| Dear *[FNAME]*: |

| Dear One, I have good news and bad news. However you’re feeling right now, this too shall pass. In fact, if you let yourself purely feel the emotion without complicating it with language, whatever you feel will most likely end in about ninety seconds. If you’re sad, it’s fleeting. (Phew!) If you’re blissed out, it won’t last either. (Bummer.) If you’re enraged, it will move through you. (Grrrrr.) If you’re bursting with obsessively romantic fervor, the crush will fade. (Sigh . . .) Find comfort in this, darling. States are fleeting, but it’s possible to have a deeper level of joy that is not dependent on transient states. When you’re not grasping for feelings you like and resisting feelings you don’t like, you’re more likely to find gratitude in the moment for whatever experience of human emotion you’re blessed to feel right now. Don’t like how you feel in this present moment? Don’t worry. I’m here with you every ninety seconds. Nothing lasts but me, Your Inner Pilot Light – Lissa Rankin, MD, Your Inner Pilot Light |
