Keep only your feet in the murky, unclear waters of human emotions. When something stings or your feet start to get wrinkly, take your feet out, allow them to dry, rest and recuperate. With the rest of you outside, you can feel what it is to be human, but will never drown in its fold. The intellect, therefore must be outside the murky waters.

If you feel you are already drowning, unable to think clearly, stick out your hand and reach out to your rescuer above, for surely there is a rescuer. Surrender completely, and calmly because unlike the murky waters of any of the 5 oceans, the harder you kick and gasp in panic here, the further you drown.

Let us take the battle of the mind outside. Outside the comfort zone, it is a level playing field. Inside, the mind always wins because it is so much easier. It is so much easier to be comfortable. If you're a true warrior, take the battle outside.
