Thought for the Day - The Old Fades, The New Comes In Afresh

That life is dynamic is what we all know. The best way to live it is to love each moment as a new one. To be grateful to everything that the new brings in. 

The way to a life of pain is to want anything to be as it is. People change, circumstances change. Friends die, family does, relationships die. What can make life painful is wanting things to be the same. What was good yesterday may not be good anymore today. If we look back it will hurt. 

The way to live life as joyfully as before, as one can remember, is to shed the past behind and to embrace the new that comes in. And it will because nature abhors a vacuum.

Clear up space inside. There will be those from the past who will approach you with the same warmth and love. And there will be those who are new who will do the same. When we remove the decaying parts that are inside, we create space for the new.

Stop looking behind. Look ahead. There's a whole life ahead of you. Of the new. The old fades like a jaded photo. The new comes in like a garden of freshly bloomed flowers. 

Open your arms and take it all in.
