Nothing Lasts forever...

Not long ago, I was going through a low time personally, Though deep in my heart I knew that was just a phase which will last for a while, I found it very difficult to get in terms with the pain. I usually give time for things to settle down whenever I go through such a lean phase. It took a weeks’ time to come out of it the anxiety. But successfully I could get over it and get back to normalcy. After few months when I looked back at that particular matter, it sounded very puerile that I went through such a pain for something which was temporary. Life is made up of Mountains and valleys. We get frightened when we are up on the mountain looking at the deep valley. When we reach the valley, we look upon the hilltop and again get terrified about the path which is ahead of us to reach the top. We never realize the fact the experience of mountain or the valleys lasts only for a short time.

Joy or sorrow, pain or peace, fight or harmony, love 0r hatred, everything which our lives revolve around are momentary. When we go through testing times lets remember there’s always a reward waiting for us if only, we perceive for a little more. Most of the times we are hell bent on reacting to the situation, which makes things worse. Let’s learn to be patient till the tumult gets stable.

A decade ago, depression was thought to be a serious mental illness which was scarce, but now we hear the word depression from every other person we meet. It’s because most of us start dwelling at the epicenter of the storm. If we understand the concept of impermanent nature of our life, we will definitely foresee the peace beyond that storm.

Simple example is, if we just observe a day and the natural activities it holds, we would understand our life better. As the day starts we wake up in the morning with a sun rise, same sun at noon comes straight over our head and in the evening, it goes to the other pole and the moon rises. If one single day can hold so many diverse activities how much our life can. So, my folks when it is morning lets enjoy the breeze, at the noon, turn your face towards the sun let the shadows fall behind and when it is evening may the sky excite us. Life is amazing… moon, sun and the stars, bright blue sky at the day and the star-studded night sky are the wonderful works of God, so are our lives. Let’s embrace the fact that "nothing lasts forever, not even our troubles"…
