Recognize and Embrace How Change Makes Rather than Takes Everything?
What change makes is literally everything.
There is only one constant in the entire Universe. Change.
Change will always happen. Sometimes it is so glacially slow and microscopically small that it seems not to be happening. Other times it’s cataclysmic, sudden, and ginormous. Either way — change is. It’s constant, unstoppable, and ineffable.
Without change — nothing we know would be.
In the words of Marcus Aurelius,
“Is any man afraid of change? Why what can take place without change? What then is more pleasing or more suitable to the universal nature? And canst thou take a bath unless the wood undergoes a change? And canst thou be nourished, unless the food undergoes a change? And can anything else that is useful be accomplished without change? Dost thou not see then that for thyself also to change is just the same, and equally necessary for the universal nature.”
In other words — without change, we wouldn’t be. What change makes is literally everything — tangible or intangible.
Every single human being on Earth exists because of change. The sperm and the ovum merged and changed, grew, and evolved into you and me. Without that change, we’d not be.
