Wayne Dyer
There's nothing quite like the calm that follows the storm. This morning's stillness is perfect. Beautiful. This weather as of late is a perfect metaphor for life. The calm, like the storms, is to be respected and honored. All things change. All the time. Nothing is the same as it was yesterday, last week, last year. It's impossible. Even our bodies themselves undergo a complete renewal every seven years. Every single cell after seven years is completely different, changed. It's simply the nature of things.
If something isn't going the way you've planned - embrace it. Fully. If you're elated at the bliss of your life - embrace it. Fully. But don't hold too tightly. Because it's already changing. It's just the nature of things. Our job, as far as I can tell, is to retain equanimity amidst all the changes. To be the calm at the eye of the storm, and the peace that follows the storm. To let it all happen, all the changes, without resisting or clinging too tightly. To honor all the ups, and the downs, with the same respect. Knowing, that this too shall change. The same is true if you are viewing a situation with eyes of the past. Give your head a shake. The past is gone. It's finished. Open your eyes and see the truth of what is now.
