Hold the stillness

I am not sure if the title makes sense. If something is still, why do you need to hold it. We need to hold it because we want to be still and not because it is not moving. 

In our life, we always tend to prefer things that dont change (basically still). We already do that. What kind of friends we have, friends who always behave the same way, means no change. What kind of people we want to talk to when we are in trouble, ones that we can count on, how we can count on, because they dont change that much. When do you think, we can settle down in a relationship, when we understood all the possible changes in the other person. Which means after that they dont have any changes as far as we are concerned. So in life, we tend to stick with things that are still (not changing or when we know all the possible changes, which kinda makes it not changing) 

This is our natural way of living. But we tend to deviate from this path by choosing change because we get bored. The line "change is the only constant thing in life" has become famous because we are forcing this upon us that we have to get used to the change when our natural way of living is stillness. 

So if we stick to our natural way, we can do great things.
