About This Quote

I felt as if I were riding a pendulum. Just as I would swing into the abyss of hopelessness, the pendulum would swing back with some small goodness. Life is all about ups and downs. When we’re on the upswing, we tend to feel good.

But when we’re down, we tend to feel bad. The swing of the pendulum brings us back to stable ground and helps us understand that we can always get back on the upswing if we work hard and stay focused.
