| Dear John, Have you struggled with the titanic transformation our world (and perhaps your personal life) has endured over the past few years? When the pandemic hit in March of 2020, our everyday life changed dramatically from in person to online platforms. Overnight we had to adjust to social isolation and feelings of disconnection never before experienced in modern times. Why? “Life’s pictures, in order to be interesting, must change constantly,” says Paramhansa Yogananda in his new Wisdom of Yogananda series How to Face Life’s Changes. But how do we embrace life’s changes? What are the key qualities for facing change? First, as Yogananda taught, we need to learn the attitude of acceptance. He said, “Accept change as life’s only constant.” What a pearl of wisdom! When we take his advice and truly accept that life is change, it naturally brings us to another key quality: calmness. “Under all circumstances you must be calm and self-possessed.” With acceptance and calmness we can live fearlessly and face any change that life presents. As he said, “Fear no man. Fear not hard work. Fear not hardship. Fear not criticism. Be a hero everywhere and at all times.” We are happy to announce the new release How To Face Life's Changes launches on November 1st! We hope this new volume offers you inspiration and practical advice to face change with greater courage, faith, and soul confidence! Joy & Blessings,
Nayaswami Narayan & Nayaswami Dharmadevi P.S. Read the excerpt below from #9 of Yogananda's new wisdom series book for more on the key qualities for facing change. |
