Movies or shows usually have this W structure where each valley and peaks represent climaxes and anti-climaxes which makes the viewers time engaged and worthwhile.
The same goes for our life, oscillating between good times and the bad; passing of a loved one, birth of your first child, missing your sales target, getting that promotion you’ve been waiting for so long, the list goes on and on.
There’s this Persian saying; THIS TOO, SHALL PASS is a timeless reminder suitable at every moment in our lifetime,
⭐️ you’re having a winning streak – this too, shall pass
⭐️ you’re sad because your pet died – this too, shall pass
⭐️ you’re angry because your child broke your favorite mug – that too, shall pass.
So, instead of being carried away with the gravity of the current situation – reflect that any moment is temporary so we do less things we’ll regret later.
✅ Celebrate in moderation,
✅ Mourn in moderation,
✅ Vent in moderation.
Perfect practice makes perfect, let’s start today.
Cheers, MFR
