Nothing lasts forever.

Everything changes, everything ends, and everything fades away. The people you love, the things you enjoy, the memories you cherish, they will all eventually be gone.

Nothing’s forever, forever’s a lie. All we have is what’s between hello and goodbye.

Life is a cycle, always in motion, if good times have moved on, so will times of trouble.

To live without being affected by this truth of life, comes easily to us, at least in the early years and such ignorance is blissful, as otherwise we will lead a life full of stress and ambiguity, with no eagerness, interest, hope or meaning.

As otherwise everything that comes up before us, be it an opportunity or chance, will incite only one feeling – what’s the point?

It won’t last.

A lot depends on, how we view this unchanging reality of life. Some believe it makes our life hopeless, and some think it’s the same thing that makes it magical.

Nothing lasts, but it also means nothing remains. If we think deeply, it may mean many things – Nothing remains, everything changes, everything transforms or evolves, pain ends and pleasure returns, so on and so forth.

What do you think about this unchangeable truth?

?Does it scare you or does it motivate you?

Either ways, we don’t have much of a choice, as life moves on and we move on with it.

The question however is, how often do we think in these terms about life, and can such a consideration transform our lives for the better.

Do you know you were converting oxygen to Carbon Dioxide physically while reading this answer?

Yes, you know. But did you actually concentrate, trying to observe every inhale and exhale?

No. You just ignored it because it happens with and without your notice.

Same goes with life. Imagine you have few candies. And naturally, they come with an expiry date.

What do you do?

Eat them before they are rotten. So enjoy things while you still have.

Love people while they still are living.

Enjoy the present.

There is no time to worry.

Just live the moment.

I now understand what you have been saying. Today I noticed myself brimming with anger and blame. Anxiety was building up, alongside.

I did a few belly breaths and asked myself, ‘what is my anger and anxiety trying to tell me?’

A part of sadness showed up. Some jealousy showed up and along came fear of unknown. When I was able to name it, I was able to feel it. And when I was able to feel it, the anger slowly melted and anxiety just dropped!

We have spent a good part of our lives, avoiding pain. And hence we learned that all the painful feelings are to be avoided.

The power of being able to feel your feelings, is enormous. Clarity, courage, deep inner strength and resilience are just some aspects of this power.

The things that mean a lot to us eventually cease to exist. The people in our lives, however dear, depart one day, and the precise moment when it would happen is also unknown to us. Who knows, we may leave before they do.

Youth fades, beauty is replaced, feelings change, and the list is endless.

Deeply scary, isn’t it?

Is there a brighter side to this?

Change is something that keeps things from becoming dull, or repetitive. There is so much beauty in everything, but if we are continuously exposed to it, then the appreciation of everything will end and repulsion will take its place.

Also the fixation with the past can minimize your zest for life.

For example, how about seeing the grace that comes with old age and experience, rather than fretting over wrinkles?

As far as people are concerned, surely this kind of a mystery can be only solved after meeting death itself, but one can be sure that the final revelation of this mystery will not be bleak, as nothing is absolute in life and every mystery ends in a climax that is both, light and dark.

Do you want to add a word or two?....

Change is the only constant in life.

Things cease to be in their present form, take a new form. Old gives way to new.

Stagnancy can appear peaceful but growth is the nature of nature. What may look like decay, end, or let’s say death, is only a transformation.

Surprisingly even in stagnancy, saturation, rest, or peace, things are constantly changing on a deeper level, as we know, everything is energy and energy always changes forms.

It is nothing but change, that makes everything eternal, but as the bigger picture does not reveal itself immediately, we get unsettled.

Your comments ….

This too shall pass

This age old truth can bring such a relief in time of distress.

Life can bring a lot of pain at times. Even on a day to day basis we go through so much irritation, anger, fear, guilt, or insecurity. Despite the fact that our feelings, moods, and thoughts keep changing, we keep vacillating throughout the day.

?Sometimes from one extreme to another.

It’s useful to remember that, getting lost to the negative feelings repeatedly, can make things go out of proportion.

So it pays to be patient when things get tough, as they too shall pass like everything else.

Absolute attachment towards possessions and the continuous desire to accumulate and acquire more and more can become a serious impediment in life. An obsessive need to get more can only get us less.

Although how much one should possess can be quite subjective, one should be careful not to be greedy.

Why not share some of our gifts with others?

They need not always be of material importance, but even the gift of attention, advice, a friendly push, can be useful, if given at the right time.

There is only so much time, so why not be selective about things. For what you may have today, will change ownership someday.

Enjoy the gifts that every moment may bring to you, as your time is limited.
