So that's lesson number four.

Lesson number five.

Honestly, most things that we freak out over are not worth losing your life over.

Most things are not worth losing your life over.

That's lesson number five.

Because when I say your life, I mean moments.

Because your life is made of moments.

And so many people, I've done this for so long in my life, they sacrifice a beautiful morning or time with their children or vacations or a nice dinner or relationships or just their peace because something outside of them did not go the way that they want to.

That's it.

Something outside of you did not go the way that you wanted to.

And now you're kind of, as an adult, throwing an adult temper tantrum.

Oh no, it didn't go the way that I wanted it to.

Now I'm mad.

Now I'm pissed.

Oh, fuck off everybody.

Right?

Life is always going to go wrong in some sort of way.

There's always going to be stress and uncertainty and problems and chaos.

The question is, will you abandon yourself every single time it gets uncomfortable or can you stay rooted in peace even when things are uncertain?

The way I like to think of it is like the big giant oak tree.
