It is far to easy in our world to get caught up in life<\/a> and lose perspective. There is a time for everything, and it is important to take a step back and realize that through and through.<\/p>\n

A time for everything is a theme throughout different religions and spiritual practices.<\/p>\n

In the Tao Te Ching, Lao Tzu talks about the time for everything:<\/p>\n

As in the nature of things,
\nthere is a time for being ahead
\nand a time for being behind;
\na time for ease
\nand a time for strain;
\na time to be hard
\nand a time to be soft;
\na time to grow in strength
\nand a time to decay.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

In the Bible,\u00a0Ecclesiastes 3 says there is a time for everything:<\/p>\n

\n
\n

There is a time\u00a0for everything,<\/span><\/span>
\nand a season for every activity under the heavens:<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

a time to be born and a time to die,<\/span><\/span>
\na time to plant and a time to uproot,<\/span><\/span>
\na time to kill\u00a0and a time to heal,<\/span><\/span>
\na time to tear down and a time to build,<\/span><\/span>
\na time to weep and a time to laugh,<\/span><\/span>
\na time to mourn and a time to dance,<\/span><\/span>
\na time to scatter stones and a time to gather them,<\/span><\/span>
\na time to embrace and a time to refrain from embracing,<\/span><\/span>
\na time to search and a time to give up,<\/span><\/span>
\na time to keep and a time to throw away,<\/span><\/span>
\na time to tear and a time to mend,<\/span><\/span>
\na time to be silent\u00a0and a time to speak,<\/span><\/span>
\na time to love and a time to hate,<\/span><\/span>
\na time for war and a time for peace.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/blockquote>\n

There is a time for everything.<\/h2>\n

\"aSo 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.<\/p>\n

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.<\/p>\n

You must break down before you can breakthrough.<\/strong><\/p>\n

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.<\/p>\n

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<\/a>. 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.<\/p>\n

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.<\/p>\n

Breakdown to Breakthrough<\/h2>\n

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?<\/p>\n

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<\/strong> 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.<\/p>\n

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.<\/p>\n

Such is the success in life – a time for everything.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
