Life is a journey with an ultimate purpose to be fulfilled. Just like a traveler\u2019s focus during a trip is to reach the final destination, which is the purpose for taking the trip, so too , our focus on our life\u2019s journey is to fulfill the \u00a0purpose for which we were created. (Please you can read this book \u201cThe purpose driven life\u201d by Rick Warren to get more insight on life\u2019s purpose).<\/p>\n
A traveller\u2019s trip has different phases such as the pre-trip preparation phase; the take-off point phase; the phase of travelling\/movement; the phase of arrival at the destination. All these phases work together to fulfilling his goal of arriving the final destination. Similarly, our life\u2019s journey has different seasons which have specific task leading up to fulfilling our purpose. There is a season when you were born; a season when you were a baby; a season when you were a toddler; season of adolescence; single season; marriage season etc.<\/p>\n
Think about the geographical seasons of the year. Each season is marked by special climate conditions which determine the activities to be done during that season. For instance, in my local community, the rainy season is characterized by down pour of rain and it is the season when planting of crops is done. During this season, it may be challenging to have out-door activities especially when the rain falls for long hours. Nevertheless, at the right time, the rainy season gives way for the dry season which is characterized by long hours of sunshine, which makes the environmental view more clear. Thus, it is a good season for many out door activities.<\/p>\n
Ecclesiastes 3:15 says \u201cThere is a time for everything, and a season for every activity under the heavens\u201d.<\/em><\/p>\n Life is a journey with different seasons. If these seasons were created as part of the life\u2019s journey, it means each of this season is very important in life\u2019s journey. \u00a0Each season has specific characteristics and task which are vital for the next season. Understanding and working in the purpose of specific seasons in life’s journey is of essence in fulfilling ultimate purpose.<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n The single season is a season in life\u2019s journey with its own specificities. One of the main aspects of this season the \u201ctime you have to yourself\u201d. So, it is essential to maximize this time\/season to develop self. Just like other seasons, this season too may soon give way to other seasons of life. What you do during this single season is of essence during the next season and in fulfilling life\u2019s purpose. Will you just let the season pass by with nothing to keep in stock?<\/p>\n
