Hello!
I hope everyone is well..alive and kicking! Busy times hence the long break! Apologies. In today’s blogpost, I would like to focus on ‘seasons’ in life and its many aspects.
I am sure that when we all look back in life, there were moments or times which were far better than where we are now or probably worse off compared to where we are now…but the most important thing is irrespective of how good or bad that time was you learned something out of it.
I have always said that because I have tasted being broke (like really broke especially when I needed the money) and also having money (in abundance) hence I am non chalant if anytime in the future I might be broke or whatsoever and have to find a way to survive.
There has also been a season where I had certain people in my life but currently I do not and life is still going on. There have been times where I have been extremely happy and there have been times when I have been sad. This reiterates Ecclesiastes when he says ‘there is a time and season for everything under the sun’. The problem with this is that sometimes we cannot get over or come to terms with the fact that a particular season has ended and as such we need to let go..however it is not easy..it is easier said…
One thing I have realised in life is that there are some situations that no matter how difficult or painful it is you just need to learn how to handle it, deal with it and move on as though nothing happened. The truth is whether you let it go or not, the clock is still ticking, time is going and not waiting for you, so in the end, it is really up to you.
The season of plenty, good health, blossoming career, healthy relationships etc is all nice…I mean in the end, who does not like to taste good things or want positive vibes…but the bitter truth is your whole life time will be a mixture of the good and the bad seasons and unfortunately you cant pick and choose when what should happen. You just have to be prepared to face what happens when and then learn from it for the next season (good or bad).
And one last thing imagine you are in a bad season in life and everyone or most people within your circle have a good job, receiving great salaries with benefits, doing businesses, some getting married, having babies etc..then you are there; no job, frustrated, broke, depressed, unsuccessful relationships among others and you wonder what is going on…especially when you go on social media platforms and the everybody seems to be excelling. I know how that feels because I am also in a season where I feel unfulfilled to a large extent because I believe I should be getting more out of life than where I currently am (not because I am comparing myself to anybody but because I know the investments that I continually make in my personal development and careerwise) but then as hard as it seems I have learned to appreciate seasons like this, do what I have to do and then continually prepare myself for ‘that which I have been praying/hoping for’ which I know will manifest very soon!
Thus, to whoever may be reading this, life is HARD but it is sprinkled with some nice moments as well even if the bad seasons seem long and never unending..have so much belief in YOU, that tough times dont last! E go better!
