Insightful post on impermanence and your mind.

Impermanence: everything is transient, everything is in a state of flux. This concept can be life-changing if you fully understand it. Those thoughts you have, those emotions you feel, those urges that make you uncomfortable - none of it is permanent. It all comes and it all goes. Your mind tries to make it permanent by grasping (clinging) to what you view as "favorable" and avoiding (running from) what you view as "unfavorable."

But, it is all temporary. Think of it as if you were looking at clouds in the sky - they float in one side and float out the other. Those thoughts you have will do the same - you can watch them, and you don't have to follow them. Those emotions you feel will do the same - you can feel them, and let them go (not dwell in them, or get lost in them). Those urges you have will do the same - you don't have to act out the same conditioned responses you have for years...simply note the urge, and let it pass.

All of your mind-made activity is like clouds in the sky - with practice, you can watch it all float by. And your life improves dramatically as a result.
