“To everything turn, turn turn… There is a season, turn, turn, turn… And a time to every purpose under heaven.”
This advice has been around for centuries, making its way from the Bible to a folk song that helped a generation through the tumultuous 1960s.
The message is timeless, and one we should think about frequently when faced with the idea of change in our lives.
It can come at us surprisingly, even shockingly. Sometimes we see it coming. Sometimes we bring it on, ourselves.
But here’s the truth about change: It’s as certain as the sun rising. We can’t dodge it or duck it.
So, what if we flip the script? Instead of dreading change, let’s wrap our arms around it. Imagine it like the seasons or the weather – a natural force beyond our control. Just like we ride those seasons and plan picnics or ski trips, we can ride the waves of change for the best outcomes.
Throughout history and around the world, cultures have celebrated shifting seasons with rituals and holidays.
Spring brings renewal and blossoming life, while summer pumps us with energy. Fall can ask us to slow down, all while the trees show off their vibrant colors. And winter? Cozy snowscapes and quiet moments, or a chance to hibernate until spring returns.
Nature is all about motion. Motion is change. And change? Well, that’s life, the essence of it all.
Embrace it all with love and gratitude. And use the power of the universe to fuel your journey toward success – the kind that’s uniquely yours.
