Seasons (by the Disciple)

Seasons.

True to my word, we have a one word title. This week I want to discuss two themes. We all know what a season is, but this is the thought of the redemptive qualities of each day we live. But, first I want to start with the idea of turning the page.

Turning the Page.

Well, you would think we would be on a bit of a sour note after the destruction on Sunday, but we are persistent. It will take a whole lot more to derail the movement that is happening than one poor game.

The Cardinals need to turn the page. They need to wash off what has happened. Not just the loss, but all of it. They need to cleanse themselves of the past. They need to re-establish themselves.

The main goal of the season was to make the Play-offs. That goal is complete. Now, we need to revamp and aim for a higher threshold.

The threshold needs to test the limits of ourselves. The threshold needs to be the most lofty and inconceivable outcome that we could imagine. If you challenge yourself to the ultimate goal of self, then you will find out how much you can handle.

If you understand that the world is energy. If you understand that everything is connected and the actions you take will not only affect your life but those closest to you. If you understand this mindset, then you can understand the importance of turning the page.

You need to get yourself out of the mindset of the past. You need to get yourself out of trying to repair what is broken. You need to stop worrying about others and their opinions toward the life you are leading.

If you are happy with the life you have, then continue. If you are unhappy, change. But, be aware that when you change, everything around you will change. Everything that holds value to you at the moment of your reversal will change its shape.

The same things and people will not make you feel the same way as they once did. You will think that you lost something. That you lost a connection with someone if you determine that your current course is not healthy and you need a change.

People will get angry and fight because they don’t like when the boat gets rocked. People don’t like when other people change because that makes them uncomfortable.

If everything is indeed energy and if you are living a life that is not fulfilling, you know that it is not. You know that you are not happy but distract yourself with petty things.

These petty things create a false world that is based on negative energy. Negative energy is the cause for all pain.

But, all that negative energy and that negative world that you created can be changed. If everything is energy, all you need to do is switch your mindset.

It may mean that you need to remove a hobby. You remove a job. You remove a person.

Then, only then, will you be making the change that you need to in order to be the person you are meant to be.

Trust me, it’s not easy. It’s not easy to change everything you know and destroy the world around you. But, if that would is self-destructive, you need to dissolve the world before it dissolves your humanity.

Turning the page is also about symmetry. Symmetry is in everything in the world. The world is broken down to 12 months. The months are broken down evenly between 4 seasons. The days are broken into 24-hour periods.

If you truly want to live in every moment you have an understanding toward the importance of each second. You understand what can happen in a second and the worth each of these have in our daily lives.

Analyze a day like you do a year. The morning when you rise is like spring. The early afternoon is like Summer. Dusk is like Fall and the evening is reserved for Winter.

You wake up and everything is new. You woke up today to an entirely new world at your fingertips. You could create and do anything that you want to do in this gift of the morning. This feeling is the same that over joys us in the Spring.

It is a feeling of renewal. It is a feeling of Hope and excitement. It is a feeling that overcomes you with happiness.

Then comes summer. Summer is a time that will cause you to enjoy life. You can relax and enjoy the fondest part of your existence. It is the time of the day when everything should slow down and you should recognize the small details of your surroundings.

Fall follows and the time of transition begins. The fall is the season where everything begins to prepare for a rest. You are exhausted from the energy and happiness that is brought by spring and summer.

Last, we have winter. Winter is the time that you need to regenerate. It is a time that allows for you to seize the run around, seize the commotion of everything around you and just relax with your inner spirit and mind. This is the same system that enables us each evening as we prepare ourselves for the next adventure the following morning.

Concluding, life is energy. We are all connected and when something is over you need to understand that the energy in it is gone too.
.
There is no use trying to fight for a memory that is gone. Enjoy the memory, love the moment you had, but prepare yourself for the next one you will make.

Understand that each day is a lifetime. That each morning when you wake up you are completely cleansed from the previous days activities. You have the chose every morning to create the canvas of your life.

Just be happy. Understand the things and people in your life that make you happy and fill your heart. Locate the people that are in bad states and out of sorts. Try to help, but understand only a person can make the choice on their own to change the energy around them.

I love you all and be happy. We are about to begin anew in a few short weeks. And with the spring, comes new adventures with new people!

Be safe and smile today!
