The steady boat

The human isn't made to be happy but to find fulfillment in purpose. For example, anyone who has children knows that we are terrified for them and we worry which only adds to our stress and yet they bring us so much pride, joy and satisfaction.

If things are too easy in our lives and there isn't enough challenge we can become bored and the brain deteriorates from a loss of objective. Conversely if there is too much stress we can fall prey to burn outs and other health issues.

Keeping the boat steady requires steadfast vigilance and attention to the psyche and we readjust our objectives as required.
