We are never as happy
or as unhappy as we imagine.
—La Rochefoucauld
Reflection
We are all subject of the vicissitudes of life, no matter
how sane or together we appear to be. There are days
when despite great health and abundance we are tor–
mented and wonder about the meaning of it all; or
having achieved great success we feel the emptiness of
simply being on the planet. Guess what — it's human.
We run from the guy who is always up and run from
the guy who is always in the dumps. That's the way it
is. Guess we fit somewhere in the middle. It's human.
Affirmation
Help me to accept my place on the planet, and when
happiness or adversity arrives help me to accept them
both, knowing they too will pass.
