Quote: Jon Kabat-Zinn

Life is cyclical.  There will always be blessings and challenges, no matter how positive you are - it's a natural part of life.  But the point is not to avoid adversity, it's to know how to handle it when it comes so that, instead of getting swept away by it, you simply go with the flow until it evens out again. You might even be grateful for the challenges because they allow for growth. After all, you can't learn to surf in still water.
