And because I know that cycles are natural, I can better accept the fact that I’m being tried once again. It means IThe world is full of cycles. Some of the most obvious are those related to time: day and night, the beginning and ending of years, the seasons. There is the cycle of rain falling from the sky, soaking into the earth, flowing into streams, lakes, and the ocean, evaporating, forming clouds, and falling again. There is the cycle of birth and death. And there can be cycles of adversity and peace. Cycles are natural, and understanding them can help us accept their realty, prepare for them, and use them to our advantage.

One example of using the knowledge of cycles to advantage is buying and holding stock even when the market is bad and prices dip. The stock market goes up and the stock market goes down, but overall, its average path over time is upward. If my stocks are worth ten cents today, next year they may be worth a dollar. Then they may drop to fifty cents, then rise to $1.20. A few months later they may fall to seventy cents, then increase to $1.35. In other words, as time progresses the dips in general aren’t as low as they used to be.
