Hey friends and welcome to Wake Me Up.

I'm your host Tyler as always and I'm so glad that you're here.

Because today we're talking about one of the most basic principles in life,

impermanence, the idea that nothing lasts forever.

Impermanence is a funny thing because even though we know that nothing lasts forever,

we hold on to things emotionally as if they do.

We all get caught up in our minds sometimes, subconsciously believing that things are permanent.

But that can put us in a rut and make us feel stuck,

reminding ourselves of how fleeting everything in life is can help us feel free and

make us appreciate the things we do have the opportunity to enjoy.

By the end of this episode, you will be reminded of the beautiful and everlasting truth

of impermanence, which will leave you feeling comforted, grounded, and inspired to keep moving forward.

Before we dive in, just pause for one moment.

Wherever you find yourself, look around the space you're in and notice the objects that surround you.

Think about how these objects are actually not solid,

but made up of billions of tiny moving particles.

Think about how one day these objects will eventually turn into dust and wither away.

And that's true for every single thing.

There is a kind of ethereal comfort in understanding

that nothing is permanent.
