Everything dies

The bad news is… everything dies.

Your parents pass on.
Children grow up and leave the nest.
Best friends become distant.
Your health starts to fade past 40.
A life-changing overseas trip ends.
Your favourite cafe closes down.
Your SaaS business stops making profit.

But the good news is… everything dies.

A bad economy will recover.
You got retrenched, but found a job.
You caught cancer, but treatment helped.
Friends left, but new friends appeared.
You work out, and health and fitness returned.
A nice new cafe pops up on the old spot.
You build a new SaaS, and profit returns. Again.

Nothing is permanent.
All is temporary.

Treasure happy moments before they go.
Take comfort that sad moments will eventually go.

Everything dies, good and bad.
