Why are my valleys deeper than my mountains are high?

Your valleys are deeper because you cling to safety; choose the risky ascent, for it is in danger that you awaken your true depth and vitality.

— Osho
According to Osho, your valleys are deeper because you keep digging them—clinging to safety, comfort, and fear—while refusing to climb your mountains. Responsibility is yours. Choose the risky ascent: live dangerously, take challenges, and head for sunlit peaks. Danger awakens depth and vitality; avoidance breeds shallow security and self-made graves. Become a sannyasin—move upward, not downward.

Your lows feel bigger because you keep making safe, easy choices that dig the hole; stop digging and start climbing with brave steps.
