I'm sure not everyone feels that when they're going through life like the image above. The world expects a lot of us. We expect a lot of ourselves. Obligations, responsibilities, aspirations, desires. If there are things we can't get rid of then we have to learn to reach a state of calmness and equilibrium. Otherwise we'll end up falling flat onto our faces. I'd much rather look as beautiful as the young woman above when in my own state of chaos. Luckily I don't have a whole lot going on in my life.
Have you found equanimity? What can you change in order to reach it?
