Ekow Hagan

"The majority of stress in our life seems to
come from trying to keep it all together.
We stress daily about our jobs, health, money,
loved ones, our future and so on - however
when we look upon our life we realize that
things come together and then fall apart ...
and then come back together again only to fall
apart again. We seem to be on an endless
roller coaster of excitement, fear and dis-
appointments.

Next time when you feel that your life is
falling apart find comfort and strength in
words of Pema Chodron when she says 'Only to
the extent that we expose ourselves over and
over to annihilation can that which is
indestructible in us be found.' And once we
absorb her words & realize that so far we
have survived everything that life has thrown
at us we start becoming like a tree with deep
strong roots that can withstand & even flourish
in the many storms that life brings."
