The seatbelt

It’s easy to think we have a single seatbelt — that everything is clipped to it.
So when something goes wrong, it can feel as though we’re suddenly exposed.

But this isn’t true.

We have dozens of seatbelts.

One moment won’t undo us.
One area of vulnerability. One flaw. One misstep.
None of these, on their own, have the power we fear.

When risks feel enormous, it’s often because we’ve attached everything to them.
In reality, we’re often safer than our fear would have us believe.
