One’s ideas of oneself

Change over time.

Being is constant.

Therefore, the choice is between

Attending to the changeful and

Attending to the changeless.

~ Wu Hsin, ย Translated by Roy Melvyn from The Lost Writings of Wu Hsin

 

A simple wise message about what we choose to attend to.

Let us pay attention to our being today, and let go of the perceived changes.

  1. I love this!!!

    From Power, Freedom, and Grace: Living from the Source of Lasting Happiness:

    The key to lasting happiness is to identify with the unchanging essence of your inner self, your source. Then you no longer look for happiness because you know you already have it.

    This happiness is true bliss, and it follows you wherever you go.

My name is Val Boyko and I live outside of Philadelphia, USA. I’m originally from Scotland and hold dual citizenship. You can take the girl out of Scotland but you can’t take Scotland out of the girl!

This blog came to life one morning in 2013.  I woke up with these words in my mind:  “Life is a series of highs and lows. Be grateful for the highs. Be graceful in the lows. And find contentment in your Middle Ground.”

Find Your Middle Ground blog started to explore, reflect, ask deep questions, share insights about awakening, and connect with wonderful people like yourself. Thank you for being here and being such an inspiration.
