I was the lava that needed physical and emotional protection in that cocoon, only to emerge as a butterfly with colourful multiple reflections.

Outstanding people have one thing in common: They do not fear failure. They capitalize on the experience. Like the mystical Phoenix, they always rise from their own ashes.

And, until the pain of remaining the same is worse than the resistance of change, you will remain the same, defeated, dejected, frustrated and unable to move on or see opportunities in front of you. You remain the prisoner of the collective idea as opposed to your own.

Success is only measured through struggle and anything that is wearing you down today should be your source of inspiration-lack of money, joblessness, health, relationships. If you had it all, what would you strive for?

The memory of my father speaks to me not of death, but of an undying, invincible spirit.

I truly believe that it takes one minute to make a decision to start reconditioning your mind to succeed.

Painful experiences are an inevitable part of life. We could achieve a lot by awakening that inner alchemy that lies inside us.

Those difficult moments are meant to help us develop strength and resilience to succeed. They are meant to show us that we are unbreakable.

The purpose of your life is to realise what you are, to awaken, to grow and evolve. Everything can be alchemised for this purpose through gratitude.
