Our Journey through The Seasons of Life

 

I have been one who believes everyone has a purpose. As We go through each season of life, we may be faced with having to find a new purpose or refurbished the purpose we once had.  

 

Springtime (conception and birth through adolescence), summer (young adulthood). Autumn (middle age), and winter (Old age). And with each season we build on what our purpose will be.

 

We made it through the awkward springtime with many new beginnings. It is in the summertime when our lives really start to develop, building our life path, and we begin to understand what direction our purpose will go.

 

Once we move into the summer, we have settled into our purpose, starting what I like to refer to as the invincible me phase.

Summer is full of major life events graduating from college, starting our careers, starting a family living in the moment.

 

Autum is the period we are building up for retirement relishing in the accomplishment of managing through our career and entering the phase and joy of being able to slow down and enjoy life without the hustle and bustle of the commute to work and long hours to meet deadlines or cover for that one person who calls off more times than they work.

 

Winter season is a time when we reflect on our journey where we are self-conscious and aware of and accept the nature of life’s seasons. For some this season can often be a challenge, we may struggle with understanding our purpose at this stage and long for the past.
