A Time For Everything

There is a time for everything.

So many times – we try to do what we can to restrict the bad times and enhance the good. We think that in the bad is bad, and in the good is good. But there cannot be good, without bad. There cannot be light, without darkness. There cannot be good, without evil. This law of polarity is what makes us understand that without the bad, we cannot have good.

Once you understand this, surrendering to life becomes easier. And becomes easier because you know it is the time of life that you need to go through this. You know that the higher power at be in the world dictates that you are at this time, to move you through the next time.

You must break down before you can breakthrough.

Rock needs to get weathered down before it can turn to the soil to replant the earth. So must we. Every single thing negative that has gone on your life that time for a specific reason – to set up the future good. That sometimes is a hard pill to swallow because you wonder how much bad can go on and ultimately equal good.

I recall the first pregnancy that my wife had which resulted in a miscarriage at 10 weeks. To say I was devastated was an understatement. My world went so bleak, far beyond anything I had in the past. I thought I would never be able to get over something like that. That was my time to cry, my time to hurt, my time to grieve. And I had to go through that time in order to be here – now – with 2 beautiful boys and a family that still is hard to believe is in my life every day. If that first pregnancy comes to fruition, I would not have my boys as I have now – and I would not be in this moment of life where I am at now. That is the power of the universe working for you.

I am not sitting here trying to tell you that whenever something bad happens, immediately look for the good. Grieve. Remember, there is a TIME for everything, so if you are going through a time to grieve, grieve. If you are going through a time to strain, go through the strain. But know for the time going through the strain, ease is right behind it. And you have to go through the strain to get to the ease.

Breakdown to Breakthrough

Life isn’t just about building up and up and up. That actually is very anti-climatic. If everything was all success all the time, where would the learning be? Where would the time in these other areas be? Where would you be?

You have to breakdown to breakthrough. You have to go through the hurt and pain and suffering and strain to know that there is the opposite on the other side. Those dark times may be dark – but there is ALWAYS blue sky behind rain clouds. Moving through the dark times to be able to feel the warm sunshine on your face is why we go through the dark times.

And keep in mind that there will be more dark times. For as dark times lead to the light, the light will lead to the darkness again. Such is the cycle of life – a time for everything. So embrace the beautiful times, knowing they are short, and push through the dark times, knowing they are such.

Such is the success in life – a time for everything.
