Finding Time By Embracing Change!

Posted on September 8, 2008, under Time Management Skills.

RiverWe’ve been talking about finding time while in the midst of transition. Today I want to look at a small illusion in our discussion – namely that transition is something out of the ordinary. These two quotations, both from Heraclitus (535-475 BC) illustrate my point.

There is nothing permanent except change.

You cannot step into the same river twice.

The fact of the matter is that we are always in transition. Most of the time we just don’t know it. On waking, we transition into our day. When we leave the house we transition into the world, and vice versa. We are always in a state of change. Permanence is the illusion.

Realizing this, we give ourselves the space to respond to changes without experiencing them, necessarily, as unhappy upheavals. The more we expect flux and fluidity, the less disorienting it will be for us.

How do you respond to change when it presents itself to you? How do you feel about its constancy?
