The seasons of life

Just like nature, we go through different seasons in our lives too. We may look at others and compare ourselves with them, wondering if there's something lacking in us, when the truth is, you are just in a different season from them and when it's time for you to enter the same season, you may have your own triumphant moments too.

There are 6 seasons in total:

1) The season of growth

In this season, you are staying still in your life and experiencing great changes. The divine is working on you so that you can rise in life and enjoy an elevated view on things. This is not the time to be making major decisions because you will soon feel and think very differently and what used to be a problem may cease to feel like a problem anymore.

2) The season of endurance

In this season, you are faced with many difficult challenges and your prayers seem to go unanswered. This is because you are meant to endure trials in order to learn certain soul lessons. The key is to surrender and bravely face your obstacles, while constantly asking yourself, "what can i learn from this", so that you go from being a victim to becoming a conqueror.

3) The season of embracing

In this season, you are confused about things around you cos it's just not making sense and it's causing you to feel anxiety and uncertainty. The reason for this is for you to practice equanimity so that you can accept everything in your life, both the light and the shadows and allow it all to merge into a peaceful flow of calmness and all encompassing stillness.

4) The season of metamorphosis

In this season, it looks like nothing is happening despite your efforts and struggle to move things forward. However, invisible forces are working under the surface and you are actually being prepared to transform from deep within. The best thing to do is to meditate and pray regularly so that the inner work can progress more swiftly and before you know it, you have already transformed from a caterpillar to a butterfly.

5) The season of harvest

You have made it! All the fruits of your labour are ripened and ready to be enjoyed. It might be external, such as a job promotion or a breakthrough in your income. But it might also be internal such as letting go of your triggers so that you respond to stressful situations with newfound peace and confidence. You have worked hard to becoming a better you and it's finally manifesting into reality, congrats!

6) The season of service

What happens when you have made it up the mountain? You may celebrate and enjoy the view for a while but then, what's next? You may decide to go back down the mountain and help other travellers make their way up. You know the way, you have experienced the rough times, and you are motivated by the thought of more people reaching the peak of the mountain to be amazed by the view just like you. So you become a guide and while it's easier to just relax at the top of the mountain, you think it's worthwhile helping others climb the mountain so you can enjoy the view together with them.

Can you guess which season you are in right now?
