In regards to the daily troubles in life, the holy person has internalized that everything is great, all the time. Nothing shakes him, because he knows that Christ has satisfied what C.S. Lewis so famously called the "Deeper Magic Before the Dawn of Time". From a zoomed-out perspective, we can see that we're rescued from death, so whether or not our lives play out exactly as we planned is not really that big of a deal. A holy person knows this, through and through.
When he feels like things are not great, he reprimands himself, because he also knows that during that moment, he has lost perspective.
I'm losing perspective a little bit today, but writing out these things that I know but haven't fully internalized has helped. It's amazing how much a little spiritual journaling helps the soul - journaling pins down the whims of emotion and forces it to reconcile with knowledge.
