Everything can and will change in an instant

Everything can and will change in an instant.

There is so little in this life that we really have control over. Plan, organize, execute, strive, reach goals, and in the blink of an eye it can all change, for better or for worse.

In this life we have to get good at change and all that it can encompass. It really is the only thing that is certain. Many people, and I was one of them, sit and wait for that perfect moment to be happy. If this happens then I will feel better, if only I could have this, that would make me happy.

The ocean doesn't wait for the sand to be ready for the tides to change.. the ocean has ebbs and flow and is constantly changing.. the water and the sand accept each other when the timing is right, they have no control over the flow.

When the wind blows through the branches of the trees, what happens? The tree does not resist the motion in the wind, for if it did the branches would break in the struggle. Instead the tree bends with the wind and the air blows through the leaves in harmony.

A bird soars with the air currents. It could fly against it but would exhaust itself and eventually learn that it is a much more peaceful flight to spread it's wings and let the current take it where it is going.

Learn to accept the change. Get adaptable. For life and love are constantly changing and if you are going to find any peace in it all you must find peace in the shifting winds.
