Timing is everything . If we make the right move at the right time , we will be ensured the predictable successes that follow because of our foresight to see beyond today . Seizing this given moment can make every setback into the turning point of a glorious comeback .
When we pay attention to the little voices within us and rise to move at the right time , and when each task becomes a labor of love performed with much creativity , then we are seizing the opportunity to propel ourselves to the next level of excellence .
My Spiritual Progressive , Elsa Mae , also has an insightful take on the various seasons of our lives . She once told me if we pay attention to the people that come and go in our lives , we will find they are there for a reason . Some people are in our lives for just a short stay . Then there are others for a season and the rest for a lifetime .
For the people who come for just a short stay , it usually meets our current immediate need . They came to provide support , fellowship , and guidance to assist us in overcoming our present life ’ s challenges and crises .
Having our prayers answered , we see their arrival as a Godsend . However , their stay is short . When our needs have been met and fulfilled , and their presence is no longer needed , their departure is as sudden as their appearance in our lives . We should be thankful for this brief encounter and be ready to move on as well .
The time we spend with the people who come for a season engages and exposes us to something new and different . Although their presence brings fun and thrilling experiences of joy , peace , and laughter into our lives , these sharing , growth , and learning moments are only for a season .
Then , some people come into our lives to teach us lifelong lessons . When we embrace these unique relationships and the infinite wisdom they offer , we can better ourselves in all areas of our lives . The lessons learned will enable us to build solid foundations for our physical , emotional , and spiritual well-being , which lasts a lifetime .
In a Nutshell — Autumn is a season of reflection and mindfulness . Treasure the people and circumstances that have contributed to your happiness and success , and let go of the rest !
Remind yourself , like the plants and vegetations around you , some are annuals , and some are perennials . Cherish the beautiful memories of the annuals , but celebrate the hardy perennials , for they are the beauty that withstands the test of time and seasons !
