There is no correlation between wealth & happiness
What truly shapes a meaningful life - not what we own, but what we do, how we choose to live, and the attitude we bring to what life hands us. Even in the hardest circumstances, we have agency over the life we create

I choose peace
not the silence of the world
but the quiet within
where the heart can rest
and the mind can breathe
I choose peace
not the absence of storms
but the calm in the eye
where anger softens
and sorrow finds its place
I choose peace
not to escape life
but to hold it gently

Legend tells of a bird with a broken wing who begged each tree for shelter from the cold. All the trees refused; only a fir tree offered it sanctuary. For this kindness the Frost King decreed that the North Wind should never blow away its leaves in winter.
