The secret of mastering the seasons of your life

“Therefore every tree which does not bear good fruit is cut down and thrown into fire, —For to everyone who has, more will be given, and he will have abundance; but from him who does not have, even what he has will be taken away” Mathew 3:10, 25:29.

Just like we have different weather seasons that dictate how nature takes its course, we also have seasons in our lives that dictate the way we operate. It is therefore important to understand the season that you are in order to operate effectively. One must however understand that the season of success does not tie in directly with the natural seasons.

Some Important Factors to note:

1) Winter is the season of dreaming and planning: Spring the season of planting: Summer the season for growing and cultivating and: Autumn the season for harvesting and dispersing.

b) The seasons are not necessarily the same length- Some may be longer or shorter than others

c) A season has a beginning and an ending- take note when one season is ending and you are entering the next.

d) The seasons are always in sequence- Make sure you understand what season you are in so that you can respond to the season effectively

2) Crops of success may have different growing periods but all follow the same sequence of seasons. In other words some of your successes will fall into place quickly while others will take years. One area of your life may experience slow growth, another more rapid growth. Just like a mango tree takes longer to bear fruit than corn.

3) Success crops may be cultivated in several areas of your life simultaneously. That is to say, you may be in one season in your personal, social or family life and in quite a different one in your career or business . You may face one set of seasonal challenges as you seek to develop a new skill or to complete a degree program.

Timing the Seasons of Your Life

“To everything there is a season, A time for every purpose under heaven” Ecclesiastes 3:1.

Most of the time opportunities come our way but we waste them because we have not prepared ourselves to utilize them. We worry about things we want to do but cannot instead of doing things we can do. We forget that success is not a destination but a way of travelling.
 
To ensure that you get the desires of your life, you must understand that everything happens in seasons and you must understand the seasons of your life and use them wisely. In his book “Timing is everything” Denis Waitely suggests certain principles that are important in timing your life.

Principles to consider in timing your Life:

1) View your success from the long view of time- Success is the collection of your memories; the employment and enjoyment of your present moments and the anticipation of the coming season.

2) View your failures from the short view of time- Failure is delay, not defeat. Choose to use your failure as the fertilizer of your success. In other words, use you errors and mistakes as a way to learn and then dismiss those errors and mistakes form your mind. The meaning of any failure or any success depends on how we take it and what we make of it.
