Everything passes. After bad times, good times will come again, but these too will pass.
Nothing is permanent in this world. Even though we mostly all have a great need for security and stability, the only constant is impermanence.
We can learn to use change as an opportunity or simply accept it. If we resist something, suffering and stress arise. Acceptance can change this.
Our nature-inspired poster “Change is the only constant” captures this mindset in a unique design. The powerful message of the quote is emphasized by the flowing lettering and the harmonious Swedish landscape. Water is a life element. It exerts a special fascination on us. Lakes, with their calm surfaces or the gentle lapping of waves, have an especially calming effect on us.
The color blue has a soothing effect on our mind. The vast blue of a lake on the horizon or the deep blue sky reflected in the water helps us find inner peace. Looking at a wide lake allows us to take a deep breath and feel the expanse of nature, even if it is just a wall print. We feel freer and more relaxed, released from stress and tension.
The poster is more than just wall decoration. It is a daily reminder that change is part of life. That we do not have to fear it, but can use it as an opportunity to grow.
The image was taken by me, Carola Stober, founder of Wandalas, early in the morning as the sun was breaking through the fog, on the shore of a secluded Swedish lake. The lake, with many small islands, is surrounded by forest and was wonderfully relaxing, even though the mood kept changing. In the morning it was mystically quiet, dark, and foggy; then the sun broke through, so bright on the water’s reflection that it was hard to open the eyes. Later, the fog completely disappeared, it became pleasantly warm, and one could go swimming.
