"Nothing is permanent." Such a simple statement may actually carry the most peace. Coming to the realization that everything in our world is temporary- including emotions, time, and even people, allows us to embrace the good and better bear the bad.
It's challenging to accept and embrace the temporary. On the other hand, it's easy to get wrapped up in our struggles that seem earth shattering at the time. But that's just the thing, they only seem "earth shattering." Yes, life is stressful sometimes; and yes, life doesn't always go as planned. The truth is, though, even the worst of heartaches are eased over time. The ever so famous phrase, "this too shall pass" should really be "this too WILL pass" because the only thing promised in life is change.
Living in a world without permanency increases the value in everything. When we fully grasp the fact that this life is ever-changing, we begin to appreciate things we once took for granted. All of a sudden, spending time with loved ones, or simply enjoying a cup of coffee, means a lot more because we realize things could change in a blink of an eye. So let us use this as a reminder to stay focused on the present, before it becomes a memory.
Time is fleeting, let's make the most of it.
