Suggestion #6: Have a solid foundation

In perfumery, the foundation of a fragrance is called its base. The elements making up the base are called base notes. These notes are the ones that last the longest and hold the whole composition together.

In life, as in perfumery, it pays to have a solid foundation. When you have a firm base from which to operate, you are less likely to be beaten down by life’s inevitable upsets. Discover whatever it is that helps you feel centered, calm and secure. And then try to do it every day.
