Things can change fast

Change is a very powerful thing and when that change is affecting your life negatively then things can go from good to bad in a very short space of time. A few thoughtless decisions can send your life on a downward spiral that will result in big or even irrecoverable losses. The same force of change when it affects your life positively can bring effective improvement that lasts for up to a lifetime.

The law of life’s vicissitudes allows for all that rises to fall, and from that velocity, to rise up even higher. If you understand that the same power that causes to rise can cause to fall, you will see why it is wise to be friends with change and never enemies with it. Change is unstoppable, but the good thing is that we can befriend it and work with it, not against it.

Working your way out of unfavorable life circumstances is more a matter of positioning yourself than it is about fighting things or people. Sometimes all you need to do is shift your focus from what’s happening around you to what will be happening in the future. Ask yourself what you can do today to align yourself with change.

Defiance is not always about acting out. Changing your mind can defy fortune. Maintaining control of your mind throughout the rising and falling offers much better prospects of success and happiness than mental laziness. This type of defiance cancels out both opposing forces of ups and downs, by amplifying the upsides of our falls and the downsides of our ascensions.
