Right. I'm seeing a lot of chatter about "earthquake San Ramon" again, and it’s quite interesting how quickly we can get rattled. It reminds me of what Sheryl often says on "It Starts with Joy"—that life will always provide tremors. It’s not about stopping the shaking, as Jon might suggest, but about how we choose to respond when the ground beneath us shifts.

I heard Sophia's point about our stable world feeling like it can shatter in a second. And she’s right, it can. But joy isn't about pretending those moments don't exist. It’s about choosing your ground. It’s about being so clear on your values, so strategically aligned with what truly matters, that when the external world moves, your internal world remains steady. That's not soft. Joy is the strongest choice you'll ever make.

When you feel that unease, that fear bubbling up, pause. Let’s not confuse urgency with alignment. Breathe. Now decide from the part of you that’s steady. What’s the truth beneath that story of panic? Where can you find your own unwavering center, even when everything else is in motion?
