When we have to share something which we believe is the most precious, it is always the most difficult. However, what makes us special from the rest is the courage to be less selfish and more respectful, generous and compassionate.

Today we are living in a difficult yet ever-changing environment, and there are different expectations from individuals in order to make their lives successful and pleasant. In my opinion, it is entirely okay to dream about our goals, but for our part, it is also logical and wise to think deeply because high expectations and unrealistic goals may cause us to lose what we have worked so hard to achieve. Even though we may work very hard and our intentions may be perfect, things may still go either way. Trying our best with realistic expectations will at least enable us to accept whatever the outcome without feeling heavy inside our hearts. There are many ways we can learn things in our lives and one of the best ways is to learn from our own experiences, because we have all gone through ups and downs which can really teach us valuable lessons in our lives. There are no easy fixes and we cannot expect miracles to happen in everyday life, however, if we learn from our own experiences and from others, we can at least hope for a smoother landing in our chaotic lives.

The practice of impermanence may initially scare some people, but those who understand the benefits of learning about it realize that practicing awareness of impermanence helps them in their lives in many different ways. We may think that what we own or who we are close to will never change, but this is not true, because life is like the four seasons, and understanding this weather pattern will help us a great deal. For instance, when we know about the four seasons, we are able to prepare clothes and food for each season. Otherwise in the winter we may face much pain due to the cold weather. Similarly, understanding and learning about impermanence is the most useful tool to deal with the ups and downs in our lives, and this understanding will help prepare us to always be ready to face difficult challenges ahead in our lives. Learning about anything does not have an age limit, and in my opinion, it is always wise to be prepared rather than to let our worries and pain destroy our beautiful and meaningful lives.

If we keep failing even after learning and hearing so much about the importance of love and kindness, then in my opinion, we should pray for bigger ears before praying for anything else.
