Only last year, winter came on strong. Everything froze, the air was crisp and the cold was unbearable. But today it seems the winter’s time to leave is almost up and leaving slowly, warmth is on her way back. Soon it will feel as if winter never occurred. Before winter, there were autumn, when trees dropped their leaves in preparation for the cold yet to come. Each season had its moment and its purpose, then was gone.
Life, I’ve concluded, operates in the same manner, always changing, going from phase to phase. I experienced some painful moments as a child that seemed like they would never end. There were my toughest moments, times I believed it would always be difficult. Now, though, looking back, those tough times came and went like the season. The sorrow that I thought would never leave me eventually went, just like the chill of winter passes into spring.
There is one lesson thag life teach us, that is nothing lasts forever either good or bad. Seasons come, and seasons go. A lot of us are in circumstance in which we feel restricted. You may be in a stage where you can’t do certain things due to some circumstances beyond your control. But remember that just as nature transitions from winter to spring and then to summer, we, too, move through different stages of life.
As time goes by, we progress, learn, and master things that we suffered through. And the fear we once had, we conquer to be better in life. The skills we don’t possess, we eventually learn. Every strength that we didnt know, we gradually forge. That is why we should be mindful of how we treat other people, especially those who are in their “winter season.” The fact that someone is struggling today does not mean that they will always be in that place.
Just because someone isn’t as skilled or successful, or as strong at a given point in time doesn’t mean they won’t improve over time. Seasons change. The one who looks fragile today would be the strongest competitor tomorrow. The one who appears behind now may be ahead later on. Instead of being condescending to others in the season they’re in, why not uplift them? Why not remind them it’s a phase and eventually things will get better? None of us remain in the same location indefinitely. Things have a way of changing, giving us refreshing opportunities, new strength and new growth.
In the end, seasons remind us that nothing in life is permanent. Pain fades. Struggles don’t last. So if you are in a difficult season, hang in there, it’s not permanent. And if you find yourself in a season of plenty, be grateful and try not to forget those who remain in their winter. Life is ever-changing and what’s most important is how we navigate through our seasons with wisdom, grace, and patience.
Sage words.
I recently heard this statement and thought it to be poignant. 'If you are going through, hell, keep going!' Made me think a little and realize it would be foolish to stop and choose hell as your destination. The seasons bring us wisdom that reveals patterns intelligence might not detect.
It's true. Life is just like a weather season. We need to adapt the changes in our life, the challenges, the problems just like how we adapt to the weather season. There's a season that sunny, rainy, winter and autumn. And same as our life there's a happy, sad, and challenging season. Wishing you have a good day.
Your reflection on the ebb and flow of life's seasons is both insightful and uplifting! Just like the winter that eventually gives way to spring, our toughest moments pave the way for growth and renewal. Your reminder to support others in their "winter seasons" is a gentle nudge to be kind and patient. Here's to embracing every season with grace and looking forward to the warmth ahead! 🌱🌞
