Quote by Henry Cloud

Everything has seasons, and we have to be able to recognize when something's time has passed and be able to move into the next season. Everything that is alive requires pruning as well, which is a great metaphor for endings.

Everything has seasons, and we have to be able to recognize

Summary

This quote emphasizes the importance of recognizing and accepting the natural cycles of life. Just as seasons change, everything in life evolves and reaches its own expiration point. It urges us to be perceptive enough to acknowledge when a particular phase, relationship, or endeavor has served its purpose and is no longer beneficial or relevant. The reference to pruning highlights that like plants, we need to let go and remove what no longer nourishes our growth or holds us back. Endings, therefore, are seen as necessary for new beginnings and personal development.
