You’re going to experience highs and lows every single day. If you’re doing things right, they are always going to coexist at the same time. You can’t get addicted to one or the other because they will always be there. It’s really easy to get addicted to the highs or put too much emphasis and importance on the lows, but in order to sustain yourself, you need to find balance.
