Impermanence

Remember, nothing lasts forever.

Everything you have now will be gone eventually.  Your money, your car, your home, your health, your food, your clothes.  And not only is it guaranteed to leave eventually, but it could happen a lot sooner than you think and very unexpectedly.  Understand this and it won’t be so tragic once it happens.

Think:  What you have will leave.  It was only through a series of coincidences (where you were born, your family, your intelligence, your work ethic) that you managed to get anything that you have.  You are not entitled to ANY of it.  You could have just as easily been a little African kid with no water to drink and no food to eat.  You don’t own anything.  It can be taken from you in an instant.

It’s not as depressing as it sounds.  Really.
