BIRTH
It is a biological event which remains a constant and therefore, a certainty.
DEATH
We will meet our maker at some point and this is a certainty. It is an inevitable aspect of human existance.
TAXES
Benjamin Franklin once said, “In this world, nothing can be said to be certain, except death and taxes.”
LIFE
It doesn’t stop for anyone. Life goes on regardless of birth, death, breakups and grief. It moves and if you want to keep up, you’ve got to move too or be left behind.
TIME
This commodity is precious. Not realizing that time is precious is one of the things humans do and we do it with relish. However, there is a limited amount of time that is allocated and putting it to good use is of the utmost importance.
LIFE IS FLEETING
This is a certainty because everything in life eventually changes and comes to an end.
PAIN
There are no ifs or buts about this one. Pain is a certainty of life. It can come both in the physical or emotional form and it is a natural part of the human experience.
CHANGES
Nothing stays the same forever no matter how much we want it to. Changes are part and parcel of life.
WE DON’T KNOW ALL THE ANSWERS
This is a part of our human experience. Life would be easier if we knew why some things happen the way they do but no chance there. Maybe at some later point in time, the answers will be revealed to us.
THE PAST HAS AN EFFECT
Last but not least, the past does leave its mark on us, good or bad, it has an effect on us and this too is a certainty. Our past experiences do shape our present thoughts, behaviors, and emotions AND our reactions to life.
Wow, that was a long list! Time for three cups of coffee. Mornings are not made for this much thinking!
