Tag: Adaptation

There are many people in the world who do no realize that life is progress, change, adaptation; thus, this people seem to choose to remain attach to memories of events, objects, ways of living, beliefs, ideas, and even to people who are not in their lives anymore. 

Attachment to these memories is extremely foolish and unwise, not only because you go against the natural forward flow of life, but because you spread poison into the lives of the ones around you.  Remember, you guide others with your example; and if you are stuck in a belief, a memory, or a lifestyle, then you carry no real light in your example.

In adaptation to all these changes there is great wisdom hidden, because this is the way life itself teaches wisdom, through change, through new perspectives, through minds which can let go of stupid and old dogmas and beliefs, cultural habits and lifestyles.

Whosoever adapts to change and learns from this change without disturbing the peace of others, respecting the way others choose to live, indeed, he is enlightened.

Bruce Lee puts it so beautifully when he talks about the mind in change, adaptation, in this quote: “You must be shapeless, formless, like water.  When you pour water in a cup, it becomes the cup.  When you pour water in a bottle, it becomes the bottle.  When you pour water in a teapot, it becomes the teapot.  Water can drip and it can crash. Become like water my friend.”
