Accepting Change: Timeless Wisdom sustains us

I keep telling whoever crosses my path that it is not how much one has but what one does with what one has is the route to happiness. I follow this norm and so there is always a spring in my step

Very hard. Almost no way.

What helps me are my beliefs that one day there will be a better life and a better world where I can spend eternity. This hope helps me to adapt and to endure until I get there. Each day taht passes is one day closer to that glorious life.

We can find happy moments even in the most dark times of our life. The important is to stay positive.

I worry, even though it does no good. My husband is my solace, as are my sons, who help me get through each day as it comes. We've had a horrible year, but time does heal.

I have many things that get me through, one at the top of the list is saying, This too shall pass. It is very true.

what a lovely post.. I wait for the day when i will be one with my maker.. we are just travelers in this planet.. journeying through life and in a moment we shall pass from this life to the next.. awesome.

Certainly we need to be able to adapt to the differing life challenges that continually turn up to try us.

I have never liked change. I prefer to chase the timeless wisdom instead. Why do we need change, tests, etc, given we will go to Heaven, does change happen there too? What is the point of change? Does anyone, including God, know what the final change will turn us into? Is there a final change, or is change the only constant, going on for eternity, as they say? I think that life itself is never about the change, which is merely cosmetic. Life is about how we handle the perceived changes going on, and if we ever realise that these changes are merely waves moving on an ocean, which itself never changes. The ocean only changes those in it, around it, or affected by it. The ocean itself never changes. Fundamentally, it always stays the same. We need to stay immersed in the ocean, and so realise within the ocean, that the ocean itself never does change. Nothing outside of the ocean really exists. God is the ocean. God never changes, and really, neither do we. It is all an illusion, this change, though a pretty good one to be sure. And yet, there is a paradox working here too. Each wave has been a different state of the ocean being experienced by it. There are infinite stages. These cosmetic rearrangements are what we mistake as being change. Maybe they are. They must achieve some type of a purpose for God. God likes to flex his muscles then and move through different costumes in his wardrobe it seems, perhaps because he became bored in his eternity of no-time, or timelessness. The changeless God embraced change then, but sadly to only find himself still unchanged. Changes changes nothing.

Like you I know this will pass too.

I always try to go with the flo. I am not kidding myself tho, aging is not a barrel of laughs. Hope I will be graceful about it as my beloved saintly Mama was RIP

When is hard i hope will be better. As you said in life, there are ups and downs.
