The Four Seasons of Life

It is important to understand that there are seasons in our life and that each of these seasons are helpful to us.

Winter
Winter is the season where we experience challenges and difficulties in our life. It can feel like a cold and lonely time. Our life may appear bleak. We may be dealing with storms in our life which creates fear and anxiety for us. However, we need periods of winter in our lives. These winter times provide us with important learning and understanding. It is through the challenges and difficulties in life that we learn our most valuable lessons. Winter also helps us to appreciate and be grateful for what we have. Without periods of winter in our lives we can take for granted all of the goodness that we experience.
Autumn
Autumn is the season of our life where change occurs and we need to let go of the old. During this period of our life we recognise and feel the need for change in our lives. In order for us to change we need to let go of things like the leaves falling from a tree. We may for example need to let go of:
• the past;
• negative thoughts;
• negative emotions;
• limiting beliefs; and
• lack of forgiveness.
Failure to let go causes us to remain stuck in our lives and hinders positive change.
Spring
Spring is the season in our life of new growth. It is the period of our lives where we clear out the old to make way for the new. It is a time where we create new beginnings for ourselves and our lives.
SummerSummer is the season of our life to enjoy ourselves. It is a time of play. During this period we feel bright and happy. We are loving life and reaping the rewards for the positive changes that we have made.

Remember, as the seasons are important for the cycle of nature, likewise they are important in our own life cycle. We will experience all of these seasons during certain stages of our life.
So if you are going through a period of winter at the moment don’t worry or stress. Spring, summer, and autumn are just around the corner.

Sayings and Quotes

  Seasons may come and seasons may go but the liking for each season is different and brings back memories that are hard to resist. When we feel the heat of summer we yearn to see the spring; but in the biting cold of winter, we think summer is far better. Spring season has its own glory and is the favorite of the poets and writers. Henry David Thoreau philosophically says, “Live each season as it passes, breathe the air, drink the drink, taste the fruit and resign yourself to the influences of each “. Man cannot make season or change them but can only enjoy the best of each season. To quote William Shakespeare “the spring, the summer, the chilling autumn, angry winter changes their wonted liveries”. The proverb that says when winter has passed can the spring be far behind “conveys the encouraging aspect of those who have faced miserable situations in life. Here is the collection of quotes on seasons read them and enjoy.

A Time for Everything

 There is a time for everything,
    and a season for every activity under the heavens:

     a time to be born and a time to die,
    a time to plant and a time to uproot, 

     a time to kill and a time to heal,
    a time to tear down and a time to build, 

     a time to weep and a time to laugh,
    a time to mourn and a time to dance, 

     a time to scatter stones and a time to gather them,
    a time to embrace and a time to refrain from embracing, 

     a time to search and a time to give up,
    a time to keep and a time to throw away, 

     a time to tear and a time to mend,
    a time to be silent and a time to speak, 

     a time to love and a time to hate,
    a time for war and a time for peace. 

(Ecclesiastes 3: 1-8)

“The day the Lord created hope was probably the same day he created Spring.”

 

“The seasons are the emotions of time.”
