A MAN’S SEASON IN LIFE.

I was in deep thought when my brains geared towards a certain direction in my life. The mysterious and dark place is at the bottom of my mind. I could not hear the voice of my mum when she called me to help her out at the kitchen because my mind was moving deeper onto that direction. The direction of what becomes of me in some years to come. There and then, I saw my brains move as fast as Usain Bolt. The unstoppable run was so extreme that I had to cover my head with a pillow which was beside me. I couldn’t remember anything after some minutes and finally, I was back to my senses.

 

In fact, I was missing in my thought when I returned from that world and realized I was lying prone on my bed. The only question I asked my inner being was when is my season and time?

 

Do you think about the season and time of man? I do think about it, but I don’t get worried about it. Thinking is an emotionally neutral process based on logic, information, and experience whiles worrying we pre-suppose a negative outcome and get tensed up. So, to think about life is to reflect on life, and to worry about life is to burden your head over life. Do not burden yourself, but rather reflect on it. Do not worry about the circumstances, obstacles, and current situation, but let it worry about itself. What you must do is to keep calm, pray about the issue, speak to the obstacles, circumstances, unbearable situation, and have faith that things are going to work.

 

The season and time of man are the right moments in one’s life. The moment where everything falls in its right place and good things comes your way. I have learnt that the season of man does not happen every day but seasonal. It cannot be so because there is an accustomed moment of blessings for everyone. Since we were not born on the same day, so will our success and blessings not happen on the same day. Some one’s blessing would be in the morning; another in the afternoon and in the evening. This brings to the saying that “All hands are not equal”.  Get to understand this, the season of a man’s life is like the weather, therefore there is time for each and every one.  

 

Let’s take for instance the two seasons in Africa that are the wet and dry season. And same applies to the western world, where we have the summer, winter, autumn, and spring. These seasons do not occur the same day or at the same time, they all have their time of occurrence.

 

You can attest to the fact that there is a season of rain and a season of the hot sun. Also, you can realize that the day has three dimensions which are the morning light, the hot afternoon sunlight, and the dusk where the evening sets.  These three dimensions cannot take place together and so can one not happen before the other. They all follow each other and happen at the right time. That’s the same way the seasons of men are, your blessing and another’s blessing cannot be the same and happen together.

 

I want to tell you that don’t murder yourself because things are not working, don’t lose hope because you think there is no way, don’t speak evil upon your life because you think everything has been destroyed, don’t belittle yourself because the right time has not come yet. Hold yourself together and know that as the seasons take time and right moments to happen, so will the season of man be like.

I always compare the season of man to the seasons of the year because a man’s success is often cyclical. All of us will experience the springs of life where everything goes our way, hence we need to live our lives with expectations that our season will be due someday and that would be your day. That day when you start flourishing and blooming in all aspects of life.

Dear reader, know that as the sun rises and sets, fall will come and the winds of change will blow in the cold winter season, but when this happens know that it is what life carries and surely your season will happen again. Don’t be moved, just keep calm and trust the process.
