At our recent Think Tank session, a panel of educators came together to explore how stories can be used to reinforce lessons in wellbeing. We reflected on the story of The Farmer and His Horse — a tale that reminds us how quickly we judge situations as ‘good’ or ‘bad’, without seeing the full picture.
As the story unfolded, we paused to reflect:
How do we respond when things don’t go our way?
How can we stay anchored in inner poise while navigating daily challenges?
We asked our panel:
Is there a tool or word of wisdom that helps you stay composed when life doesn’t go as planned?
Here’s what emerged from our conversation — practical tools, personal stories, and shared wisdom for staying grounded.
