    “Dignity—the word itself—has come to mean different things to different people, as many words do. It doesn’t just mean always being stiff and composed. It means a belief in oneself, that one is worthy of the best. Dignity means that what I have to say is important, and I will say it when it’s important for me to say it. Dignity really means that I deserve the best treatment I can receive. And that I have the responsibility to give the best treatment I can to other people.”

    *_What is the real reason for our happiness behind our accomplishments_*_ ??_ 🤔

    Our achievements can lead to a change in our life and lifestyle; the real reason for our happiness is actually inner fulfilment.

    _To achieve any dream in life requires dedication, patience and perseverance. The bigger the dream, the greater the effort and, many times longer the wait. Many times while waiting, we even feel tired, broken or hopeless. So the moment our dream comes true, we feel a zest of energy, and the time of life we thought got wasted becomes meaningful._

    Don’t ever feel disappointed and discouraged, even if the wait seems long. Your time will never get wasted. The efforts you put in will always yield a result in one way or another.

    Of course self reflextion has its rewards but this could have been a more flushed out talk with concrete sugestions like key things to reflect on , how to fit it into a busy dchedule and meathods of acheaving the goal like mindfull meditation and journaling . As is is I’m not really left with much of anything but a platitude .

    Preparing and sharing this TED talk was one of the truly wonderful experiences of my life. ✨ Every individual’s journey is personal, but I am yet to hear the story of another without taking away something applicable to my own life; 💭 I am super happy that so many people have shared with me that they gained something in listening to a little of mine. 🙏

    I am happy to connect, just reach out! 🚀

    I totally agree with him! 😊❤😊❤

    Sometimes a moment of reflection is all you need in order to be able to take a step back and take a look at things from another perspective.😊❤😊❤

    Being able to use that reflection to make better, more informed choices can change your life in so many ways!❤😊❤
