“People are in your life either for a season, reason or a lifetime….It’s up to you to figure out which it is.”
~BeShayBe
There, if you pay attention closely enough, are seasons in your life just like there are for the environment. Spring where growth occurs, Summer where it's good and things are poppin off, Autumn where you u prepare for the winter by losing what u don't need and storing up what you do, and lastly Winter which should be a reflective hibernating period. These smooth transitions hinge primarily upon what kind of people you allow into your life...
Seasons have various timeframes and are all meant to teach us a lesson or reinforce what we already know to be true. The people that come along most of the time are there to help us evaluate our own character and in many ways reveal things that we may not have known before…
People come into our lives during these different periods, for various reasons but it boils down to categorizing them as either of these 2 things Distracters or Attractors. They either distract you from moving from one season to another by holding you over in Winter too damn long or make u think Summer is the only season there ever is and ever will be.
Or if they are an Attractor they draw you towards what is important which is the inevitable. Change is necessary and constant. These people encourage you to grow and evolve either by their own actions or with encouraging words or deeds. These are the people that you want and need in all seasons of your life, because sometimes we get weary in well doing or get caught up in living life; they remind you of what life is centered around, EVOLUTION…
The flip side of these seasons comes in when you may not even be surrounded by distracters, but you have that 1 nasty little distracter in the bunch. Spring then becomes a time to just frolic about and forget about what you should have reflected upon in the Winter. Winter is a sad, desolate season in which you can't even reflect, because you didn't take the time in the Autumn to store up and get rid of what you didn't need. And Summer can be dry and dull because no growth occurred in Spring due to the fact that your Winter was messed up.
I have been reflecting upon a LOT of things in my life and I KNOW that change is necessary, so I myself am taking inventory of the ppl in my life and seeing what value they add to me or what virtue they take away… I encourage you to do the same!
