When you’re present in gratitude, you can’t be anywhere else. - Jay Shetty

Revenge is the mode of ignorance — it’s often said that you can’t fix yourself by breaking someone else.

You can either see the world through the lens of love and duty, or through the lens of necessity and force. Love and duty are more likely to lead to happiness.

Another person might come in with a reason. They help you learn and grow, or they support you through a difficult time. It almost feels like they’ve been deliberately sent to you to assist or guide you through a particular experience, after which their central role in your life decreases.
