undoubtedly affect the outcome of the harvest .
Embracing that timing is everything allows us to make the right move at the right time , ensuring predictable success . Our foresight to see beyond today and seize the given moment can turn every setback into the turning point of a glorious comeback . Nyah continued by saying , “ 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 .”
She taught me to pay attention to the people who come and go in our life . Our mindfulness will reveal that they are there for a reason .
Known among her friends and colleagues as a people person , my Spiritual Progressive Mom , Elsa Mae , also has an insightful take on the various seasons we go through in our lives . She taught me to pay attention to the people who come and go in our life . Our mindfulness will reveal that 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 a few for a lifetime .
For the people who come for a short stay , it is usually to meet our current immediate needs . 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 .
Next are the people who come into our lives for a season . Spending time with them brings fun and thrilling experiences of joy , peace , and laughter into our lives . Although their presence engages and exposes us to something new and different , these sharing , growth , and learning moments are only for a season .
Then , there are people who come into our lives to teach us lifelong lessons . When we embrace these unique relationships and their infinite wisdom , we enrich ourselves in all areas of our lives . The lessons learned enable us to build solid foundations for our physical , emotional , and spiritual well-being , which lasts a lifetime .
Elsa Mae concluded by saying , “ Like the plants and vegetation around us , 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 ! Treasure the people and circumstances that have contributed to your happiness and success , and let go of the rest !”
Over the years , as I reflect upon the various seasons of my life , I have learned so much thanks to my moms , Nyah and Elsa Mae . They taught me to look at situations , events , and people through the lens of mindfulness . I have learned that :
• Wisdom is about knowing Others , while Enlightenment is about knowing Ourselves .
• Love leads to Selflessness , and Fear leads to Anger .
• In any contentious situation , it is not about Anger but rather about Peace .
• Respect is not a result of the show of Power but from the display of Grace .
• Success is not about knowing your Competition ; it is about knowing Yourself .
• Delay is not denial ; it is a chance for refinement .
May your autumn be filled with beautiful introspections !
With Gratitude and Blessings Always ! Johnny
