The problem is not the problem. The problem is how you think about the problem. - Jay Shetty

the only thing that stays with you from the moment you’re born until the moment you die is your breath. All your friends, your family, the country you live in, all of that can change. The one thing that stays with you is your breath.” This ten-year-old monk added, “When you get stressed — what changes? Your breath. When you get angry — what changes? Your breath. We experience every emotion with the change of the breath. When you learn to navigate and manage your breath, you can navigate any situation in life.

No matter how dissatisfied you are with your pyramid, don’t promote people without reason. They will only let you down.

We believe that what we want in a relationship is what others want in a relationship.

We see things as we are.
