A dear friend, someone who has seen me through some of my lowest lows, recently asked me a question that stayed with me.
She said, “Do you feel like you’re just having your moment?”
She was reflecting on a season where things feel… good. My health, my work, my life, it all feels full in a way that’s hard to put into words.
And the truth is, her question made me pause.
Because yes … this moment feels incredibly sweet.
And it also reminds me of something I learned years ago while attending a Vipassana meditation retreat: the law of impermanence:
Nothing lasts. Not the good, and not the bad. Everything is impermanent.
That teaching has quietly shaped how I try to live.
When life feels like this, steady, meaningful, even joyful, I notice myself slowing down just a little more. Taking it in. Letting it land. Not rushing past it or assuming it will always be this way. Because it won’t. None of it does.
And in the harder seasons, the ones that ask more of me, that feel heavy or uncertain, I return to that same truth.
This too will not last.
And it’s often the memory of these “sweet” moments that helps carry me through. They remind me of what’s possible. They help me stay rooted when things feel shaky.
This is something I often share with clients, too, not as a cliché, but as a lived truth:
Savour the good. Let it really reach you.
Because those moments become part of what sustains you when life feels hard.
The sweet wouldn’t feel as sweet without the bitter or the bland.
And the hard seasons, as much as we might resist them, deepen our capacity to recognize and receive the good when it comes.
Today, whatever your moment looks like, whether it’s light, heavy, or somewhere in between, there is something here that won’t last.
And that makes it worth noticing.
