Economic troubles ahead? Go deeper.

Kimberly Fletcher

An article I recently read declared that we should “brace for the impact” of a pending economic crisis. It reasoned that if one country went into default on its debt, it would trigger economic shock waves that would inevitably impact all neighboring economies. 

I considered if “bracing for the impact” was the best advice for dealing with the storms of life, economic or otherwise. In my own experience, a more effective means of mitigating the impact of an approaching wave is to go deeper.

Mary Baker Eddy observes: “. . . the heaving surf of life’s troubled sea foams itself away, and underneath is a deep-settled calm” (Message to The Mother Church for 1902, p. 19).
