If you have hit a state in life where even the cutest baby smile won’t even cheer you up, know this……
This too shall pass.
If you’ve just broken up and your heart still pounds with such volume of hurt you sometimes can’t breathe, remember this…
This too shall pass.
If you just hit the all-time financial low and will probably have to cut your gym membership and even move to a smaller place…
This too shall pass.
This simple 4 letter phrase is probably one of the most important sentences you should be aware of. The Buddhists believe that life is an ever evolving, impermanent state of flow. Change happens as we speak of it; the sun today is different from the sun tomorrow; a bowl of stagnant water is reduced in clarity or level even when left untouched; and even your body changes with every breath you take.
The moment you understand this concept of impermanence, the easier it will be for you to see all the upheavals and downfalls in life are just a state of the current situation and that one fine day…it too will surely pass.
Acknowledging impermanence and practicing it in your daily life will help you understand that the only way bad things will go away is if you understand it will not be staying for too long. When you realize that, you will automatically and unconsciously work in ways that will accelerate the ‘going away process’ of such a situation.
Let’s say that you are broke and have been surviving on cold potatoes because you somehow or rather didn’t manage to pay for gas before your money ran out. it too will surely pass}.
This makes the entire situation easier to endure. You stop lamenting about it. You stop wondering or groaning about it. You carry this hope and believe that it will soon be gone and it’s true! Once you believe that things will change, you create the manifestation of change. It’s really that simple.
Believing in impermanence is the start to the manifestation of change.
To be fair, this also works the other way around. Even the best of times will eventually come to an end. A fantastic movie will always have to end with the credits. A blissful lasting marriage will eventually end with death. A wonderful career will gradually reach its peak and retirement will be eminent.
The phrase “good times never last” is cynical yet so true. But just by ackowledging that, you are better prepared when things do take a dip. You will also begin to appreciate the good times more, simply because you understand the basic life concept that everything will pass.
