Life is a continuous learning journey. Sometimes we hurt ourselves and sometimes we get hurt.
More importantly life isn't about being perfect, it's about learning, forgiving each other and growing from the experiences .
Stay humble, be forgiving, and never stop improving oneself.

Believe that nothing happens by chance. Every joy & every struggle has a purpose. When you accept both blessings & trials are purposeful, your heart finds peace. See setbacks not as punishments, but as guided lessons. Trusting in Almighty & walk forward for yr path is divinely guided. This is Ikigai

Sometimes, true strength lies not in taking, but in self-control.
Mastering self-control is ultimately more difficult and more challenging than attempting to control the world around us.

Many a time, I have been asked, 'How do you handle stress?
Stress comes from the difference between what we expect and what actually happens. The wider the difference, the more stressed we feel. The solution is expect less and accept more.

DNDi’s journey is like a bus ride, the founding partners were the first to board & many have since gotten off. Along the way, new members have joined, keeping the mission alive & moving forward. After serving 12 yrs my stop is approaching, but I take comfort in knowing that the journey will continue
