For me stable is having the energy and motivation to pursue my realistic goals, as opposed to the grandiose ones. I’m socializing regularly and taking care of myself. I will sometimes be very happy or excited in response to an event, but I’m generally just feeling satisfied and content.

It is said an Eastern monarch once charged his wise men to invent him a sentence, to be ever in view, and which should be true and appropriate in all times and situations. They presented him the words: "And this, too, shall pass away." How much it expresses! How chastening in the hour of pride! How consoling in the depths of affliction!
