I remember a teacher I had was talking about – and I can't remember the – he was talking about some Indian yoga master that the student asked him like, do the masters ever get angry?

If you try to write on water, those letters are going to disappear right after you write them. There are emotional disturbances that we're going to have and it's part of life. We can't ignore them.

Because we can't just try to run from the shadow and go to the light. It's just, they're hand in hand. In fact, they don't exist without the other. Well, because they're both inside of us. And they're both inside of us. And they both have their purpose.

I'm striving for ways of being, you know, how I'm going to be that day in the face of the stressors, whether that meeting goes well or not, whether I make the money or I don't, whether I get the answer that I wanted or I don't, that I'm striving for this way of being. And there's a,

Yeah. We want to be able to tolerate that distress enough to make choice and respond rather than react to whatever it is. It doesn't mean that we're not going to navigate out of the storm.
