This week I asked my good friend Quintin Germaine to help me explain what each season represents. Collectively, we have compiled our experiences to bring you to a place of understanding what season you maybe encountering.
Winter
Winter is always ice cold. There are no leaves on the tree. The grass is brown and everything that once was, is gone. No matter how much you try to keep warm, it's cold the entire three months. This is when animals hibernate. Because even they have enough sense to know that it is too cold to do anything. Winter is the season for processing and planning. In your winter season everything appears dormant and it seems like no matter how hard you try nothing is getting accomplished. (Grass never strains to grow...and it can not grow in the winter.) Winter is not for accomplishing but for planning and processing new visions, hopes, connections, etc. Your winter season is where you establish and gather the fuel (knowledge) that will generate your momentum and success.
Spring
We all know that when you cut all of your hair and it begins to grow back, there is an awkward stage that it goes through. But it does grow and it continues to grow and when it fully grows back, it's beautiful. It's sort of the same process when there is a transition from winter to spring. Spring is the beginning of nature's beauty. Spring is the season of provisions. In the Spring, many new opportunities will emerge. The seeds of fall and the planning of winter will begin to bud & blossom. The Spring will bring many gloomy days because it is a rainy season. Everything will look bright and vibrant during the Spring but at the end of the season everything will seem to wither, like everything is going wrong, but everything is actually going (growing) perfectly right. That rough patch that you will (and must) experience during this season is actually a sure indication that you are transitioning into your fruitful season. It's always cool, windy, and rainy at the beginning of the Spring, but by the end of this season, it's absolutely beautiful. The trees has all of their leaves, the grass begins to grow (constantly), and it is definitely warm.
Summer
As soon as it's hot outside, everybody is happy and ready to take the layers of clothes off that they were wearing the entire winter and some of the spring. The belly rings are seen and the tramp stamps (lower back tatoos) are uncovered. Summer is your harvest season. It's the season that all the seeds that has been planted begin to harvest/manifest. The fruit of your labor begin to appear. Summer is a season of intensity. You ever wonder why so many people are shot or why so many fights happen during the summertime??? Everything begins to heat up and the pressure increases because everything begins to move and grow at a rapid pace. The Summer is a true season of testing. You have to decide do you pick all of your fruit because they're ripe and there is an abundance of them? Do you sell them? Or do you store for the Fall and Winter because eventually the Fall and Winter is right around the corner. The heat of the summer will either destroy the fruits of your labor or conjure a harvest beyond your imagination.
Fall
The Fall season is just as beautiful as the Spring and Summer. But do not let the auburn and burnt orange colors fool you. Fall is the season that demonstrates that no matter how hard you try, nothing seems to go right. Things just continue to fall...apart. Instead of gaining, you begin to lose. You shed heavily. As the Fall season progress, the leaves on all of the trees all fall to the ground. Fall is a season when old blessings fall from your branches and new seeds are planted into the soils of your soul. New hope, new convictions, new friends, new everything....Fall is the season for renewal.
And the cycle continues. Winter - Spring - Summer - Fall {It Repeats...Forever}
Seasons occur in the same cycle. Spring doesn't jump to Fall and Fall doesn't jump to Summer. Your life is a process and it follows the same cycle as the seasons.
Seasons Change.
What season are you experiencing?
