5. Life is a constant cycle between plateaus and mountains. Do not mistake the plateau for a rut. Instead, lay on the flat, even ground and enjoy the temporary open space to dream. The next mountain that will demand your attention is always right around the corner anyways. You are destined to miss the reflective freedom found on the plateau when you're called to the mountain, and you're bound to miss the active sense of self found on the mountain when you're on the plateau. But, if you remain conscious of this cycle, you can enjoy the important offerings found in each terrain exactly at the time of their arrival.
