Seneca: Morning can find someone exalted and evening…

A good season can make us careless, and a bad season can make us certain that nothing will improve. Both conclusions forget how quickly conditions turn. The project that wins praise today may face trouble next month. The difficult period that seems permanent may open into help, recovery, or a new direction. This uncertainty is not a reason to be passive. It is a reason to carry prosperity modestly and difficulty patiently. When things are going well, use the margin to prepare, share, and stay grounded. When they are not, avoid making permanent decisions from a temporary mood. The future is not promised to either your confidence or your fear. Today, consider the area of life that feels most settled or most hopeless. Bring the same response to both: do the next sound thing, remain teachable, and leave room for change.
