The challenges of life often appear overwhelming because we perceive them as permanent or defining. A setback in work, a strained relationship, or an unforeseen difficulty may seem like an endless storm. But when we step back and remind ourselves that this too shall pass, the weight of suffering begins to lift. Just as seasons change, so do hardships.
By embracing transience, we cultivate resilience. Instead of resisting change, we flow with it, knowing that every challenge carries a lesson, and every sorrow is followed by renewal. This perspective shifts our focus from fear to faith, from anxiety to acceptance. It allows us to detach from unnecessary worries and remain stable, no matter what unfolds.
Happiness is not found in controlling circumstances but in understanding their fleeting nature. When we stop clinging to pain and expectations, we make room for peace to settle within. The waves of life may continue to rise and fall, but when we embrace their impermanence, we remain steady—calm, content, and free. - From the desk of Nitima, who takes creative writing classes from children and adults.
