A SLICE OF LIFE - Keep On Moving!

If there's one great truth in this life, it's that nothing lasts forever.
Everything is in a state of flux and undulation. We are born, we die. The day gives way to night, and the night gives way to day. We inhale, then exhale. The storm hits, then passes.

When we are hurt and depressed though, it can feel as though the darkness will never lift. Life feels like a burden. If we allow ourselves to believe this, and keep ourselves buried in this subterranean emotional plane, naturally the air will thin and we'll never know any light. But if we understand that this is just a phase, if we keep reaching up, digging towards the surface, we'll soon be above ground.

Of course, happiness too, doesn't last... joys lead to sorrows, which go on to lead to other joys. And when what gives us joy leaves or passes, again we experience sorrow. True peace in life doesn't lie in being constantly happy. It's in the deeper appreciation of happiness while it lasts, the acceptance of the sadness when it goes, and the knowledge that the sadness too, will pass, and we will find new happiness.

Whatever "negative" thought or emotion that's afflicting you at the moment, remember it's only temporary. Gravitate towards the goals that you still have, the people and things that can still give you joy.

The important thing is not to stay stuck. Tell yourself "This too will pass" and keep on moving.
