Insights on Life

                Have you experienced waking up each day and getting excited or worried of what season of life you are about to face? Will you be prepared if it is a winter day when problems and sufferings come your way? Will you be ready to take full advantage of the opportunities that arise on a spring day? Will you be able to protect what you have achieved in times of joy and comfort in a summer’s day? Will you take responsibility of your previous success or mistakes in an autumn day? Well, we can never choose only one season to deal with. Each season is very much a part of our existence. The four seasons are crucial realities in our lives and it all depends on us on how to handle it carefully, creatively, constructively and effectively.

               

               We are called to be aware and to understand each season in our lives to survive every challenge that it brings us. If winter comes, we will not keep on complaining. Instead, we have stronger capability and faith to overcome it. If spring comes, we will not have regrets because we are guided to decide critically on what opportunity to take or to let go. If summer comes, our hearts will be filled with gratitude without wasting everything that we have worked hard for. If autumn comes, we can open ourselves to learn the lessons that the previous seasons taught us and put everything into perspective.

               

               In just a few hours or days, new seasons will come and gone and will take its purpose in our lives. Indeed, nothing in this word is permanent. It is very important that we enjoy each season and take seriously the teachings it gives us.
