Let Things Play

Often we try to rush things faster than we should. If you are running late, you may try to drive faster to make up the time to your next appointment. Often that works, but sometimes you get a speeding ticket or have a minor accident.

You can’t rush cooking something. You wouldn’t be advised to cook chicken for half the time the packaging says. You may end up feeling unwell.

Sometimes we need to just let things play out. You may want to hurry it along, especially if waiting or the topic makes you uncomfortable. But it can be good to wait and see where things go naturally. You can develop patience, learn about human nature and hone your listening and observation skills as things play out.

The world has a rhythm. Let things play.

Things Change

Death, taxes, and things change; those are the certainties of life.

Sometimes changes seem good for you and sometimes the changes seem bad. However, often changes will turn out well, given enough time.

Things change, be resilient and keep your mind open to all new possibilities so you can make the best of the new situation.

Things Are

Things are, events happen and situations occur. Sometimes we want things to be different and they aren’t. A real superpower is to be able to live with any outcome without batting an eye.

Acceptance is a critical skill to keep stress at bay and not waste time on things you can’t control.

Things Change

Some change is wonderful or exciting. Other change is dreadful or painful. Change will continue to be there regardless of how we see it.

Change just is. We give the change its meaning. We can also adjust what meaning we give to the change. Do try to make it more positive. It can be very hard. But if you do this, it can have a positive impact. It will take time and repeated effort and brain training. It will be worth it though.
