Every Season Has A Reason!

 After a month-long Christmas decoration and New Year celebration atmosphere, the festival season in many European countries including Norway has been paused for this year. The  New Year's Eve celebration with the lights and sound of the fireworks proudly switched the winter silence and darkness of the midnight into a great musical festival. And wonderful dawn this morning gladly presented a new and exciting Year, 2019 to the Oslo residents.

The sunrise is not only the hope for this human civilization but also the greatest reason for every season.

 31^st December 2018, the last day of the year and a transit period before a new sunrise in 2019. For some reason, the white and quiet evening felt a bit different than other usual days. The cold Oslo atmosphere seemed more warm and delightful with hundreds of colorful fireworks, light-full decoration for the New Year's Eve celebration. Every year, New Year Eve has become a special occasion to aim for something positive, to dream something new, and to promise something special for a better life-  a celebration with many resolutions!

The colorful fireworks may have symbolized hopes and ambition which keeps the human race going.

  In every New Year, the calendar changes, the dream may also change, but surprisingly, the season stays unchanged. January is a cold month in winter but still, people do celebrate the eve and wish for something better as a new year resolution. Nature, in contrast, seems quite challenging to keep their new hope growing well. However, there are always some motivational factors to keep our dreams alive and to cope with every seasonal change.

The sun, the snow (water) and the plants are the greatest gifts of nature to planet earth.

  It would not sound very realistic if I claimed that a successful life can be possible without any sort of struggles at some point in their life. Because human life by nature seems full of challenges; since an innocent child gets born naked and struggles the whole life to survive happily without knowing the day of goodbye to this world again.

These ducks came out of the water expecting some foods from the passersby while I was taking a walk nearby the river. It may not have been easy for them to stay in that cold winter water and haunting for the foods at the same time, but their survival could be a lesson of self-restraint to the humankind.

 Based on the life cycle of the human being, it can be assumed that the human's luck has to suffer either physically, mentally or financially, regardless of their living standard. Therefore, success is what accounts for our strength and ability to fight against those obstacles while fulfilling our dreams in different ways.

This blurry atmosphere is a true symbol of the human suffering but what nature teaches us is, the sun keeps shining in every season all we need is faith and trust on it.

Although human vision may not be able to see the sunlight, the sun never stops rising every morning despite rainy and cloudy weather. Nature is therefore mysterious and the sun is almighty without which the day and night cycle would not have been possible on the earth. Every human's hopes and promises are what we can consider as the true fuel of our life engine which drives us towards an unknowingly adventurous path while chasing our destiny.

A walk over this bridge in a cold and windy winter was not very tempting at the first phase but the amazing landscapes on the other side of the bridge was a real attraction in inviting the many tourists across every day.

If we go through the history about the struggles and achievements of the human development, it can be claimed that all the determinations are a strong bridge for a continuous journey to keep ourselves moving ahead for the sake of unseen luck and happiness in the horizon.

Every day we encounter many good and bad incidents, some of them can be very demotivating and frustrating as well  but we never stop thinking about tomorrow,  as we know that after a hard winter, a pleasing summer is always there to comfort and rejoice our daily lives.

Thanks to the human ability of acceptance, adjustment and tolerance in both pleasing and unpleasing nature and temperature beyond the comfort zone!

This is not just a beautiful season of the nature but also a true  reason for enduring a tough  winter every year in search of a heavenly natural charm

 Regardless of many challenges, struggles, and seasonal obstacles, the evolution of the human civilization, the achievements of  today's modern generation clearly highlight the contribution of nature in offering a significantly positive and negative reason throughout the seasons.

Honestly speaking, just making resolutions on the very first day of the new calendar year may not be sufficient to accomplish our all the dreams, but being positive, having good thoughts and new hope is definitely a true reason to continue our life journey in every season.

 Since every human life is created in the nature, by the nature and for the nature, it may sound sensible to say that every season has its own reason! Nature is beautiful when it is natural.  Every festival celebration is a reason to get new hope in our life. Life can hardly be interesting without dreams. Every journey is worth travelling only when we learn to survive on our own in the nature.

 Nature is beautiful when its natural!

Let's dream something nice and positive to continue a more exciting journey in a new season of  the year 2019 !
