WHATEVER HAPPENS, EVERYTHING PASSES.

The title of this blog is a mantra that a spiritual teacher taught me some time ago. He recommended that we repeat it when we are in a difficult situation, to remember that everything will pass. Since then, I have used it and it really helps me a lot, so I decided to reflect on it briefly.

In our daily lives, we face different situations and many of them can be uncomfortable, some even extremely painful. When we experience physical or emotional pain, we can feel that time freezes and the discomfort intensifies. Pain can cloud our perception, making us feel that we are going to remain in that situation. However, nothing could be further from the truth, because whatever situation we are experiencing, good or bad, it will pass. The only constant in life is change. We know this in theory, but when an unpleasant situation arises, it is much more difficult for us to integrate this premise. So that is why I am writing these lines today, because perhaps you need to read them right now. Maybe you are going through a situation that you do not like, maybe you feel that something is missing, uncomfortable or hurts you; That is why I want to remind you that everything will pass, this situation will pass.

Life is in constant movement and it is always rearranging you. You never stay in the same place nor are you the same person, you are always changing and mutating. The direction in which life takes you, whether you feel it is for something better or worse, depends a lot on you. When I say that life rearranges you and that everything will pass, I do not mean that magically all your problems will disappear just because there is change. What I mean is that there is constant movement and you decide which direction that change will take. Although sometimes we feel like victims of circumstances and feel that life is unfair for putting us in adverse situations that we do not deserve, we still have responsibility for our situation.

Even when we find ourselves involved in unwanted situations that we have not consciously sought, we have the power to choose how we are going to get out of them or how we are going to face them, starting with our mental attitude. As tempting as it may seem to sink into complaint or pain, the truth is that the more we think from that position, the more we perpetuate that situation. If, on the other hand, we fully intend to get out of this situation and we are willing to change whatever is necessary in us to achieve it, life will generate the movement in your life in that direction.

With all this I mean that life is in constant change and whatever you are experiencing will pass, but of course the responsibility falls on you for the direction that change takes.

If you are going through a painful or uncomfortable moment, I invite you to remember that everything passes, no situation is permanent, not even ourselves. Let the movement of life favor you, stay in a positive mental position in the face of your adversities, wholeheartedly intend to look for the way out and let life do its thing.

Finally, try to remember this mantra so that you can bring it to mind whenever you need it. When you feel anguish and find yourself in a suffocating situation, repeat in your mind:

NO MATTER WHAT HAPPENS, EVERYTHING PASSES.

And to prove it, remember all the difficult situations you have already overcome.

You can do it! You have done it before and you can do it now too!

I am sending you lots of strength so that you can overcome whatever you are going through.

May your life always improve and your experience be more beautiful every day.

Love, Mel.
