“You can have your cake and eat it. But my God, it will go rotten inside you.” –
D.H. Lawrence
When you try to
hang on to another person or to any part of life, we impede the natural flow. To be in harmony, we must let go. “You must lose your life in order to find it.” Real strength, real self-respect, is achieved
only by setting the hungry self aside.
It’s human to
want to hold on to what’s precious.
Although, life’s real treasure is found in achieving the rhythm of ebb
and flow. Joy is not a constant
state. Glory is part of a cycle that
includes defeat.
Accepting
imperfection, accepting change, is part of accepting our humanity. We obey the same cyclic laws that govern the
universe. Success in living depends on accepting
that one day we’ll eat cake and the next we won’t. Fear tempts us to hoard the crumbs of our
success, but wisdom lets us brush them away.
“I
will remember that joys recur just as sorrows do.”
