Impermanence rules everything. Nothing lasts forever. Even the best stories end. At some point everything will end. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Recognizing the impermanence of life teaches you not to cling to the good or run from the bad. But to make room for change. When we get stuck in a moment, life feels short.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
You become arrogant when you, and ignorant when you fail.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n
External events, achievements or possessions do not define you. Life is ephemeral\u200a – \u200aeverything comes and goes. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Landing a great job does not make you superior. Losing it does not make you a failure either. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Life is like water\u200a – \u200ait is always moving and transforming from one state to another.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The river is alive\u200a – \u200ait is constantly flowing. You are transforming all the time too.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Resisting impermanence causes unnecessary suffering. The things that are supposed to make you happy become your trap.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
You cling to things. Nothing feels good enough. You are not satisfied. You want to make permanent what is continually changing.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The struggle with impermanence causes most of your suffering\u200a – you do not want things to change. You wish them to be different.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
However, expectations drive disappointment\u200a – you become anxious, frustrated and stressed out.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Embrace impermanence – \u200abecause nothing lasts forever<\/p><\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n
You must embrace, not just overcome, impermanence. Appreciate and enjoy that life is fluid.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Think of what you can gain instead of what is gone. Impermanence is the driver of change -\u200a\u200ait can be refreshing and renewing.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
