There is a time for joy and time for sadness; a time for victory and time for defeat; a time for growth and time for shrinkage.

A time of sadness brings one close to the recesses of their soul; in defeat a lesson to learn which otherwise you would not; in shrinkage a time to reflect.

No matter which season of life greets you, there is a sense of peace and serenity in you.  And at every turn of the cycle, be it up, be it down, be it sideways, you find something to give - whether it is your time, wisdom or energy.

When you give, you feel blessed and you are inclined to focus on what is working for you, no matter how little it may seem.

Do you get ruffled when you are facing a time of sadness, defeat or shrinkage? Do you find things to give be it your time, wisdom or energy when the chips are down?
