Feelings are like waves — they rise, they fall, and they pass. Anger flares up, sadness weighs heavy, excitement overflows… but none of them last forever. Yet how often do we allow a fleeting storm in the heart to dictate choices that shape the rest of our life?
One moment of rage can destroy a relationship.
One moment of fear can stop a dream.
One moment of despair can push us to give up.
The Buddha taught that all emotions are impermanent — they come and go like clouds passing across the sky. Attaching ourselves to them, or making life-changing decisions in the heat of them, leads only to regret.
💡 Instead, pause. Breathe. Observe.
Notice your feelings without clinging to them, without pushing them away. When you see that they are temporary visitors, you gain the wisdom not to hand them the keys to your future.
🪷 True strength lies in stillness. Let the storm pass, and then act from clarity, not from chaos.
Because when the mind is calm, decisions are wise. And when decisions are wise, peace follows.
