I wanted to add one more thing Ian. You know, it's not our purpose in life to be idle. What is "stability" in our life anyway? Expecting all things in our life to remain constant and stable, will end in disappointment. The world changes and dictates to us, not the other way around.
There is a time and a season for everything. Seize the favorable opportunity for every good purpose in your life. The time to die is fast approaching. Embrace the change.
"It is curious that physical courage should be so common in the world and moral courage so rare." -Mark Twain
