It can be hard to accept changes in life. Ilchi Lee says that “transience is the most general phenomenon of the cosmos. Change is the only changeless reality. Seasons, livelihoods, personal relationships–all of these will change. Our experiences in life are transient and relative. Only death is certain, completing the cycle of life that begins with birth. By meditation upon this truth, we recognize that we, too, are manifestations of transience.”
It makes me feel more humble and a little sad when I read these words, but also it makes me feel very free. If you think about it deeply, every second of our existence we are changing, because we are growing, we are aging. To try and stop that can seem kind of silly. I want to embrace all the changes and have a really flexible mind.
