Everything Has Its Season

… and then that season is gone.

The seasons of our lives come and go – and that is a good thing.

People come into our lives and then leave. Jobs come into our lives and then leave. Opportunities come into our lives and then leave. Nothing is meant to stay in your life forever. Nothing.

As the seasons change, so do our lives. It is a natural process in our soul’s evolution. You cannot hold onto a season of your life when it is ready to leave your hands. Just like the trees cannot hold onto their late autumn leaves when it is time for them to wither and fall off. When one phase of your life is complete, it is time to enter a new phase and so those old leaves are replaced with new growth in the springtime. It doesn’t behoove you to hold onto the dying leaves, those leaves will not take you into the next season of your life. Those leaves represent an ending and holding onto endings will always leave you feeling stuck, stagnant and as if you are being held back in your life.

Give up those old leaves and give them over to the new growth in your life. Don’t let fear keep you back from completing a cycle in your life. The seasons of our lives are natural cycles that are meant to keep us moving forward in our experiences and our life lessons. Any attempt to fight the natural seasons of our lives will only cause pain and frustration.

Trust the seasons of your life to give you the closure you need to move into a new cycle for yourself. You can’t fight the seasons. They will come whether you or ready for them or not. Learn to trust the seasons of your life to bring you to exactly the next experience you need in your own evolution. After all, nothing is meant to stay the same. Everything is meant to change and you are meant to easily adapt to each new season of your life. After all, your future is ahead of you, never behind you.

If it Doesn’t Challenge You

… it doesn’t change you.

Challenges make you stronger.

Life is hard. It just is. It was never meant to be easy.

We do not learn by living an easy life. We only learn by living through challenging experiences. Those challenging experiences make you a better person. If you can rise to the challenge and transform the pain or fear, it brings you to a far better place.

We have all heard that challenges make you stronger but how exactly? They make you wiser, more alert, more strategic, more willing to take risks, more self-assured, more patient, more confident in your own abilities, more optimistic, more empowered (less of a victim) and more mindful in your approach to life.

You are NEVER a victim. Challenges don’t happen to you to punish you or keep you back in life. They happen to test your resolve and see how strong and conscious you have become on your path. Every time you overcome a perceived challenge, you earn another level of conscious evolution. And on the flip side, every time you allow yourself to fall down and feel sorry for yourself, you take a step back.

Life is always about moving forward and doing whatever you need to do to keep moving forward. Challenges are not roadblocks, they are opportunities to test ourselves to see if we are still growing in the direction we want to be moving or if we have decided to stop growing all together. Victims stop living. Masters create lifetimes of great richness and beauty. The mind is the only difference between the two.

Take control of your life and change your perception the next time you hit a challenge. Don’t let a closed door be an obstacle. Learn to find the key and open the door yourself so you can keep moving forward and create the life you truly deserve.
