"People tell you to create your own happiness because the peace that comes with being happy isnt a product of luxury; its a product of alignment.

Because happiness isnt about collecting things; its about connecting deeply with yourself your values your purpose and your peace. Some people are surrounded by everything they once prayed for but still cant"

You start to think differently about time quality and value. You grow new standards and a new mindset because of new realities. It will humble you and stretch you at the same time"
