Motivational Story: Embrace Life's Impermanence
Here we are, afraid of losing what we have all the time, holding on to it so tightly that not a soul can touch it. We think by hiding it from the world, it's hidden and it's ours. Nothing is. Nothing ever will be. For nothing ever was.
If you think there is anything that you have, that's yours, be it money, a house, a job, or a girlfriend... it's nothing but an illusion. It'll all disappear in one blow. One blow, my man.
Here we are, so insecure that we are afraid of restarting our lives, so we just carry on trying to sort out the current mess. The thought that we should give it all up and just start all over—with nothing—might cross our minds sometimes, sure, but we get scared, and we push away anything that scares us.
There is nothing I can ever achieve or gain that I cannot lose in a matter of seconds. You have never gained enough to not be able to lose it all in just a few minutes. What you think is yours was never yours and will never be yours. Whatever you make here, you leave here. You came with nothing, and you're going to go back to nothing.
So what are you afraid of?
Let all be lost. Let them take away everything. As long as you have your heart beating strong, as long as you have your nostrils working fine, as long as the blood flows in your veins, you will live, you will breathe, and you can get it all back again and again. For if you can do it once, you can damn well do it again. It's just a game we play—Life.
