She was never one to raise her voice. In fact, she was the "calm one" — always careful with her words, always seeking peace and eager to be helpful. Yet, a few years into a verbal and emotionally abusive relationship, she noticed a shift. She found herself snapping, defensive and impatient; ready to throw back any hurtful words spoken to her. One day, after a particularly heated exchange, she sat alone wondering: "Who am I becoming? This isn’t me."

Living a life of impact that makes a difference—helping those in need without any expectation of return—truly cultivates lasting joy.

In our workplaces, businesses, and personal lives, there are demands for our time and attention from everyone and anyone.

This is what we call “suffering”! I want to acknowledge that your pain is valid and it’s not your fault.

Your little bit could also be a small act of kindness. It may be small to you and yet make a world of difference to someone else.

It's not about what you have not done but what you have achieved. It's about the person you are becoming.
