Pursuing Your Ever-Changing Passion
There is no One True Way or One True *Insert notion here* because change is a constant.
Life is in a constant state of flux. Stagnation and stillness only truly exist in death, so you are always moving in some way or other.
You are growing, evolving, learning, experiencing, and ultimately changing. In fact, change is one of the very few constants in the entire Universe.
Change is inevitable. Yet many people are utterly terrified of change. It frightens people into being close-minded, manipulated by various leaders, educators, gurus, and pundits, and making choices that actually cause them more harm than good.
If you learn instead to embrace change and see it as an opportunity rather than adversity, you can learn to work with it. Rather than resist change, you can work with it and use mindfulness to recognize its impact upon you, and your ability to influence and/or control it.
Why does this matter? Because you are constantly being sold on this idea that there is One True Way and similar notions. Be it your “soul mate,” your passion for a career or other activity, or means to get from point ‘a’ to point ‘b’, change means that there will, ultimately, be many ways and means.
In other words, there is more than one way to skin a cat.
