With each of the passing seasons we grow just a little bit older and a little less motivated to chase after our greatest and most obvious desires. With each passing season we become more settled in our life and we push ourselves just a little less. It’s not that we don’t have dreams and visions, it is just that those dreams and visions have been cultivated by the continuing passing of the seasons. We are no longer the same youthful explorative and energetic people we once were. So, we allow the seasons to pass without conviction. And then one day we look around and realize that we have not met our own criteria for a successful life.
The whole point of living is to do what we feel is right and necessary for ourselves, and we can challenge the passing seasons with our own fortitude. There is no reason to allow age or time or situation to pull us down into a world where we feel we are not the ones in control. Time will pass no matter what we do. It’s how we choose to spend the passing of the seasons that counts more. We can become complacent or we can chase down our heart’s desire in spite of the bills and the kids and the family. We do have it in us to balance it all so that when the seasons change one more time we realize we are one step closer to our true desires, not one step farther away.
