3 Indisputable Truths in Life You Can’t Deny
There are few things in life that we can truly count on.The universe is in constant flux, forever changing. Everything around us changes constantly. It’s like you can never get a break from change.If only it could stay the same so you could stay on your own two feet.Unfortunately, life has other plans.Instead, life likes to keep you on your toes. It keeps you guessing. It keeps giving you anxiety.In a world where everything changes, there are a few things you can count on.
1. You are going to die.
As pessimistic as it sounds, your life is finite. All living things come to an end. Everything that has life will eventually die off, including stars, but that doesn’t stop them from shining.Just because you die doesn’t mean that you can’t live. If anything, it can give you the courage to live life on your own terms. If you’re going to die anyway, you might as well do what you want.Corny as it may be, life is precious. The fact that you are alive is amazing. You have so many opportunities and adventures waiting for you.
2. The natural order of the world is change.
This is something that can give you great joy or sadness. If anything, let it give you solace. It means that life can never stay bad. If everything sucks right now, give it some time.Nothing ever stays the same. Things may suck now, but they won’t suck forever. The same with happiness. You may be happy now, but happiness is fleeting.It’s a good lesson in staying mindful and present. There is no true enjoyment if you’re stuck living in the past or prophesizing about the future.
3. You have the choice to make life what you want.
I’m a privileged person and it’s privileged to think that anybody can make their lives into anything they want when there are endless discrimination factors to contend with.Regardless, you have the most power when you take personal responsibility for your actions. You can choose and there is power in that. You can choose to ignore this post for example. You can choose to be moved to action.You determine your thoughts and actions, and nobody else does that for you. You are able to choose your own destiny because you are in control of your actions.
There are a few things in this life we can count on. Half the time we can’t even count on our friends to make it on time for lunch.It helps to know there are some things that will always stay the same.
- Everything that lives will die. (Until science figures out how to beat this)
- Change, in itself, is a constant, which I find reassuring.
- You are the master of your own destiny.
It’s easy to get caught up in the minutia of everyday life. These facts help me take life a little less seriously.Anything you can do to find peace at the moment. Because really, that’s all we can count on.
