitating 'sloth fever' virus
    that has been reported in 19 people in Europe over the
    past two months, according to the European Center for Disease
    Control (ECDC).

    Experts have raised the alarm about the potentially deadly disease — which originated in sloths — warning
    the spread could become 'unstoppable' due to the absence of vaccines.


    MailOnline can now reveal three disturbing cases of the infection,
    which is spread by insect bites, in three Italian patients,
    as documented by the doctors who treated them. 




    There is no vaccine for the disease which originates
    in pale-throated sloths, non-human primates and birds

    Five cases have so far been reported in Italy, as well as two in Germany and 12 in Spain. 

    Outside of Europe, 8000 cases have been documented worldwide since January, mostly in South and Central America where the virus is more common. 

    While experts say the virus is unlikely to 'take hold' in nations with cooler climates like Britain, it could become a
    problem for those travelling abroad.

    'Climate change means infected insects have been detected as
    far as the South of France, where a lot of British people go on holiday,
    ' says Dr Danny Altmann, a professor of Immunology at Imperial
    College. 

    'Quite simply, people go abroad, pick up the virus and bring it back.  

    'The virus is concerning for people living in the US as infected
    mosquitos have now reached the San Francisco region, and could spread further.'

    The first European case was detailed by doctors at the Sacro Cuore hospital in Calabria, Southern Italy.  

    The patient, a 45 year-old man, had recently travelled to the tropical Caribbean region —
    close to the South American nations from which the majority of cases have emerged.

    This includes Brazil, Bolivia, Peru, Columbia and Cuba. 

    The man suffered flu-like symptoms, including high fever, headache, muscle and joint pain, the Italian medics reported. 

    After other tests were performed to rule out underlying conditions, doctors tested for the 'sloth
    virus', known medically as Oropouche, using specialist blood tests.

    The patient is said to be under close medical monitoring,
    but his condition is 'stable'.

    Another case involved a 'traveller' in their mid-twenties who had recently returned from a two week trip to Cuba
    — the doctors did not specify the patient's gender.


    During the flight back home to Italy, the patient developed high fever as well
    as 'intense headache, nausea and diarrhoea'. 

    The following day, the patient began experiencing intensive pain behind the eyes, as well as severe stiffness in the joints. 

    The patient was tested for other, similar viruses including Dengue and Zika,
    with results reading negative. Blood tests for Oropouche were positive, and the patient is currently
    being monitored. 

    A third patient, in their mid-fifties, had a history of high blood pressure, asthma and
    obesity and travelled to Cuba in May.

    Two days after returning in early June, the patient developed a fever as
    well as pain behind the eyes and nausea. 

    WHAT IS THE 'SLOTH FEVER' VIRUS?

    The so-called 'sloth fever' is in fact a virus known as Oropouche. 

    It comes from the same family of diseases as Zika and Dengue, and is mostly seen in tropical, Amazonian climates.


    The illness originated in sloths, birds and other animals but has since spread to humans via bites from infected midges
    and mosquitos. 

    There has never been a report of the virus spreading from person to person.

    The most common symptoms of the virus include headache, fever,
    joint pains, nausea and lethargy. However doctors
    have reported that four per cent of patients suffer inflammation around
    the spinal cord and/or the brain. 

    Officials say the vast majority of cases are mild, with symptoms
    resolving in a matter of weeks. 

    However,  two deaths have been reported in women with the virus who had no underlying conditions.


    Experts are currently investigating whether the germ may cause poor outcomes in pregnancy, similar to those associated with Zika virus.

    The symptoms had become so severe within three days that they visited the emergency room
    at the hospital of Forlì in Italy's northern Emilia-Romagna
    region.

    When doctors examined the patient, they noticed the left
    arm was slightly numb and round, red spots had appeared
    on the surface of the skin.

    After tests for other viruses produced negative results,
    blood samples tested positive for Oropouche.

    The doctors noted no damage to the internal organs and the
    abating of all symptoms apart from numbness in the arm
    within two weeks. 

    The medics observed that the virus has an incubation period of three to 10 days — after which symptoms
    appear. They add that the fever is typically 'acute' for between two to
    four days before they vanish and then reappear seven to
    10 days later.   

    In severe cases, illness can result in meningitis, according to the NHS Travax website.


    Although potentially deadly, the ECDC said fatal outcomes are extremely rare and recovery from the disease is common, usually within a week.


    According to a report in the Lancet, on July 25 two deaths caused by Oropouche were
    reported for the first time in Brazil in two young women who had
    no other underlying health conditions.

    The European authority is advising those travelling to affected areas, such as Brazil, Cuba, Peru
    and Columbia, to wear insect repellent and long-sleeved shirts and long trousers
    to reduce the risk of bites.

    The strain behind the recent outbreak was first spotted in the tiny village of Oropouche,
    in Trinidad and Tobago, back in 1955.

    Five years later, during the construction of the Belem-Brasilia highway, a sloth was found to be carrying Oropouche.


    Within a year people in the area became ill with the virus
    and since there have been around 30 outbreaks, all centred
    in the Amazon basin.

    The virus spreads in the jungle between sloths, birds and primates via infected midges and mosquitos. 

    It is thought that these insects circulate in urban settings, where they can also infect humans. 

    The increase in human cases is thought to be due to a number of factors including deforestation,
    which displaces animals such as sloths, as well as soaring temperatures that mean midges are flying further afield.
