At first we are all impatient children. We want everything to arrive as soon as possible, we dream of having many experiences, of experiencing life. Later come the failures, the disappointments, the stones on the way ... However, life is just that, moving forward, taking on the changes and being humble throughout this wonderful life journey.
Who at least once did not want something to arrive as soon as possible? And who at least once has not wished for a moment to last forever, for time to stop at that very moment, like the rocks that stand still in the middle of the ocean?
It doesn't matter, because the good times will always remain etched in our memory. Man, so to speak, is made up of memories and we spend most of our days evoking good and bad moments.
Admitting that our life goes on and on with a tick-tock that no one can stop, is undoubtedly something that scares us and forces us to reflect. However, don't be afraid of the way, to advance.
Let's reflect briefly today on the progress of our existence, let's talk about those permanent aspects that we have to worry about every day to live a fuller life.
In life everything changes, except the essence
We can say that in this life everything arrives, everything passes and everything changes. Despite this, there are some elements that need to be fixed points in our particular micro-universe.
Your self-esteem, your needs and your ambition
Love, respect, dignity and our needs to cultivate personal growth they must be the essential pillars of our daily life. They must forcefully and entirely guide our path, whatever it may be.
There are times when, during this intense life adventure, we leave out many aspects in favor of other people. There are those who favor their partner in a moment of their life, so much so that they forget about themselves.
And even if everything is justifiable and the feelings are intense, one should always be able to maintain balance. Offering ourselves to others to such an extent that we forget our needs will sooner or later fall into frustration, and because of this, we will stop moving forward.
You may think that another aspect that you don't have to change in your life is values. Well, undoubtedly there are those basic patterns that you will never break, such as respect for yourself and for others, honesty, bravery, etc.
However, within this vital advance, we can all make changes to our personality and also to our personality our scale of values, in accordance with the experiences lived. And everything will undoubtedly have the purpose of improving, because it is part of the learning and growth process.
Don't be afraid of changes, they are anchors that we break to always advance a little more, in wisdom and in accordance with what we have experienced.
Love that transcends
The love we feel for loved ones, for the family, for our partner or for our children, are also essential points of our vital essence.
Love is not a stable entity over time. Love also transforms and adapts. An example is the relationship with our partner.
The two members of a couple will have to adapt to the changes in life that arise over time: changes at work, on the arrival of children, on the balance to be found between individual growth and couple growth.
All these are moments that require our dedication, our wisdom and the ability to move forward, being two people the same existential unity. We share those same roots nurtured by love, but we raise our personal branches, to keep growing.
Key points for taking on changes wisely
- You are the priority, the protagonists of your life and the most important thing in your world. Do not cling to fears or indecision because, in the long run, you will feel frustrated, you will complain about a life not lived.
- Never stop feeding your "inner child". You must be able to dream, be spontaneous within your wisdom. Enjoy the simple things, love, experiment, dare.
