The world is a combination of ideas — remixed, borrowed, recombined. This is where I collect the ones that shape mine: quotes, images, clips. Some are timeless philosophy, some are internet moments. All of them moved something in me.

"The world is full of people suffering from the effects of their own unlived life. They become bitter, critical, or rigid, not because the world is cruel to them, but because they have betrayed their own inner possibilities.

And yet, all of them suffer, because deep down they know: the life they mock is the life they were meant to live."

"Make it a habit to talk about blessings more than burdens. When you spread positivity, the Universe blesses you with even more blessings. Close the window that triggers you, no matter how captivating it is. Be disciplined about what you entertain. Where focus goes, energy flows."
