It pays to be open and fluid like water, because life will change no matter what and we will change with it. But sometimes the changes do not become apparent to us immediately and are revealed only in times of real need. What about little things, do they change us?Īs long as we continue to observe everything around us, we are sure to come across a newer perspective, a different take or a fresh attitude even on little things. “No man ever steps in the same river twice, for it’s not the same river and he’s not the same man.” ― HeraclitusĮvery profound experience is sure to change us profoundly. For what you may have today, will change ownership someday.Įnjoy the gifts that every moment may bring to you, as your time is limited. There is only so much time, so why not be selective about things. 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. An obsessive need to get more can only get us less.Īlthough how much one should possess can be quite subjective, one should be careful not to be greedy. “We have nothing that is really our own we hold everything as a loan.” ― Nicolas PoussinĪbsolute attachment towards possessions and the continuous desire to accumulate and acquire more and more can become a serious impediment in life. So it pays to be patient when things get tough, as they too shall pass like everything else.Īlso read: 50 calming quotes that will calm your anger down. It’s useful to remember that, getting lost to the negative feelings repeatedly, can make things go out of proportion.
Despite the fact that our feelings, moods, and thoughts keep changing, we keep vacillating throughout the day. Even on a day to day basis we go through so much irritation, anger, fear, guilt, or insecurity. This age old truth can bring such a relief in time of distress. It is nothing but change, that makes everything eternal, but as the bigger picture does not reveal itself immediately, we get unsettled. 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. What may look like decay, end, or let’s say death, is only a transformation. Stagnancy can appear peaceful but growth is the nature of nature. Things cease to be in their present form, take a new form. “Nothing endures but change.” ― Heraclitus For example, how about seeing the grace that comes with old age and experience, rather than fretting over wrinkles?Īs 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. 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.Īlso the fixation with the past can minimize your zest for life. Deeply scary, isn’t it?Ĭhange is something that keeps things from becoming dull, or repetitive. Youth fades, beauty is replaced, feelings change, and the list is endless. The people in our lives, however dear, depart one day, and the precise moment when it would happen is also unknown to us. The things that mean a lot to us eventually cease to exist. “The bad news – nothing lasts forever and the good news – nothing lasts forever” They will force us to dig deeper in our psyche, to understand what we think about this unchanging truth of our lives. Here are some quotes that may start such an inquiry within us. 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. What do you think about this unchangeable truth? Does it scare you or does it motivate you?Įither ways, we don’t have much of a choice, as life moves on and we move on with it. 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. Nothing lasts, but it also means nothing remains. Some believe it makes our life hopeless, and some think it’s the same thing that makes it magical.
#Timeless beauty age and beauty quotes full
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.Īs 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.Ī lot depends on, how we view this unchanging reality of life.
A lot has been written about the ephemeral nature of life and everything in it.
