Spring time is for new leafs and new opportunities.

Summer time is for growing and becoming stronger.

Autumn time is for letting go and preparing.

Winter time is for rest, peace, and solitude.

don't be discouraged by a cutback, as new things will grow 

the pruning process can be uncomfortable and painful, but you'll be much stronger in the end

bend before you break, everything will be okay.

bloom where you are planted, you were meant to be there.

Sometimes we need to shed our old parts to produce a plentiful harvest of success.
