I often reflect on the fact that everything is temporary. The people in my life, my abilities, my opinions and attitudes... I learned this sharply throughout my twenties, and it lead me into a deep dive into Buddhism. The past is gone, the future is a figment of my imagination. My interpretation of what's happening now is up for debate... Nothing I rely on, or want to rely on, is stable and dependable. All is subject to change, the good and the bad. You have to find your anchor point or stability in the present moment. If you pay attention, you'll see that that is all there is, really. And it comes and goes, always, fleeting. Buddhist monks have to reflect on the '5 Remembrances' every morning. It might do us all good to do so too. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Upajjhatthana_Sutta https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Upajjhatthana_Sutta
