Isn't it interesting how we can go through various cycles during our lifetime?

Sometimes we are influenced by something that at other times would be of no effect whatsoever.

Sometimes we like certain foods and sometimes we don't. Some days we experience a very positive outlook on life. Some days are a challenge of our endurance.

Cycles come in all sizes, shapes, colors, flavors, and purposes. The point, here, is that they come.

We all experience: (1) Natural Cycles
(2) Environmental Cycles
(3) Self-Made Cycles

Natural Cycles are those kinds of cycles that are normal to nature. Hormonal highs and lows are probably the most common or well known. Mowing the lawn is another natural cycle.

Environmental Cycles are cycles that happen all around us. We do not usually have a great influence in them, but we can participate in them. “Elections” are one such cycle. Going to work is a cycle. It has an inner cycle known as a “pay period”. Holidays fall in an annual cycle. These, for the most part, bring a measure of joy into our lives.

Self-made Cycles are those which we have a tremendous degree of control over. We may not always assume the control, which results in lessons learned. But we usually have the opportunity of control.

Choices can initiate cycles. Choices to make positive changes in our lives can begin cycles of hope and prosperity. Bad choices, or lack of making timely choices, can teach us lessons in life.

You see, there is no such thing as a bad experience. Only experiences that move us forward and give us joy, or teach us lessons and give us experience with time to evaluate our present course and position.

Ponder the cycles in your own life. Learn to graciously work with and accept those over which you have no control. Take responsibility for those over which you can express a measure of influence. And learn to understand the differences between them.
