“The fear of suffering is worse than the suffering itself" - often the scenarios are not as bad as they are in our mind.

Fear of Suffering

“When every day seems the same, that is because people have stopped noticing the good things that appear in their lives.”

Gratitude and Monotonous Life

"I don’t live in either my past or my future. I’m interested only in the present because life is the moment we’re living now." Present moment is all we have, present moment is all that matters.

Living in the Present

“When we strive to become better than we are, everything around us becomes better too.”

Life Improvement

“There is only one way to learn. It’s through action. Everything you need to know you will learn through your journey.”
