Keep Going. This Too Shall Pass.<\/a><\/h3>\n<\/header>\n

Like the weather when a storm approaches, or as the seasons turn, or waves pounding on a shoreline, any deviations are measured and compared by speed and intensity.\u00a0 The same can be said for headlines:\u00a0 Omnibus, discouraged Deplorables, rumors of war, prospects of peace, economic bubbles, fluctuating markets, and political intrigue.\u00a0 Round and round it goes; when it ends, nobody knows. It\u2019s a time of transition; and when traveling over mountaintops, through valleys, and on rough seas, no one has all of the answers.<\/p>\n

Even when looking at maps.<\/p>\n

The books, \u201cGenerations<\/em>\u201d<\/a> (1992) and \u201cThe Fourth Turning<\/em>\u201c<\/a> (1997), were written by the historians William Strauss and Neil Howe. These recent explorers identified recorded cycles of history and categorized them across multiple cultures and eras.\u00a0 In both books, historical timelines were analyzed and populations were correlated to specific life-cycles labeled as generational types<\/em>.\u00a0 Strauss and Howe additionally addressed the concept of time in the context of both circular and linear perspectives and defined what is called a \u201csaeculum<\/em>\u201d as a \u201clong human life\u201d measuring roughly 80 to 90 years.\u00a0 Every saeculum<\/em> is comprised of four turnings, each lasting around 20 years.<\/p>\n

Just as there are four seasons consisting of spring<\/em>, summer<\/em>, fall<\/em> and winter<\/em>, there are also four phases of a human life represented in childhood<\/em>, young adulthood<\/em>, middle age<\/em> and elderhood<\/em>.\u00a0 As each phase of human life represents approximately 20 years, so is each generational archetype identified within the historical cycles<\/em>, or turnings<\/em>, as follows.<\/p>\n
