The One Guarantee In Life

By Evan Sanders


Whether you like it or not, the only guarantee in life is that it's all going to change.

Whether you like it or not, things are going to change. Things are going to shift, adapt, adjust, and morph over time and to be completely honest, you have no control of what really happens. Yes, we may have certain ideas and concepts for what we want to see in our future, but it's actually out of our control when we really think about it.

If we dive into the land of the past, the place we can really never go back to, we begin to experience the same precise reality as well. What is done is done and we can never change it. Sure, we may be able to hide it from others who don't know any better, but our past will always be there in the back of our minds. We must learn to accept our past and move forward with dignity. There really is no other way.

As life constantly changes, we must change as well. We have to let go of the places we can't physically go - the past and the future - and start showing up and connecting with what's going on right now in this moment. If we can show up in this moment we give ourselves the ability to actually live.

The present, actually when it boils down to it, is the only moment in time that we truthfully have control over. And yet, so many people appear to live everywhere and anywhere but in it. Many are stuck in the tar of the past or are making an attempt to swim to the future as quickly as they can - only to find that living in both these places yields absolutely nothing.

When you give up the past and the future, you give yourself a chance to really live a meaningful and intentional life. But it's only when these things are given up do you actually begin to really connect with what you are capable of.

So grab yourself and rip yourself out of the past or the future. Come back to what's here right now.

I think so.
