You may feel cautious when making decisions regarding your life situation today. Your hesitation could be due to your worry that you might lose the things that you have been given in your life. Reflecting upon the concept of impermanence today might help you realize that everything in life that comes will also soon pass. While at first this may seem like a bleak idea, if you turn your thoughts over fully to the notion of impermanence, you could soon find comfort in the knowledge that everything always changes. Perhaps you can consider some time in your life when things weren't going as planned. Looking back at that time, you might see that eventually your life worked out, even if it wasn't as you expected. Seeing your life in this way may help you understand that being attached to what you believe to be secure can in fact limit you instead of opening you up to new possibilities.

Understanding that everything in life changes allows us to see that our worry over the future only takes us away from the joy of the present. Everything in our life will come to pass in some form or another. Holding onto what we think is permanent only serves to hold us back from fully enjoying everything that we have been given. By letting go of your need to cling to things today, you will become liberated from your fears and see that the only thing that is certain in your life is the beauty of the present moment.
