Life Changes Everything

My wise partner has a friend who has suffered some incredible challenges in his life. At the end of a story about him she simply said,

“Life changes everything.”

This idea is striking. We aren’t the same people we were 10 years ago, life sees to that. We are changed by our experiences, we evolve because we have no choice. And if we pay attention to ourselves (meditation is a wonderful way to do this!) we start to not only notice our evolution, but we direct it. This is empowering, and can alter our life course profoundly.

Today I wish for us all the space to notice how far we’ve come, to send wishes to the future for our dreams to unfold, and bless what’s happening right now, with hearts wide open.
