The End Is Not Like The Beginning

The end is not like the beginning, yet in some ways, they are the same. Endings are not truly final; rather, they pave the way for new beginnings and are essential in life. Where you are now and where you hope to be in the future will necessitate an ending. Even if it’s just the end of one day so that you can start anew the next day, it remains important. Every day will end, every life will come to an end, every career will conclude, and every infant will grow into a child, then a teenager, and ultimately an adult. While the growth cycle may not always be obvious, it is clear in other respects. Everything you have experienced continues to live within you; it has become part of who you are. Your relationships, education, beliefs, and career shape your character, although your inner self is influenced by your inherent traits, personality, and various other factors.

It's all timed out, you know. What do you mean? Life is a series of events that happen one after another, and many of these occurrences are beyond your control. For instance, if I ask you when you started teething as an infant or when your hair began to fall out and turn gray as an adult, could you have determined those outcomes? Everything happens in its own time. You live and die in your own time, and you get married and have children throughout your life. So, you wait and see, learning what you’re searching for along the way, while changes happen without your approval. You continue to exist in different forms across various eras, with each period of change shaping who you will become next.

One thing is certain: everyone goes through the same process and experiences similar changes throughout their lifespan on Earth. You cannot skip these steps of evolution. Whether you face setbacks or achieve significant milestones, the cycles of endings and beginnings will continue to unfold around you. So, what happens next? Scripture teaches us that as long as the Earth remains, there will be both seed time and harvest. This principle, often referenced in spiritual teachings, means that what you sow, you will reap. This concept applies to people as well. Our souls evolve alongside our bodies, and no one can avoid the process of change. Have a great day!
