"Equanimity" (ee-kwuh-'nim-i-tee) is defined by "Webster's Dictionary" as
"evenness of mind especially under stress, a right disposition and balance." In the vernacular of ordinary people it means being cool or calm, even in the midst of umnpleasant circumstances.

 

In life you will experience pain and joy
And your laughter will be turned into tears
But despite ups and downs and wins and losses
Your life need not be merely a roll-a-coaster!

You have the power to become a new you,
So choose yourself and be your own best friend;
Be a friend to others and give all to love
And celebrate life in all its fullness.

"If you can meet with Triumph and Disaster
And treat those two impostors just the same;...
Yours is the Earth and everything that's in it,
And - which is more - you'll be a Man my son!"

(The 1st and 2nd stanzas are by Uriah J. Fields.
The 3rd stanza is by Rudyard Kipling.)
Uriah J. Fields has composed music for these lyrics.

Wonderful advice, and it is written in such a beautiful way!
