The Way

Do not despair when you encounter bumps in the road.  The path of life is never a smooth one.  Never.  If it had no ups and downs, where would be the learning and the growth?  If you cannot embrace the bumps, then simply take your foot off the accelerator and glide. Bumps are easier when you do not tense or brake.  Just take them slowly and flow over them.  Soon you will come to a smooth patch again.  It is the Way.  When you recognize this, you can unclench your teeth and enjoy the ride.
