Keep your sanity
DON'T LOSE YOUR HEAD
When the heat is turned up, when pressure mounts, when everything in you is pushing you to react, to meet chaos with chaos, you are not showing power, you are not exercising strength, you are losing your head, you are surroundering your power. The world will test your resolve, you will be baited, but the best thing you can do for yourself is to keep your head up and high. Don't fall for their bait, don't get trapped by their vices.
True power is not found in the losing of your head, it is found in keeping it; it is your anchor in the hurricane; it is the steady hand when the ship staggers; it is the moment between the trigger and the reaction. That space, that silent pause is where your control over the sudden gush of emotion lives. In that space, you are not a puppet tossed here and there by circumstance; you are the calm in its center, the one who chooses serenity over turbulence.
When you are trying to climb a cliff, you don't look down in panic, otherwise you might soon find yourself in the sea, you would rather focus on your next grip, your next move towards the plateau. You don't get to the top of the ladder by looking down, you go up by looking up. The storm does not always come to destroy, sometimes, it comes to clear the way for better things to come, and you will only be part of that if you don't lose your head in the storm.
Sometimes, bending in the face of the storm is not always weakness, but intelligent resilience, and he tree that stands rigid and unbending will be torn down, and may never rise again. This resilience demands that you remain sane, clear minded, and sharp sighted. Don't lose your head, protect it, treasure it, train it, let it be the center of your spirited progressive journey. The world does not need more heat, it needs more light, and light is most useful when steady, and unwavering.
To a better you, Kamikun John.
