Allow Impermanence Into Your Life

Good day, and welcome to my blog.

Yes, I'm trying my best to write more these days. Not because I want to be famous, but because some sense of duty is urging me to leave a few thoughts behind for future generations.

Mind you, I'm no sage or saint. I'm not a qualified psychologist or a PhD holder. I'm just an average Joe who has lived life to the fullest after 45 years of work.

Today, a thought flashed through my mind: I've changed. Again. Is it just me, or have we humans all changed — socially, morally, physically, and mentally?

Here are some new and different things I've been experiencing over the past eight months:

• I've lost the urge and habit to smoke
• I've lost my liking for beer sessions and alcohol (saves a lot of money!)
• I prefer solitude to socialising
• Nothing much excites me anymore
• I feel extremely contented
• Meditation and chanting have become my favourite activities
• I'm walking a lot
• Exploring new places on foot has become a new and interesting hobby
• Listening, observing, and trying to understand others more
• Using AI to learn and discover more about the world — home improvement, digital tools, and beyond

How about you? What have you noticed that's different in yourself recently?

I don't think it's depression or mood swings (although I am a Cancerian!). Life just feels different. Could it be the onset of wisdom as I travel toward 60, three years from now?

Impermanence, and learning to age gracefully, is the likely explanation — and I'm all for it (Read Chapter 6: "A Rolling Stone Gathers More Than You Know" from my book.).

What do you think?

Today is going to be our peaceful day.
