Life is the most precious resource we all hold and share equally. It can be explained and deciphered in many definitions and theories. The complexity and likewise the beauty of it, is in that, no one definition of it is superior to any other’s, because life I feel is simply unique to it’s rightful holder. Here I write about what we go through in life in my most simple perspective and life taught opinion and it stems from the 4 seasons we have in a year. Please allow me to elaborate.
Autumn:
This season sees you shed, this is a season of loss, things begin to change for the seemingly worst. Don’t despair for you should allow it, somethings are meant to be lost, to create presence for the new and better, as nothing lasts forever. This season is ominous of a darker time to come, it’s the prologue to harder days and darker nights. Autumn sees you shift away from a great time and enter a woeful period, it’s transitional and not in the most positive of ways, this needs you to rely on your roots, your resources and stand fast as winds begin to blow and leaves begin to wilt and fall off.
Winter:
During your winter, all that you were losing during autumn has fully left you, you are baron, going through an arid time where it feels like there is no growth that could come from this time. A time of darkness, and gloom. You feel shunned, cold and mostly alone. The key to surviving this period is for you to work from the inside (from within your inner strengths) and from the bottom up. This period should see you become hopeful for a better tomorrow, where you are not defeated and exercise your faith. It should be a period of open hands, where you soak up all the little you receive and work towards coming out of the darkness. This is the most critical of seasons, it’s the harshest and the one where we learn and are shaped into what we will become, the most hard work needs to happen here that when the rain of spring begins, you’ve laid down and planted your seeds for them to germinate.
Spring:
During spring, the sun begins to appear in the horizon, things begin to take shape and sprout from the desolate grounds of winter, but because you have worked and learned from the hard conditions of winter spring is much easier to handle. All it needs is your consistency and activity in whatever it is that you had planted, this period needs you to be hands on as much as things are growing and looking better, it is essential that you don’t sit back and bask in the little light that you see as it is not enough. You are not there yet! You have to water your plant of growing success consistently, although there is rain.
Summer:
This is a season of reaping reward, a season where you enjoy the fruit of your labour. This is a season where you flourish, your hard work is paying off or things in your life just seem to work out. You are happy. There is pleasure and joy. This is a season of excellence, light and prosperity. We need to take this season for what it is and embrace it, not deprive ourselves of it. It is paramount that we do not let others take this time away from us, or let circumstance block the rays of light that would be present during this season, endeavor by all means to prolong it and stay in this season because it does not rain forever nor does the sun shine forever. Summer is to be enjoyed but with the caution of preparing for seasons to come.
Essentially life has no formula, situations do not work on a time frame that is constant and most significantly these seasons don’t work in any specific order. Life is not similar to the stock exchange where it can be predicted by pattern, it has no guarantee of tomorrow even, nevertheless the beauty of it comes from finally embracing it. Taking charge, living it everyday in a way that fulfills YOU and those dear to you. A way that gives order In the balance of energy, giving and receiving. Being able to give and take love amongst other things. Find the balance of spirituality and intrinsic worth. Find your purpose and the greater of everything will make its way out as we do not have control of life but we have control of ourselves during life.
