Don’t Take the Season Personally
In a life, there are many seasons.
Friends break-up at the same time
Bad medical news in your extended circle.
Everyone struggles financially around you.
Yes, your awareness of one theme, (break-ups, health issues) makes you notice more of the same season of events around you.
But this doesn’t change the experience of the season.
And often, this experience of a season in your life isn’t very fun.
Don’t take the season personally.
In the depths of a bad financial season. We’ll carry the season with us. We’ll resist it. We’ll fight it. We’ll ignore it. We’ll do anything other than welcome it.
And that’s fair enough. Welcoming a period of health issues in yourself and your extended circle won’t make you popular.
But that doesn’t mean the season is here to specifically hurt you. It’s just here, as it has been in the past, and will be in the future.
The current season in your life isn’t out to get you.
The season is simply rolling through the environment, a wave, like the inevitable move from summer to winter, and back again.
Bring this to your awareness, recognize the season, and let it roll simply as a force of nature.
You’ll know you’re doing it right, when this inner & outer season loses its edge.
Something about it shifts.
The pressure drops, if only by a little.
And that’s enough to carry us through.
If only to what’s next.
