Year end of 2018

(contd)

Year end of 2018

Now coming to ‘year end’ – do we see it as ‘an end’ of this year or is it the ‘beginning’ of new year?

Because, if we see it as an end (or for that matter of anything in life) then it is painful and letting go becomes difficult and heavy! But if we see it as a new beginning, there is hope, expectations, joy and celebration. Think about it! 

So how do we see it as?

As an end of as a new beginning?

Neither! See it as a continuation – like a serpent eating its tail! A circle – a circle of life and events! Come to see of it - Every end brings with it a new beginning. Just go back and look at your every end that you suffered then! Your school, college or a job – you suffered because it ended but it also brought with it a new beginning that you cherished and loved later on. Isn’t it?

End of childhood – youth

End of youth – adult life

See it in various situations and with various people. It is same. The happy person is one who accepts this as he knows this to be the fact of life and moves with it and embraces the ‘new’ with joy and openness instead of being closed and fearful of the new. Be it situations or people every new change will bring with it new dynamics and new way of working, living and thereby growing and learning opportunities. Resist it and suffer the process. Fear of change is the cause of this resistance. But a flexible mind and heart doesn’t demand the ‘same’ old way of living and experiencing from the new. Where is the suffering then?

Think about it!
