Appreciate the Season

The past three months have been the most hectic of my life. When I began this year, I had certain goals I wanted to achieve in terms of my life, family, and business. I quickly began going about the business of reaching my goals. My days and evenings were filled to the brim, but there was always a time of rest. I’d stop in the middle of the day and instead of eating lunch I’d practice power yoga for an hour.

Although my year was off to a busy start, I still felt in control. Things were moving at a pace I was comfortable with and did not feel overwhelmed.

Then life happened.

I agreed to consult on a major project which was not a part of my plan this year. I signed on to another project which would require I travel to all 7 continents and 12 countries prior to September for research. Again, something that was not a part of the plan. My company was preparing to launch a subsidiary by the summer. Because of the two projects above , I don’t know this will still happen.

I don’t feel in control. As a matter of fact, I’ve been feeling a bit as if my life is running ahead of me and I’m doing my darndest to catch up. Then this past weekend, on the Sabbath, I had an epiphany. Actually, I was simply reminded of something I already knew. This is just a season in my life. It is a finite period of time which will soon pass. I can spend my time trying to gain control of the situation or I can simply enjoy each day, do my best to make the greatest impact possible, and allow the chips to fall where they may.

It’s only one season, I was reminded. Just a brief moment in time. Next year, there will be new challenges and more projects to overwhelm me and this hectic moment in time will be long forgotten. At that time, I will be faced with the same choice: Will I learn to appreciate my life in terms of seasons or allow myself to become overwhelmed? The choice for me is clear. What about you? Can you push yourself to do it? Learn to embrace the season you’re in and trust that anything overwhelming will soon pass and all that will remain is your health, strength, family…and the season yet to come.

Until tomorow…make it a great day!
