Embrace change as a natural part of life from "summary" of Art of Living by Epictetus,Sharon Lebell
In life, change is inevitable. Just as the seasons change and the tide ebbs and flows, so too does our own existence. To resist change is to resist the very nature of life itself. Instead of fighting against the current, we must learn to embrace it as a natural part of our journey. When we resist change, we create unnecessary suffering for ourselves. We cling to the past, to what is familiar and comfortable, even if it no longer serves us. This resistance only serves to hold us back, preventing us from growing and evolving as individuals. We must learn to let go of our attachments to the way things were and open ourselves up to the possibilities of what could be. Change can be frightening, that is true. It can disrupt our sense of stability and security, leaving us feeling vulnerable and unsure. But without change, there can be no growth. It is through change that we are able to learn, to adapt, and to become more resilient. We must see change not as a threat, but as an opportunity for growth and transformation. Just as a tree sheds its leaves in the fall, making way for new growth in the spring, so too must we let go of what no longer serves us in order to make room for new opportunities and experiences. Change is not something to be feared, but rather something to be embraced with an open heart and mind. By accepting change as a natural part of life, we can learn to flow with the rhythm of the universe rather than against it. We can find peace and contentment in the knowledge that change is simply a part of the beautiful tapestry of life, weaving together the threads of our experiences and shaping us into who we are meant to be.
