Embrace change as a natural part of life from "summary" of The Art of Peace by Morihei Ueshiba
Change is an intrinsic aspect of life, an inevitable force that shapes our existence. To resist change is to fight against the very essence of life itself. Change is constant, flowing like a river, shaping and reshaping the landscape of our lives. Embracing change allows us to move with the current of life, rather than against it. By accepting change as a natural part of life, we open ourselves up to new possibilities, experiences, and growth. In the ebb and flow of life, change is like the tide, rising and falling, bringing both challenges and opportunities. Just as a tree bends with the wind, we must learn to adapt and flow with the changes that come our way. Resisting change only leads to stagnation and suffering, while embracing change allows us to evolve and expand our horizons. Like a martial artist learning to move with the energy of their opponent, we must learn to move with the energy of change. Change can be unsettling, even frightening at times. It requires us to let go of old ways of thinking and being, to step into the unknown. But it is in this space of uncertainty that we find our true strength and resilience. By embracing change, we cultivate a sense of openness and flexibility, allowing us to navigate the ever-shifting currents of life with grace and ease. In the practice of Aikido, we learn to harmonize with the energy of our opponent, to blend and redirect their force rather than meeting it head-on. Similarly, in life, we must learn to harmonize with the energy of change, to flow with its rhythm and direction. By embracing change as a natural part of life, we cultivate a mindset of resilience and adaptability, allowing us to thrive in the face of adversity. Change is not something to be feared or avoided, but rather embraced as an integral part of our journey through life. In the words of the founder of Aikido, Morihei Ueshiba, "To be enlightened is to be like the sun, embracing all things with warmth and light." Let us embrace change with the same warmth and light, allowing it to illuminate our path and guide us towards greater understanding and harmony.
