Everything in existence is connected. With this in mind, and the fact that life is supposed to be a journey; not just existing, I have some thoughts to consider, regarding a persons life journey and the environmental seasons:
Living in climates where there are no real seasons, and just simple little changes here and there, of rain & lush green, drought & dryness, wind or calm...this can be compared to a persons life, whereby they don't change much; they live life basically just existing and doing the same thing day in and day out, with only a few slight changes here and there, but nothing that makes any difference worth noting. And, some people are happy living like that, but some are not.
Living in climates where there are four seasons (Spring, Summer, Fall & Winter) - there are the four seasons, but a person never knows exactly what the impact will be; how beautiful (or severe) each will be, how long or short they will last, when they will begin, etc. Some people love every season, but some people don't. Comparing this to a persons life, whereby they really are embracing the journey and love to experience changes and follow wherever they are lead to go/do/be. There are challenges that are faced. Some are not enjoyable, but there is always something to look forward to, after the challenge is completed. Some people love every environmental season, but some do not; they like the idea of living somewhere that the climate is pretty consistent.
To those who are in the first scenario and don't like being there - I encourage you to try to break out of that and begin to make changes, little by little. As you do, making changes will become easier and easier; just don't be afraid of the challenges you'll face, because perseverance will get you through (just as we persevere through the environmental seasons). You will discover more enjoyment in life and really be set on the journey you're supposed to be on.
For those who are in the second scenario and don't like living where there are four seasons - perhaps I've given you a new perspective about looking at it all and relating it to your life journey. Then, you might just embrace the seasons through a whole new light.....perhaps.
For me, I've lived in a climate of no real seasons for most of my life. My life has definitely been a journey of changes, and when I visit places with seasons, I love them. I'm looking forward to living where I can experience the four seasons, and I hope to keep this blog message at the front of my mind when I don't think I'm enjoying some aspects of any of them. :-)
**I do need to acknowledge that both types of climates offer ways of having fun during those seasons (or lack thereof), so these things could be something that helps to contribute to a person enjoying where they're at. After all, every person was created differently and the various environments around the globe were created to be different.
