“The source to constant happiness is only found within you, and spiritual work is the pathway to find and make that fountain flow. In so doing, you’ll be able to take your challenges and turn them into searches for treasure. Open enough treasures, and you’ll even be able to instantly ignite happiness in those around you.”

“No one possesses the ultimate truth. The advice we receive from others is usually drawn from their personal experiences, but it doesn’t necessarily mean their truth will align with ours. This includes advice from our parents. Although they usually offer guidance out of love, their narratives are unique to them and should not automatically become our narratives. We must consciously create our own stories, otherwise we risk blindly following in others’ footsteps.”
