Seasons. . .
Spring, summer, autumn, and winter are the four seasons nature that the world experiences, and we, as humans, experience the same four seasons. Unfortunately, many of us overlook the seasons we experience at each stage of their lives until we discover we have missed the beautiful changes of our times.
When you consider the environment, you’ll observe that its features cycle through stages and transitions in a sophisticated way. Seasons come and go with the inevitable transformations that our world undergoes, and nothing remains the same for very long. Even if it’s just for a short time, you know things will return to normal when that unexpectedly cool day in July occurs. This corresponds to the four seasons of life, each of which is associated with distinct psychological and physical states of being. Our situations, needs, thoughts, and behaviors must evolve as we move from one season to the next, just as the seasons do in the environment. Accepting and evolving with these life cycles allows us to glide through our time on this planet with ease, knowing that our circumstances are always fleeting. Instead of rejecting these natural transitions, which can lead to psychological turmoil and a loss of enjoyment and fulfillment in life, I think this perspective allows us to make the best possible use of what we have.
Each stage of life teaches us something new about ourselves, others, and life in general. They assist us in undergoing psychological, bodily, and societal transformations. In the face of adversity, they strengthen our souls, increase our resilience, and excite our spirits. We rejoice when we achieve and lament when we fail, but eventually, we begin to think about who we are, what we want out of life, and how we want to proceed from here on out. Seasons of life develop our personalities and lay the groundwork for the lives we will lead in the future. They mostly assist us in our evolution as people.
Spring – You’re in the spring of your life from birth to your mid-twenties, when you’re being nurtured by education and formative experiences. This is the season of learning and growth when you should concentrate on yourself and figure out who you are as a person and what you want out of life. It’s okay to be a bit self-centered and explore because things are new, fresh and growing. We begin to evaluate who we are, where we come from, what we desire, and how we want to move forward during the spring season. This season begins to mold our personalities and establish the foundation for the lives we will lead. The arrival of spring heralds the start of a new chapter in our lives.
Summer – Summer is a season for rewards, celebration, and meaning in your life. This is the time when you’re starting your career, getting married, and establishing a family, as well as setting and attaining goals and objectives while living life to the fullest. Go all out in the summer. Produce, innovate, and create. This is the time to start building your legacy. What kind of person are you going to be? Who are you trying to please? What will you leave in your wake?
Autumn – Autumn is a season of survival, problem-solving, and making up for past mistakes. It encapsulates the instances throughout your life when you were unable to maintain the necessary pace to attain your objectives. It’s also a chance to reap the rewards of your hard work and position yourself to finish strong with whatever you’ve begun in life. This is the time for you to serve as a mentor to individuals who are still in the early stages of their careers, teaching them from your failures and accomplishments. Autumn is a time to be receptive to changes in your family, health, life, and society that are unavoidable. As your family grows, you begin to prioritize other people’s needs in the summer, and this becomes an even more significant and key component in the fall. You’re still responsible for your children, preparing them for success and guiding them as they grow into adults–but you may also be responsible for aging parents or other ailing family members.
Winter – Winter is where nature asserts its truth: A season of dormancy is absolutely necessary for the growth and fruitfulness of of all living things. Whether that season is laden with snow or barren of rain, the effect is the same, and a forced rest will happen before any fruit is born. I think we humans have a thing or two to learn from the rhythms and cycles of nature (which, we are also a part of). You are here. You are with the cycles and flows. You are building resilience and energy through the waiting, the silence, the uncertainty. Winter is not a season of death and decay but one of rest and rejuvenation.
So ride with and upon the seasons of change. Receive the seasons and their changes of energy, of stillness, of growth, and remember that life most beautiful constant is the art of change.
Peace and Love, Jim
