When you’re in the midst of difficulty, drama or despair, take a step back and put the moment in perspective. Mentally distancing yourself from the fray is the easiest way to maintain balance. Witnessing with equanimity and patience is easier when you remember that forces beyond your control coalesced to create this moment exactly as it is. Unless it’s physically or emotionally unhealthy, don’t worry, this too shall pass. After the discomfort and crisis is over, you may consider it to be one of the best and most enlightening experiences…
Of your life.
