Just when you think you have figured out how love works, it turns into a devastating breakup. Just when you think you’ve figured out how to be rich, the economy tanks. Just when you think you’ve found the perfect career, it stops being fulfilling. The changing dynamics of reality force you to examine yourself, to see where your old ways no longer work. Life is pushing you to rely on your present-moment awareness, your adaptability, and your innovative intelligence. Resistance, complacency, rigidity, and stubbornness are what cause all sorts of problems for people.
Reality is fluid. Be fluid. The universe is supple and dynamic. Be supple and dynamic. The universe is a mystery, so much we don’t know. You are a mystery too. There’s so much you don’t know about yourself. No-one gets sameness as a constant in life. No-one gets to have it their way, each time, and every time. Rigidity is an illusion. The universe has laws, but its fundamental nature is fluidity and mystery. The universe seems to favor willingness, openness, love, growth, forgiveness, and vulnerability. The universe is not a machine, it’s a vast, evolving, and complex intelligence, just like you are.
The stock market will crash. People will die. Relationships will unravel. Health will deteriorate. Organizations, businesses, and government will fizzle out. Careers will expire. Ways of thinking will become useless and ineffective. Reality is shifting, so don’t dig in your heels – get on your toes. You’re a living, changing, complex, and growing organism. You haven’t figured yourself out, and you never will. Get curious about yourself, there’s more to know. You are not the same today as you were yesterday, and your tomorrows will look radically different. Don’t let reality’s changing nature shock you. Behold its mystery; become its suppleness; and honor its power to change in an an instant.
