To everything there is a season, a time to be born, a time to die, a time to plant, and a time to pluck up that which is planted, a time to kill and a time to heal, a time to break down and a time to build up.

A quote from Ecclesiasties 3.1-1-8.

In this episode, we're going to be talking about how life unfolds in chapters and in phases.

which we're going to call here the limbo phase, that's number one. Number two is the

starting phase. Number three is the middle, and number four is the end. So we're going to talk a lot about these different phases and what they

look like and what you should do and the various traps that you might fall

into with with each stage.

So just to briefly summarize them for you here.

The limbo stage is a time of inaction, where you feel lost,

where you need to decompress and you need to heal and think things through.

So this is a period of isolation. The starting phase is when you find a new sense of direction in your life and now this is the time where you start to take action and start to build momentum.

Then once that's concluded that leads into the middle or sort of the peak of the

cycle and the peak is when you're really hitting your stride you're building a

lot of momentum and you're in the zone and you're getting success.

And that's sort of the maximum that you reach.

And then it starts to go downhill from there,
