sentence problem Can you translate this sentence Höhen und Tiefen des Lebens können dieses Maß zwar nach oben oder unten verändern, aber auf längere Sicht pendelt sich das persönliche Wohlbefinden wieder auf dem ererbten Niveau ein. Can you also translate this "einpendeln auf" and please put some examples Thanks... :)

"Etwas einpendeln" meant originally to use a pendulum, or rather a weight suspended by a string, to adjust something incrementelly until it is level. So "sich auf etwas einpendeln" describes an action where something does this on its own. Ups and downs in life can move this amount (context for "Maß" is missing, maybe a different translation is better) upwards or downward, but in the long run the personal sense of well-being will even out on the inherited level.
