20 Quotes about Embracing All the Seasons of Life

As you enter a new season of expansion, it’s OK to be uncomfortable. New beginnings can be messy. Read these quotes to remember that all seasons of life, even the ones you like the least, represent new life. Hope can carry you through every phase, every season of your soul… that’s what hope does.

You hurt and you heal, you build and release, and it’s all part of the same process: it’s life.

Each season is a signal that you’re not stuck. And even though you’ll lose some things, you’re strong enough to keep going long after you think you can’t.

In the most unlikely of places, you make real connections. Grace finds you. You’ll see worthwhile things growing in the dirt of imperfection.

So. If you want to know where this season is going, or why the last one had to end, or when the next one is coming… read these quotes. Let them ground you in the truth that every single shifting season brings with it new life. Another chance. An experience you’re here for.

    Thanks for the entire article and the 20 quotes. Each one had significant meaning to me however, 17. “There are years that ask questions, and years that answer.” — by Zora Neale Huston, spoke to my heart. I have lived long enough in various seasons of life to receive answers for questions asked earlier in life.
