In medieval and ancient philosophy, the Wheel of Fortune or Rota Fortunae is a symbol of the capricious nature of Fate. The wheel belongs to the goddess Fortuna (Greek equivalent: Tyche) who spins it at random, changing the positions of those on the wheel: some suffer great misfortune, others gain windfalls. -per Wikipedia
“Thirty spokes share the hub of a wheel; yet it is its center that makes it useful.” –Tao Te Ching by Lao Tzu
“Happiness, fulfillment, well-being, and sustainable performance arise when you concentrate on being present in the process of living instead of obsessing over outcomes, and above all when you’re firmly grounded wherever you are.” -Brad Stulberg, book The Practice of Groundedness: A Transformative Path to Success That Feeds–Not Crushes–Your Soul
If life is a wheel of fortune, then the only way to avoid fear and anxiety is not to live in the ever-changing rim, but rather, to remain in the center.
What is the center? It’s that place where no matter what happens, you always come back to and feel grounded.
Find your center and you will find your peace.
