Jumping at shadows

Patience is needed when matters do not go our way. It is easy to panic, but no good will come from it. Instead, you could end up with more problems.

It is best not to fulfill our own prophecies. Look for trouble, and it will magically appear. No trick is required to draw the wrong kind of attention.

The most important thing is to remain calm. Only then, will you be able to focus on a solution. Sometimes, the answer will come quite easily.

An agitated mind tends to run around in circles. Sure, the exertion might be cathartic. But when you stop, you will find no progress has been made.

We often jump at our own shadows. Our thoughts will push us into the darkest of corners. And then, we are surprised that the worst comes to pass.

Reality is filled with disappointments aplenty. Our internal input is not actually required. If anything, it distracts us from the real troubles at hand.

  1. Indeed, both the mind and spirit should be centered when dealing with problems. If we panic we leave ourselves open to manipulation and can become our own enemy.

  2. If you are not willing to jump at shadows, then some day the shadows may end up jumping at you. Always keep an open mind.

    1. People tend to jump at their own shadows. When there is real danger it is best to avoid it. Otherwise, you can end up in actual trouble.
