Everything is impermanent.
Cherry blossoms, sandcastles, and course, life itself — all come to an end.
It is because of this quality that life is so very precious.
Our moment-to-moment awareness lets us experience and celebrate the wonders of our lives with gratitude and grace.
What is something impermanent that you are grateful for?
Why?
What do weekends, holidays, vacations, and happy times have in common?
What do colds, the flu, Mondays, and boring meetings have in common?
What does the first list have in common with the second?
If your answer was that they all come and go, do not last, or that, in mindfulness terms, they are impermanent, you are correct.
Whether you are happy that certain events occurred, or are sad they have come to an end, the law of impermanence is something of which you can be certain.
How can you apply the law of impermanence in your personal or professional worlds in the days and weeks ahead? How might that maximize the Ups and minimize the Downs of life?
