It is comforting to know that bad luck, challenges, pain and suffering will not last forever. We might struggle but there is the light at the end of the tunnel.
But unfortunately, joy, happiness, or comfort eventually come to an end as well. C’est la vie – such is life!
Accepting impermanence requires us not to hold on to the past, not to long for what was, not to regret what we missed. At the same time, we must not fear the future as we don’t know what tomorrow will bring despite the best plans. Embrace the future because with every end comes a new beginning.
Recognize the present moment. Endure if you must, celebrate if you can. Find inner peace in Now.
In the end, everything in life is just for a while.
Wishing you a wonderful week embracing ends and beginnings.

PS: Today concludes the series of my Monday’s Mantra. I hope you felt inspired by the quotes, encouraged by my short writings to look at a topic from a different point of view, and enjoyed the pictures of my art quilts.
While Monday’s Mantra comes to an end, in time there will be the beginning of something new. In the meantime, let’s stay connected. If you haven’t done so, I invite you to subscribe to my newsletter at https://mailchi.mp/01b18fed0072/soularpowerfabricart-newsletter-signup.
Thank you for joining me on my journey as an artist!
