"تأكد أنه في يوم ما قريبا جدا ستقول وداعا لذلك الشخص الذي تدعوه حبيبك. التغيير يعني التغيير / إن واجب الروح هو أن تكون مخلصة لرغباتها الخاصة. يجب أن تسلم نفسها لشغفها الرئيسي/ سينتهي كل شيء قبل أن تدركه. لا تأخذ الحياة بجدية كبيرة."

Life has a funny way of reminding us of its fleeting nature. The core idea here is about embracing change, being true to yourself, and not taking life too seriously. Imagine you're holding a delicate butterfly. You love it so much, but you know you can't keep it forever. Someday, it will fly away. In the same way, the people and circumstances we cherish today won't be with us forever. Change is the only constant.

This saying seems to carry a mix of wisdom from different contexts. It’s like a tapestry woven with threads from different eras and cultures. The phrase "Be sure that someday, pretty soon, you'll say goodbye to the one you call lover" reminds me of the impermanence of relationships. It's a reality check. We often get so caught up in the present that we forget everything is temporary. The Russian phrase "Меняться означает меняться" (To change means to change) is a nod to the inevitability of transformation. And lastly, "It is the soul's duty to be loyal to its own desires. It must abandon itself to its master passion" is a powerful reminder to follow our true passions without holding back.

Let me paint a real-life picture for you. Think about Jane. She was in a job she didn't like, but it paid well. She stayed for years, convincing herself that this was the sensible thing to do. One day, she was laid off. Initially devastated, she soon realized this was a chance to pursue her passion for painting. She had always loved art but never had the courage to dive in. Now, without the job anchoring her, she did. Fast forward a few years, and Jane is a successful artist, happier than she ever was in her old job. The layoff, an unwelcome change at the time, turned out to be the best thing that happened to her. It was all over before she knew it and, in hindsight, it was for the best.

So, how do you apply this wisdom? Start by recognizing that change isn't the enemy. It's an inevitable part of life. When you hold onto things too tightly, you don't leave room for new opportunities. Practice letting go. Whether it’s a relationship, a job, or even a long-held belief, sometimes you need to release what you have to make way for something new. Follow your passions. If there's something you've always wanted to do, take small steps towards it. Life is too short to be spent on things that don't set your soul on fire.

Imagine sitting in a coffee shop with an old friend. You reminisce about the good old days, but you also talk about how much has changed. Your friend shares how they moved to a new city, started a new job, and met new people. They were scared at first, but now they’re happier than ever. You realize that, while change is daunting, it often leads to growth and new happiness. You sip your coffee, look out the window, and think about the things you’re holding onto. Maybe it's time to let go and embrace the change.

So, the next time you find yourself dreading change or clinging to something that’s slipping away, remember that life is a series of hellos and goodbyes. It's the soul’s duty to follow its desires. And hey, don’t take it all too seriously—it’ll be over before you know it.
