Measure Your Life II, Contributed By @olawalium.
...continued... from here.
The first part talked about measuring our lives by time. This post address the second part.
Still on how we can get the best out of life and how we can ease up the frustrations that life throws our way sometimes.
2. Measure Your Life By Seasons.
There are a lot of frustration we sometimes feel as humans, when we see others doing so well and we are not. We feel the need to compare ourselves with others and conclude we are failing, since we put in all the efforts in and without any considerable level of success. Life is in seasons.
There is a season to plant and there is a season to reap. There is a season for birth and a season for death. There is a season for laughter and a season for tears. Life has both folds and we should do well never to contend with it. We should learn to accept the things we can’t control. We should only do well to work on the things we can influence. We should do all we can and not give in to frustrations. I admit that might be hard sometimes, but when we understand that life is in seasons, it makes it a bit bearable.
Life comes in seasons. We can’t change that. Rather than work to change the seasons, we should rather work to change ourselves so we can fit into the seasons we are in. This helps a lot and ease up our frustrations.
You want to compare yourself with another because you see that person with a considerable level of success? You are only seeing the results, you need to understand the story behind it. You really don’t know the hard work the person put into that and how long it took that person. You need to learn the story behind every success. Nothing was achieved in a sudden flight. It takes hard work and seizing opportunities.
Opportunities also come in seasons and only those whose preparation meets with it, can record the desired success.
We need to understand that life is in seasons, and with preparation meeting with opportunities, success is bound to happen and frustrations reduced to a bearable level.

Thank you for your time.
My pen doesn’t bleed, it speaks, with speed and ease.
Still me,
My tongue is like the pen of a ready writer.

Encouraging post @olawalium. Life is definitely not a season of continuous plenty. There are the days that you need to plant and take care of the seedling till it matures and you harvest. In between there will definitely be pests, weeds, harsh weather that you need to anticipate and remove for a bountiful harvest. And so is life.
Absolutely. Life is in seasons. We have time of lack and abundance, planting and nurturing then reaping. I appreciate your comment and thanks a lot for this.
True one sir
Opportunists comes with every season
Never wait to, jux get ready for every season and as you do you will automatically fit into the space available at a given moment (season).
Its like being at the train station and waiting for the train to come.
Thanks for yet another insightful one.
I am.glad you enjoyed it too. Yes, we need to be ready anytime opportunity presents itself.
Thanks as always bro.
I like your post @Olawalium I think nature illustrates to us that there are different seasons to contend with and all have a special and specific purpose. I like the part about trying to understand and perhaps appreciate the story behind someone else's success rather than considering this success superficially.
Really appreciate your comment and i am glad to read your input too. Thanks a lot and hoping to see more of you around.
