This phrase suggests that your emotions are not just passive responses to the world around you but are also influenced by the way you choose to behave. In other words, your actions can shape your mood and overall emoti...

This concept sounds so easy but is very difficult for many people. It carries great significance in personal development and mental well-being. This simple yet powerful mantra encourages you to focus on your own journey and aspirations without getting caught up in the trap of constant comparison. It seems obvious that comparing yourself to others can be detrimenta...
