Everything Changes So Fast

By Evan Sanders


It never ceases to amaze me just how everything can change and yet things are entirely the same.

You can be focusing and spending so much of you time on one thing and then all of the sudden your entire life can change.

What's even stranger is the the other world disappears entirely. It seems to disintegrate into thin air when you have something brand new enter into your life. One second it's there and the next it's gone.

As much as I couldn't grasp this when I was younger, I really do believe in good timing. I believe this now because of how many things I have seen changed when you give it some time and space.

I used to think that things, with enough effort, could be "made to happen." But, as time has gone on, I really have started to see the world as a gigantic ebb and flow of waves. Even more, I've realized the analogy of the "kid on the swing" is incredibly powerful. If you push at the wrong time...disaster strikes.

If you believe in that idea, and you relax a little bit, many different things can happen for you. Your entire world could change if you really settled into that idea.

This has been running through my mind and changing the way I've been doing things. It makes me understand patience very well. It makes me understand, really, that patience is one of the marks of someone who truly is showing up in the world as how it actually is. When you are impatient, you are trying to make things happen forcibly...

And that never really works.

Patience and trust in something far bigger than you.

There have been things that have happened in my life lately that has started to put new fine and blood into me. They've given me the energy to pick things back up and move forward again.

In time, everything changes. Sometimes it happens fast. Sometimes it happens slow. But the pace of this life is perfect in its own way.
