Finding balance between opposites

 We all strive for a balanced and peaceful life. We want to maintain our level of comfort we experience in our safety nets everyday. What we don't realize without suffering there would be no compassion, without chaos there would be no peace. In order to understand the existence of those two emotions we must experience both. Life is very fragile. So are we as human beings. Lately l have experience with finding my balance between those extremes. One of my main goals is to a peaceful life during my college years. I try to do everything I can to make sure I stabilized the main areas and the direction of my life. When I start feeling like I am making some progress,  something unexpected happens and suddenly I am recked by worry attacks asking myself how l am going to be able to handle this situation? Why I lost the stabilization of my life? Will l ever have a life without problems and crisis? I think when we grow up, we are too often told everything is gonna be fine no matter what happens, because our parents there to solve it , but this family taught perspective  is not realistic. When we step into real life in college we will have problems and crisis no matter what happens.The key is how we are gonna choose to handle them without our parents? This is where my story starts.
