EMBRACING CHANGE

Sometimes change comes in the blink of an eye. Our internal narrators may agree it is for the better, or think it’s for the worse. But we cannot avoid change.

Of the many things will change over the course of you life, there is just one thing that will never change: awareness. The constant point of perception that you are is unchanging. In this world of polarities (we consider “up” in relation to “down,” or “hot” in relation to “cold”), we can only recognize change because of this part of ourselves that does not change.

Loving life unconditionally means knowing that life can shift without warning, just as the wind changes direction, but the strength of our own intent allows us to not only adapt to whatever life brings but also to thrive in our new circumstances.

Practice

Be in the present moment, continuously flowing with life, remembering that you are the constant in every second. Every change that occurs is happening “for you” instead of “to you.”

Living a Life of Awareness
