Lifes waters flow from darkness.

Search the darkness, dont run from it.

Night travelers are full of light, and you are too: dont leave this companionship.

Be a wakeful candle in a golden dish, dont slip into the dirt like quicksilver.

The moon appears for night travelers, be watchful when the moon is full.

It is easier said than done.

But how to win over our fears?

The first rule is to keep an untroubled spirit.

The second is to look things in the face and know them for what they are.

Marcus Aurelius

So, how to tame the inner-storm?

Practice thinking aheadabout the negative outcomes of a situation and write down how you will deal with them.

Remind yourself of your goal,whether it is self-improvement to building an empire.

Train your mind to be curious,especially during troubling times.

Do not resist the turbulence, and be a powerful force to carry on.
