This text was sent to me by Geeta Pankhania, when I was in a deep crisis in my relationship.
It is profound wisdom, which may help others as well, so I put it up on this web page (1st May '04).

5 Laws of Life You Can Depend on
This, too, shall pass.
Nothing stays the same. The only constant in life is change. With every
decision we make, we initiate change. Even when we decide not to decide,
life still goes on, and changes still occur. When we are in a state of
discomfort, sadness, grief, or pain, we know that because life goes on,
change will bring us some kind of relief. And because even comfort,
happiness, and all good things also pass, we know that we need to
appreciate and cherish each precious, fleeting moment.
Time heals.
The timepiece of life never stops. Neither does it pause for those who
celebrate, speed up for those who are impatient, nor slow down for those
who fear tomorrow. Time ticks a regular rhythm that steadily brings new
moments, new days, and new seasons. As time pushes forward, we take new
steps, face new challenges, and create new opportunities. And as life goes
on, we are forced to move past our episodes of disappointment, sorrow, or
despair. More than anything else, time heals not just broken bones but
broken hearts as well.
Ask, and you shall receive.
People won t know what you want unless you ask for it. Dreams and goals
are just wishes until you act on them, and acting on them often requires
that you ask for answers, for assistance, or for something tangible. It
takes a lot of courage to ask for help, but when you come forward, only
then will the world know what to give you. Just ask and know that miracles
can happen.
You can have anything, but not everything.
Life offers us infinite possibilities. With hard work, determination, and
perseverance, we can achieve anything. If we re willing to pay the price
and go the extra mile, we can have whatever our hearts desire. But no
matter how hard we try, we can t have everything. Life is a balancing act
of wins, losses, and trade-offs we gain some and we lose some.
What goes around comes around.
It s the universal law of nature: do to others what you want others to do
to you, because whatever you sow, you reap; whatever you give, you get
back ten-fold. It doesn't hurt to smile, or be kind, or extend a helping hand.
You never know when or how, but every act of goodness always returns to
the GIVER Give one today and receive ten tomorrow.
