Bhagavad Gita 2.14

Contacts with their objects, O son of Kunti, give rise to cold and heat, pleasure and pain.

"Contacts with their objects, O son of Kunti, give rise to cold and heat, pleasure and pain. They come and go and are impermanent. Endure them bravely."

Modern explanation

As the day quiets, hold this: Feelings are weather, not climate. The strongest storm still ends.

Practical application

Write down three things from today that turned out fine, despite your worry about them.
