"Every challenge we take on has the power to shake us -
to knock us to our knees. And yet, what's more disconcerting
than the jolt itself is our fear that we won't withstand it.
When we feel the ground beneath us shifting, we panic. We
forget about everything we know and allow fear to freeze us.
Just the thought of what could happen is enough to throw
us off-balance.

What I know for sure is that the only way to endure the quake
is to adjust your stance. You can't avoid the daily tremors.
They come with being alive. These experiences are really
gifts that force us to step to the right or left in search of a new center of gravity. Don't fight them. Just find a different
way to stand.

Balance lives in the present. The surest way to lose your
footing is to focus on what dreadful things might happen.
When you feel the earth moving, bring yourself back to the
now. You'll handle whatever shake-up the next moment
brings when you get to it. In this moment, you're still breathing.
In this moment, you've found a new place to move your feet
so you can step onto higher ground."
