In any given moment, the world isn’t perfect. Conditions aren’t right. The economy hits a bump. There’s a health emergency. Our confidence is shaken.

We might want to sell out or settle or simply give up. But the practice saves us. Because the practice can be trusted. And because in this moment it’s simply the best next step.
