Seasons of Life

The thoughts flow in my mind the journeys and experiences that I have encountered in my life. In youth, I want to be grown up, married, and singing in Royal Albert Hall for millions before I learn to balance my voice box. In young adulthood, I want to earn millions and live in a mansion before I learn to balance my bank account against booties and braces. In middle age, I experience crisis of commitment that leads me to end our marriages before we examine our own goals and character. Then in maturity, I long for the energy and health of youth and a fresh start on decisions more properly made earlier in life.

Decisions, duties, and devotions are a lot like bananas, strawberries, and avocados - a lot more expensive out of season. At best, they cost more money, time, and trouble than they should. At worst, they are beyond our reach.

Give a thought on this:-

There is a time for everything
And a season for every activity under heaven;
A time to be born, and a time to die,
A time to plant, and a time to uproot,
A time to kill, and a time to heal;
A time to break down, and a time to build up;
A time to weep, and a time to laugh;
A time to mourn, and a time to dance;
A time to scatter stones, and a time to gather them,
A time to embrace and a time to refrain,
A time to search, and a time to give up,
A time to keep, and a time to throw away;
A time to tear, and time to mend,
A time to keep silent, and a time to speak,
A time to love, and a time to hate;
A time of war, and a time of peace

One learn to swim with the seasons of life. Its about understanding that each season of life has its own commitments and joys. Swim with the current in warm weather and enjoy the experience.
Time spent longing for the past and "the good old days" or longing for the future until "real" life begin is wasted time. One should swim in the seasons of life, enjoying each stage of the journey for its own thrills and commitments. One has a deep spiritual sense of who he/she is in the eternal scheme of things -- and a belief system that does not limit and stifle, but throws open the window to all possibilities !
