WE ARE THE STARS

That we are non-physical souls having a physical experience. You are not a spiritual human, you are a spirit having a temporary physical dream. Your consciousness is not in your body, your body is in your consciousness. Therefore, you’re eternal & infinite. If you exist now, you must by definition exist forever, because non-existence already doesn’t exist, and never will. Read More>>

I’ve come to deeply understand the value of every second. I truly love my life, including the challenges I’ve faced and continue to face. I try to take every problem with a smile and not give energy to things that don’t truly matter. Read More>>

What I understand deeply, what lives in my bones is that gratitude, kindness, and belief in others are not soft virtues. They are the real power. Most people chase status, hustle for validation, or guard their success like it’s scarce. But that is not the way. Gratitude shifts perspective. Kindness opens doors. And believing in others creates a ripple that changes everything. Read More>>
