We all  want to be Unshakeable, to be able to weather any storm that comes. Most of us think that the way to do so is to  resist difficulties, remove ourselves, focus on something else. When we do so, that which is troubling us doesn't disappear. It simply goes underground and gives fuel to  underlying anxiety and fear that  can hit at any time.
The true way to be Unshakeable is to make friends with all of life. To  allow each moment, each person, and each event that comes to be what it is. To experience it fully and then simply let it go. When we do not cling to a moment, try to own it, identify with it, or become embroiled in other ways, it naturally disappears and transforms into something else. Although we might like this to happen with difficult moments,  we want to hold onto happy or beautiful moments and people endlessly. The secret  is we must adopt this open allowing with all moments, people and events. Let them Live. Let them Be As and Who They Are.  As we say in Zen, "When You Come We Welcome, When You Go We Do Not Pursue"
