While we are on earth, we are all human beings in different phases of our lives and soul development. Each Phase Precious As we walk through the world, the people we encounter appear so different from one another. We see babies, old men, pregnant women, and teenage boys. We know couples on the verge of marriage and lonely widows. We interact with toddlers and the terminally ill. As different as each person seems, they are all living the human experience. They are just at different places in the cycle that begins with birth and ends with death. Every phase of the cycle of life has its gifts and its challenges. Each stage is temporary and ultimately gives way to a new phase. This ephemeral quality makes each phase precious, because it will never last. Each end of Life One of the wonderful qualities possessed by babies and young children is that they are unaware that a cycle of life even exists. They simply are present to wherever they happen to be right now, and they don’t give much thought to the past or future. Being around them reminds us of the joy that comes from living fully in the moment. On the opposite end of life’s cycle are our elderly role models. They are a reminder that each phase of life should be treasured. Time does pass, and we all change and grow older. Wisdom from Experience Being aware of the cycle of life and our place in it makes us wiser. As we develop a true appreciation for the phase we are in, we can savour it more. A new mother going through a difficult time with her infant can more easily embrace her challenges because she knows that her child will grow up, and she will long for this time again. Engage with Life Difficult and challenging periods are inevitable, but – like everything that is a part of the cycle of life they are temporary. When we are fully engaged with life, we get to savour and grow from each phase, and we are ready for the next one when it arrives. Fully embracing wherever you are in the cycle of life is the very essence to happiness.
