All good things must come to an end. But they can be replaced with things that are good in a new way.
It’s hard to let go of phases and feelings that are good. But the only choice is to let them go gracefully or to cling to them as they get ripped away.
Both leave you with a bittersweet pain over what no longer is, but the graceful process makes it easier to begin to grow new kinds of goodness in place of the old. Then you begin to see that the old good carried through as a seed that grew into a new goodness.
New goodness only grows as the old fades. New goodnesses are perhaps less sweet and light, but they are stronger, deeper, hardier.
Once you let go of the idea that what is good must also be easy, you will continue to see new goodness as old goodnesses pass.
