If tranquility represents a calm mind, equanimity is a balanced mind that is able to stay centered or return to center. Strong equanimity allows you to see life clearly.
Do you believe that you are capable of living with a major difficulty in a skillful way? The untrained mind naturally reacts unskillfully to difficulties. When confronted with a difficult experience, the untrained mind wants to be anywhere but in the present moment, where it perceives acute unpleasantness. So rather than staying with the experience and determining the best possible way to relate to it, the mind jumps to creating a story that involves worrying about the future or judging oneself or others. When you stop objecting to the difficult, two benefits arise: you suffer less, and you have more energy at your disposal to skillfully deal with the difficult when it arises.
