There's a quote by Jon Kabat Zinn, “You can’t stop the waves, but you can learn to surf.”
Staying in a good mood is a skill, and it also works like a surfboard. Life will throw you a hundred chances to tense up, fall down, or spiral.
And other people’s moods can feel contagious… if you let them. But even in stormy waters, you can:
Choose your attitude.
Choose your peaceful stance.
Choose the perspective that keeps you steady.
The stronger your mindset, the less anyone’s drama can sneak in, and the more you can navigate all kinds of waters. You got this.
Save this for the days you are dealing with waves, and share it with someone who’s learning to stay centered no matter what’s happening around them.
