Travis Ruskus explains how a simple breath can pull you out of past regrets or future anxiety and back to the present. He frames failures as tests of whether you really believe in your goal, and uses rock balancing as a metaphor for finding inner equilibrium and contentment.
A lot of what we do in our daily life is getting caught up in the past or worrying about the future. And if you can just breathe, it's almost like a little poke you give yourself to say, here you are right now. And that alone has allowed me to save a lot of the angry emails that I would write if things weren't working out or something, and just kind of take a breath and just be like, okay, no, this is the moment right now of something didn't go your way. And I believe that every failure is a test to see how much you truly believe in something. And ultimately, with rock balancing, all it is is finding the point within yourself of when you're happy.
