‘The bad news is nothing lasts forever. The good news is nothing lasts forever.’
Yes, nothing lasts forever. And no matter how hard it may be to accept that, you don’t really have another option.
Well.. you do have one: non-acceptance. But if you choose that, you will only make things harder for yourself. And very likely, for others as well.
Acceptance is the key to inner peace. Accept life and all that it brings, accept yourself as you are, and accept those around you as they are.
You cannot change any of this, except yourself. And when you change, everything around you shifts in some way. You affect people differently. Your life changes. Your perspective changes.
Inner peace is a foundation for health, especially mental health. And good health is a foundation for a good life. And that, in my opinion, is the greatest success.
Nothing is promised. Not even this life. Not even tomorrow.
And I don’t know if that sounds scary or beautiful.. or if there is something beautiful in that scary truth.
Because life is not promised, yet we live as if it is.
So when you wake up in the morning, be grateful. There are people who didn’t get that chance.
Life is not easy, I know. But it is simple. It is people who complicate it.
Try not to complicate things. Try to accept what life brings you, as if it was meant for you.
Even when you are going through a difficult period. We all go through them. Even when it hurts. We have all felt pain, and we will feel it again. It is part of life.
And this should not serve as comfort, nor as a reason to compare yourself to others, but rather as a way to help you accept yourself, your emotions, and all the challenges and lessons life brings.
Because nothing lasts forever.
And then.. that beautiful moment will come. I know you will want it to last forever. But it won’t. Not because you have ‘cursed’ it, but because that is life.. beautiful moments, and less beautiful ones.
Life keeps moving. Nothing lasts forever.
Don’t take life too seriously.. but be serious when your life is at stake, in the sense of being responsible.
Don’t take life too seriously.. why would you? Nothing lasts forever, not even life. So try to live it as lightly and as beautifully as you can.
As I said, acceptance is the key. And you are the one who decides what is bad and what is good news for you. If you don’t label things, but simply accept them, you will make life easier for yourself.
This isn’t the only text. But today, it might be enough.
