What Sustains You from the Inside?

We’ve all heard that everything in this world is fleeting – our successes, our failures, our relationships, our breakups, our joys, our sorrows.  I’m not saying those things are not important – certainly it’s incredibly important to fully feel each of those experiences.  But throughout the inevitable changes that occur in our lives, many of us tend to look for something constant to keep us grounded. We all find it in different ways. Some of us find it in reading books, fixing cars, observing a religious tradition, spending time with friends, or working out. It may not be the same thing that we spend our time doing to make a living, but it is the thing we do to regenerate our spirits during the difficult hours, and to remind ourselves what it is that we work for.
