What I’ve Learned in Life
I have learned that the most important things in life are free. That as long as I never forget that my spiritual life comes before my material life, I will be ok.

That fear is just a state of mind, and nothing else. That I should be aware of how I see the world, because the world will be exactly as…
Making Happiness An Attainable Goal
Whatever the nature of our problems and difficulties, there is hope for us. No matter how much we feel unhappy, discouraged, and hopeless at the present time, happiness is still within reach.

8 Tips For Living a Fulfilled Life
1) My father, disabled and unable to work, always told me, "Anger will get you nothing. What you have to do is turn around the person who is doing an injustice.
