“I observe in myself the change of the seasons: I clearly change with them as well.” Clarice Lispector

Life often surprises us with challenges of faith and persistence. Sometimes we react as real heroes facing obstacles imposed upon us so we can move forward and there are times when we bow down carrying the weight of our fears and insecurities.

Our days are like each season that has its beauty and its hardships. We enter spring known for its colors, flowers and fruits but, not before we face the sad and cold winter.

Perhaps you are living the winter and facing challenges that make you question if your dream is too big to achieve in the first place and if you’ll have the strength to overcome whatever trials lies ahead.

Even when you feel sad and lonely, remember everything will pass, all things happen at their own time and the difference lies alone in your mindset: will you stagger or act to solve the crisis and problems that always come our way? Before we get blossoms, the trees must overcome the hard dry winter.

How do you want to feel about each one of those stages in your life? Do you just want to suffer and give up when the cold wind comes blowing or will you learn whatever lesions you can and grow your roots even deeper so you bend with the wind and rise back up after the storm?

How strong is your own inner conviction to carry on before the external storm?

Sure it can be daunting to walk towards your dreams, after all, a lot of people won’t understand why it is that you chase after your personal goals. But if you align your heart and mind, you can advance fearlessly to fulfill your life’s purpose with the certainty that each knowledge obtained is essential to your victory!
