Living untroubled by Good or Bad Fortune

See wholeness in place of good or bad fortune

Change your view of the peaks and valleys of all of life to an attitude that allows you to discover what’s hidden in both of those experiences. Begin to see wholeness rather than good or bad fortune. See opposites as parts of oneness, rather than disrupting surprises. What you’re calling “bad” fortune has “good” just waiting to emerge because it’s the other half.


When bad fortune feels so troublesome
that you can't get unstuck,
see good fortune leaning on it.


When you feel overpoweringly discouraged during a trip through the valley of despair, it can feel as if that’s all there is. If you’re unable to see a circumstance or situation as part of a larger picture, remind yourself that good fortune is leaning on this bad one, just as morning follows the darkest night. With wholeness as a backdrop, rely on your knowledge of day following night at these times. Keep in mind that when you’ve reached the valley floor, the only direction you can go is upward. Things definitely will get better; your luck good fortune is invisibly there in all moments of despair, and you want to learn to live untroubled by them both.
