"When things are shaky and nothing is working, we might realize that we are on the verge of something."
-Pema Chodron, in her book When Things Fall Apart, Heart Advice for Difficult Times.

Lama Dawa's Commentary:
So as we live our lives, we constantly encounter situations that are challenging, that are difficult, that give us opportunities.

Things are always changing.

Nothing is ever the same and totally safe or secure.

Acknowledging this, we can approach these situations differently.

Instead of feeling these are huge obstacles, perhaps these are actually opportunities.

As Pema mentions, we can actually sometimes approach these things with a kind of curiosity.

If we start to see that things are workable, that there are always changes that can happen, that there's always possibilities of doing or seeing or understanding something differently through letting go, through not having strong expectations that things will turn out a certain way.

We might be surprised in a good way or delighted by how things can turn out.

The world is full of possibilities, and each moment is full of infinite possibilities.

So, why limit ourselves?

That's the question we can ask ourselves.
