Temporary States

Right now, my house has ants. They're tiny and seemingly everywhere. They are incredibly pesky. I'm also moving in a couple of weeks, so having an exterminator out or laying bait traps seems pointless. This is a temporary state. As annoying as I find these ants, who ruined my box of cereal this morning and cause me to have to wipe up around the cat's dishes several times daily, they are a temporary state and we can put up with anything for a little while.

The nice thing about life is that all the bothersome parts are also just temporary states. If there is something about your own behavior or thoughts that you don't like, you can change it. If there is something about your work, your home, your social circle, or an ant problem, "this too shall pass." We can put up with anything for a little while.

Persevere the little things. Fix the big things. You've got this.
