Life's journey unfolds in four distinct seasons, much like the changing tapestry of nature. Spring symbolizes rebirth and fresh beginnings, the ideal time to set ambitious goals. Summer represents growth and prosperity, nurturing your dreams. Autumn signifies reflection and adaptation, a chance to reassess and refine your path. Winter embodies rest and introspection, a time for self-care and preparation for the next cycle. Embrace these seasons to craft a holistic and fulfilling life vision.

1. What are the four seasons in life and how
they can be used for making a better life
vision?
All know that there are four seasons in a year. In a similar manner, there are also
five seasons in the life of a person. This idea can be made clear by listening to a
story.
A king wanted to teach his four sons a good lesson. For this, he asked them to
go to a cherry tree situated in the forest of his kingdom. He wanted his eldest
son to visit the tree in the peak winter and write some description about the
tree. After visiting the tree the princess told the king that the tree is old, barren,
and hopeless as even birds are not coming near to it. He also suggested that it is
better to cut the tree and make use of the wood before it gets destroyed.

2. The king asked his next son to visit the tree during the middle of the spring and
write some description about the tree. After visiting the tree the princess came
back to the king and said that the tree is full of lovely cherry blossoms and it
appears young and promising.
Then the king asked the third son to visit the tree during summer. He visited the
tree as told by the king and came back and said that the cherry tree looks mature
and valuable as it is loaded with delicious cherries instead of blossoms.
In a similar way, the youngest son of the king visited the cherry tree during
autumn and reported that the tree does not have any flowers or fruits as
described by his brothers. He also said that the tree looked an ideal object for
painting with its leaves in orange, red, and gold colors.
After getting all these remarks the king asked his sons to tell him what they have
learned from this experience. All the elder sons seriously thought about the
answer to this question and they were not able to find it. The youngest son
replied that:
• We also experience four seasons of life like the tree by which we
are greatly affected.
• It is not wise to evaluate our life based on the outcome of the
current season.
• Every season has its own purpose in life.
• Every season will change
The four seasons of life
In the olden days people used to be more connected to the seasons. They
adapted their life to suit the seasons as they embraced the seasons. A farmer
rests in his hut during winter and keeps his tool ready by sharpening and
polishing it. In summer he protects his field from insects, weeds, animals, etc,
and nourishes his crop. By the time the summer arrives, he will reap the
products of his work and enjoy the benefits of his hard work. The cycle will be
repeated year after year.
Just like the seasons existing in nature, there exist four seasons in life also.
Winter season in life is characterized by heartbreak, sadness, loneliness,
sickness, etc. So, when you experience winter in real life whether it be seasonal
or personal, things will look difficult and out of control.

3. During winter people are often found to be in two situations. Either prepared to
face it or unprepared for facing it. A person who has followed the seasons in his
life diligently and harvested well in the fall, winter can be easier for him and you
might get more time to take rest. If you have not harvested well in the fall, the
winter will become a preparation time for the coming seasons. Winter is
considered as the best time to prepare.
