Cope

Coping... many of us don't have very good coping skills. Its not something that we teach our kids here in the west.
Hence addictions of all kinds.
Perhaps we try to cope with too much and then have ineffectual coping going on all around?
As Tolle says, we can only cope with what is happening NOW. When we worry about future concerns and fears we leave the realm of our coping capabilities.
If you can keep reclaiming your stillness... then at the time you need the coping... that strength will be there for you to use.
Have enough faith in yourself to believe that you will rise to the occasion. Because as I thought yesterday... what happens to us is called Life... it comes in all different forms and all different emotions and all different outcomes. Whatever is happening, has happened, or will happen to you is just LIFE... this is how it is played out.
You are the director!
Practice Peace...
