Is Your Energy a Luxury or a Commodity?
The simple statement, “You should think of your energy as an expensive luxury. Not everyone can afford it. Not everyone has invested effort in you, so you don't need to invest effort in these people. Where you spend your energy is where your day is,” has left a deep impression on me.

Does Love Have to Die Three Times Before the Soul Awakens?
Many people believe that love is eternal, unconditional, and involves sacrifice, dedication, and wholehearted devotion.

“A dress for poor people!” my daughter said. But at the party, when I walked in, she fainted...
