Change

Nothing lasts forever…..  Not happiness.  Not love.  Not life itself.  And not even sadness, as furiously as it so often tries.  Transience rules supreme, and temporariness ultimately carries the day.  The only thing that truly lasts forever is change…..variance…..instability…..unpredictability.  In light of this fact, never get settled too comfortably into an embarrassingly pleasing lifestyle, and don’t ever fret too egregiously about a bad twist of fate either; neither situation will last indefinitely.  Life is an obstacle course strewn with multiple barriers along its way, but there are unfailingly a multitude of convenient open spaces and rest-stops located between the various obstacles.  Take full advantage of these guaranteed respites before the next barrier unexpectedly pops up.  Avoid emotional peaks and valleys, and you’ll be able to enjoy life–both the bright spots as well as the rough spots–considerably more than if you blithely ride the crests of life without acknowledging its inevitable troughs.
