Do not despair when you encounter bumps in the
road.  The path of life is never a smooth
one.  Never.  If it had no ups and downs, where would be
the learning and the growth?  If you
cannot embrace the bumps, then simply take your foot off the accelerator and
glide. Bumps are easier when you do not tense or brake.  Just take them slowly and flow over
them.  Soon you will come to a smooth
patch again.  It is the Way.  When you recognize this, you can unclench
your teeth and enjoy the ride.
