Do you know the season of life you are currently in at the moment? Frustration results in your lack of awareness. The Bible says that God makes all things beautiful in His time. An infant is beautiful at that stage of life, however if a teenager behaves as an infant, it is no longer beautiful to behold. The season has changed. Behavior that is acceptable during teenage years becomes unacceptable when one becomes a young adult. There will be an expectation from parents and society at large that there would be corresponding growth and development. The seasons of life can best be described as learning, earning, and returning. Previously we discussed the importance of self-discovery. We can learn the difference between things that are mandatory and things that are optional. There will be certain challenging experiences in life you will have to go through, in order to reach the level that you desire. You cannot skip the necessary steps. Part of growth and maturity is understanding that there is a process of maturity. Not everyone in life is going to celebrate you. There will be specific protocols and you will more often than not, learn the most valuable lessons in the hard places. There are also some opportunities in life that will be optional. You can choose to walk away or not participate. These choices will always be a reflection of  your level of self-awareness and authenticity.
