One of the few guarantees in this life is that every up will be followed by a down. And vice versa.
We never know when we’ve hit the crest of the up-wave or the bottom of the down wave. But, as sure as we are that the sun will rise tomorrow, we know enough to know that the opposite will come.
It is an appropriately sobering thought on the up and an encouraging one on the down.
It is that understanding that helps us build equanimity and gives us the greatest gift of them all – perspective.
And where perspective resides, wisdom follows.
