Embrace Change With Open Arms

I woke up to a voice note from one of my best friends who was chosen as the ring godfather for his cousin's upcoming wedding, where he also has the task of preparing a speech. He chose to talk about embracing change in marriage.

Enthusiastically, he asked if I could share any yogi wisdom or quotes on the topic. I felt privileged and unqualified, I am no wise man; in fact, he likely knows more, having been married much longer and with two kids. We exchanged voice notes, and I absorbed valuable insights from him.

We agreed on how, when growing up, our parents, teachers, and older people would say, “people never change.” If someone had a specific trait or characteristic in their personality, those people would never change it; especially if such trait was negative. And so, we both grew up thinking that.
