On the Cycle of Life

I wrote  this piece like a month ago, but when the day came for me to post it, I could not believe a single word of it. I thought that when things are really the worst, you can not just think that it will get anybetter. Again, I was wrong. It did pass. There is a quote I like by the long-dead philosopher Heraclitus that says, “the only constant in life is change.” It is impossible for us to stay the same because we are the sum of the interactions that happen to us. Even if we did, the world is still spinning, hence we are inherently changing. Although we can not control it change is a sign of progress too. When we pick up new habits or try different ways of doing things means that an improvement is happening, not an indication of instability or indecision, as I once believed. Now, since we established that change is an essential part of life and it is happening with or without us, let’s use it to our benefit using this phrase: “IT WILL PASS.” This sentence has the key to life, in my opinion. It can work in every possible situation that happens to us in a weird way, so I will end this post with how and think of previous events that apply. Maybe it will work for you too. First, in "impossible to get out of" situations for obvious reasons. Second, in the best moments of your life. Knowing that this happy moment will eventually pass enables us to savor every single second of it, so when thinking about the latter, you will have no regrets. And in betweens.
