change is coming

change is coming


some people believe that life is, and that you are what you are. but life is not and neither are you. i don't say this in an attempt to confuse you, but rather as a starting point for the premise that we really have no idea as to what life is, nor do we know who we are.

most people understand that they can and do change from moment to moment. they also realize that who they are can be altered easily, either by their own determination or by happenstance. life, on other other hand, turns out to be a rolling snowball that can be difficult to alter in direction or form.
i don't intend to infer that you can't make a difference in the lives others. i am only saying that it is to change yourself. the world goes on, appearing to some to never change, while others see life as constantly changing. the truth is that change, whether we want it or not, is inevitable. how things will change is the continuous mystery. Generally, we cannot predict whether a change will be good or bad for us as individuals, but often find that what is good for the goose is not necessarily good for the gander, as there is a yin and yang to all things.
some will reap the benefits and some will pay the piper.
even that which appears wrong ultimately may create the results for which we strive. it is the pursuit of happiness and not necessarily prosperity that we should be seeking, as, by not, most of us have discovered that money does not buy happiness, although some say it can be rented for awhile. and, of course, there's the old adage that if you don't think money can buy happiness, you just don't know where to shop.
I do know, however, that even though I accept life for what it is and myself for what i am, that i should continually strive to do and be better, therefore as we move forward, never forget that, "this too shall pass," both the good and the bad.
the times are changing , so hang on for the ride.if you live your life as you should, you are much better that i.
my intentions are good, but staying the course is not always easy, as i find i can resist anything except temptation. someday, that may change too.
