My yoga teacher was just talking about how change is what we can count on, and quoted playrwright Bertolt Brecht. I couldn’t find the exact one she used, but this one from him is nice too: “Because things are the way they are, things will not stay the way they are.” 

She reminded us that even when we love something and want it to stay the same, it will change. And when we have great aversion to something that seems like it will never end, it will. Though that’s close to the heart of what makes living difficult, there is actually a comfort in that–each moment will be new in some way, every day different if we can see it.
