Life often subjects us to dualities: success-failure, honor-dishonor, pleasure-pain. Due to such dualities, we may keep swinging between emotional highs and lows. Our moodiness makes us unpredictable—and therefore unreliable. Others lose trust in us; and worse, we lose trust in ourselves.

 

The Bhagavad Gita (2.56) recommends equanimity: the art of staying steady amid life’s inevitable rises and falls.

Equanimity grows from a long-term vision of life.

Life isn’t a hundred-meter sprint; it’s a hundred-mile marathon.

Every setback, failure, or mistake feels smaller when seen as a part of a larger journey.

 

When we remember that we are indestructible souls at our core,

life’s turbulence doesn’t shake our essence. We feel confident: we’ve weathered countless storms before—and we’ll weather this one too.

And we stay emotionally steady not by suppressing our feelings but by seeing beyond them.
