to your happiness.” –

not a finish line. Happiness
isn’t comfort. To be happy
is to be honest. Love the
world… but love yourself, too.

View (Interdependence Insight)
It is a practice.
A flow state.
A choice repeated through trials and triumphs.
It’s aliveness.
It comes from creating,
contributing, and
aligning.
To live in contradiction and pretend contentment is to wear a mask over
a mirror.
Real happiness means dealing with anger, grief, and doubt—not escaping
them.
Create a life path you’d follow even if no one praised you for it.
Dare to dream—and dare to change course.
Let your work be worship, your days be devotion.
Expectations can become traps.
Let go.
Instead: intend,
act, and
receive.

Practice

Reflections
(The irony of ambition is
real. Make sure what you build is worth being trapped in.)
Fuve
Principle
It grows not from what you earn—but from what you
allow.
Happiness is the bright flame of presence and gratitude.
Sadness is the sacred ache of letting go.
Happiness arises from connection, meaning, and inner peace—it
expands the heart and nourishes the spirit.
Sadness comes from loss, unmet desires, or deep empathy. It is not a
flaw, but a signal of care and change.
“I welcome joy and honor my sorrow—they both belong.”
→ Ask yourself: What is my sadness trying to release or restore?
Sadness is often the shadow of happiness—its mirror. We grieve only
what we’ve loved. Each gives contrast to the other. Together, they
teach us to feel fully, live honestly, and cherish the impermanence
of all things.
