The change of year, time and natural cycles always bring an element of the unknown and events beyond human control. These changes are exciting because the future is hidden, but they bring renewal and promote development. Natural cycles remind us that growth is impossible without change: fall gives way to winter, then comes spring, and each cycle brings renewal and new ground for growth. In a person's life, the change of stages is an opportunity to revise one's goals and to free oneself from the unnecessary, opening oneself to the new. These moments of renewal help one move forward and trust the rhythms of life, finding strength in the constancy of change.
