You can also enjoy experiences, company, contemplations.
Not necessarily material things.
Happiness is a journey, not a destination. It's important to remember to enjoy the journey and not just focus on the final destination. 🌅
"Happiness is not to be found in the possession of things, but in the enjoyment of them."
-Seneca

"Even if fear has more arguments, always choose hope."
- Seneca
Face adversities as opportunities to learn and grow. Remember, today's challenge is tomorrow's strength.
We grow thanks to the unwanted.
Adversity tests our character and sharpens our focus.
We enjoy the good times and grow stronger in the bad times.
Embrace uncertainty, one step at a time.
Small transformations build luminous paths to your dreams.
Don't be afraid of change. Change, discovery, is part of life. Let yourself go with life and move forward.
Our brain loves the familiar, and nothing scares it more than sustained uncertainty.
When trying to make a big change, start with small steps.
Simple, sustained habits in your routine will take you farther than drastic modifications in one day.
"Think of each day as an individual life."
- Seneca
