A solid foundation
Life is busy and the world is complex. Give yourself time to
take it all in.
Events come at you quickly, and keep coming all the time.
Regularly give yourself the time and space to make sense of
it all.
When you get too caught up in your efforts, you can lose
track of why you're making them. Take the time, again and
again in the midst of it all, to remember why you do what
you do.
Keep yourself connected to the reality of who you are. Don't
allow yourself to be defined by the events that come and go,
for that would leave you with nothing solid to hold on
to.
Cultivate and nurture a part of yourself that can rise above
whatever may come. Then you will have a powerful perspective
from which to deal with it all.
Make sure your life has a solid foundation in what is real,
in what is lasting, in what is meaningful to you. And then
nothing will have the power to overwhelm you for long.
