The book of proverbs reminds us that in everything there is a season, and that each season has its purpose. We only have to look to nature to observe the rhythm of the seasonal changes that are occurring, and how plants and animals adapt to those changes.

We also need to appreciate the ebbs and flows of life. In this fast-paced world of constant activity and deadlines, we need to embrace the periods of inactivity that occur in our lives and use them for reflection and renewal. Further, in all aspects of our lives, there are also highs and lows: times when things are chaotic, and times when things are quiet and slow-paced. We should not be living for the extremes – the highs and lows – we should also embrace the dark and silent times as well.

 

Throughout the day, we invite you to revisit this quote. Below are a few questions you may wish to ask yourself, and those who journal may find them especially useful:

• Do I get anxious when my life is quiet?
• Do I live for drama in my life, or in the lives of others?
• How content am I in the slow seasons of my life?

 

 

Best wishes and have a great day!
