That's the essence I strive for - though easier said than done, on too many days in too many ways. Self-sabotage sometimes comes more easily than self-comfort and the comfort of others.
As the poster on my wall says: "It makes all the difference whether one sees darkness through the light or brightness through the shadows." Both are there my friend, and both are part of all of our realities, just some of us seem to see more of one than the other, far too often...
I wish you and everyone here much success in finding and maintaining a healthy balance by whatever means is appropriate for you.
Namaste!
