making transitions

We all know the only constant thing in life is change. But what does that mean? It means the best skill to have is a knack for transitions. Why? Because transitions are occurring every second, and never stop. Nothing is the same from one moment to the next.

That's a very big statement. Nothing is the same from one moment to the next. Nothing. If we look for an exception to this rule, we don't find one directly. The only thing we find is more things that are changing. But looking is brilliant for making that clear.

The clearer it is, the better we are at making transitions. They become second nature. We expect them all the time. We expect them right now. Our openness to them has a samurai's clarity. It is not a question of when, but a pledge of whenever.

Why not make one yourself? Why not open to change as deeply and daringly as you can? You don't need to wreak havoc in the name of it. You simply sit back and get it that change is every step. That way when it comes, you step right along with it.

The alternative is less agreeable. It's the heartache that follows when we push change away. We can learn to recognize that feeling. We can see for it what it is, which transforms it into gold. Then it's no longer pain, but reliable feedback, asking us to grow.

Are we willing to do it? That willingness is the paramount skill in a world based on change. If you have it, you're happy, and happiness seeks you out. If you lack it, you're not, and you can't catch a break. Why not let these words in and catch one right here?
