Our degree of commitment to inner peace determines our emotional vulnerability to the vicissitudes of everyday life.
This steadfastness in equipoise allows us to more objectively and dispassionately assess tumultuous situations. We can come to see and feel the emotional clouds and even storms as just that–that which come and go, that we hold as steady as possible during–and yet that we bend and have some give to, to recover once again anew as they pass.
