One of the benefits of letting go of our attachments to the past and the future, and the stories that keep us stuck there, is that it " empties us out." It allows us to be fully present and open in the moment.
I am currently reading a book called "The Art of Uncertainty". A book that fits into my life and is letting me cling to it while I let go and find comfort in my uncertainty. I've crossed and burned all the "known" bridge's in my life and am now left with only the unfamiliar. One moment I am excited and elated and the next I think I've lost my mind and become uneasy and fearful. The book is helping me walk through the moments and know "This too shall pass." It reminding me that... We think that impermanence makes us suffer. It is not impermanence that makes us suffer. What makes us suffer is wanting things to be permanent when they are not. Finding the peace in "change" is a life long goal. It is something that is guaranteed. Nothing ever stays the same. Each moment brings with it change and when we stay present it's not as frightening.
Just remember:
If your in a bad situation, don't worry-it'll change.
If your in a good situation, don't worry-it'll change!
and
The closest to being in control we will ever be is in that moment, that we realize we're not.
