Everything you see in your view of the world and everything you shall come to experience is not permanent. It shall change. Your physical situation, your body, your mood, your emotions, your health, your family, finances, businesses, all external factors which constitute your outer realm will inevitably change for you and in the world.

The statutes and common law alike are constantly changing, the public sector is always altering, and technology is at a rapid boom and therefore subject to vital alteration. It is the process of life, that unending evolving process that continues to fascinate us.

The tree. It constantly grows year after year, but eventually it shall fall and rot. All beings are subject to similar metamorphosis. It is a unique characteristic of being alive. We are in a way bound to it. Change is unavoidable, yet it is the only thing that shall remain constant! A breakthrough moment for us all!

The external situations have undoubtedly changed for you, and will continue to change as long as you are here on Mother Earth. We are all apart of this simple life and death cycle. Nothing is permanent but the mere fact of change itself. We are all part of the ‘circle of life’, whereby things are always in motion, changing and altering around us.

The sooner we come to realise this the sooner we shall create an everlasting sense of serenity and peace within ourselves and in our lives, for we will lose our false identity placed on us in our external world and come to a true realisation of one’s inner self.

Nothing is permanent but change.

Furthermore, as long as we are in this world, but not of this world (in a spiritual sense), we must fully accept that change will occur in our lives as the days go by. Nothing outside here will remain the same. Even our bodies will eventually change and soon die; we have to accept this fact of life.

We must learn to adapt to change, whether it is in our personal or career lives, and make the utmost of each unique situation. For change is also known as one of the six vital human needs, as mentioned by the world renowned peak performance coach Anthony Robbins (alongside certainty, significance, love or connection, contribution and growth).

Robbins states that every action we do consists of these primary six basic human needs. Without change, we would ultimately not be the human beings we are today. We would not have evolved to such an incredible level. Without change, we may not even be alive. The more we can survive change, the better our lives will be. It will drastically improve the quality of our lives, for in the midst of uncertainty, the actions and decisions we make are in direct proportion to this result.

Nothing is permanent in this world except change itself. ‘Nothing is certain except uncertainty.’ (Tej Samani, Motivational Speaker)

One final controversial issue. The only point I have to make against the aforementioned statement is that the only thing which can ever possibly remain certain and permanent is our sense of self, our spirit, our soul.

Through active meditation every day we can come to terms with this fact and benefit invaluably from it. We can develop a mutual agreement with our higher self that the feeling and experience (indescribable by words as even they are a limit to this experience) of being connected with all Beings and accepting change in our lives as a crucial life process.

Everything will change outside of your body that eyes can see and your mind can perceive. One thing that won’t is your soul, your spiritual presence and indeed the process of change.

By the time you’ve finished reading this article, look around you. Things have changed. Time for one thing has most certainly changed. People have changed. Objects may have been moved. Even your eye movements have most certainly changed if you have got this far in reading this article! Because you have persevered in reading this article, you will be aware that we all as a human race have to cope with changes in the outer external material world, and grow from them spiritually, mentally and personally.

Instead of living a life of reaction to certain circumstances all the time, let us think through quietly to certain events that occur outside of us and have a psyche of adaptation. We must also be an active ‘hunter’ for change, for uncertainty, for it is the only situation in which we can possibly grow as humans and achieve miracles. Without knowing defeat, how can we understand accomplishments? It is the law of opposites. A quantity of law which will not be included on the King’s prospectus.

Finally, I would like to leave you with a life changing quote. As Mohandas Mahatma Ghandi eloquently phrased it, we must ‘Be the change we wish to see in the world’. In order to glean advantage from the midst of change and uncertainty, we must contribute firstly to our family, then our society, and eventually to the world.
