“You can't stop the waves, but you can learn to surf.”
— Jon Kabat Zinn

Simplified Meaning:
Life often throws challenges and difficulties our way, much like waves in the ocean. These challenges are inevitable and can't be avoided or stopped. However, we can choose how we respond to them. Just like a surfer learns to ride the waves instead of being overwhelmed by them, we can develop skills and strategies to handle life's problems more effectively. For example, when facing stress at work, instead of getting anxious, we might practice staying calm and focusing on finding solutions. By adapting and learning how to manage obstacles, we can maintain our balance and move forward, even when times are tough. This approach helps us grow and become stronger in the face of adversity.
