However, when you are mentally prepared for pain, it can’t make you suffer easily. If most people suffer, it is because they are always expecting pleasure and happiness in their life. Hence, when suffering knocks at their door, they are unprepared for it and suffer immense pain.” ― Awdhesh Singh, 31 Ways to Happiness
- “I only need to look at the heart and soul of a human being to know the nature of such individual; I don’t really care about what goes on in the mind, as the mind is usually confused and lost, and without the heart will never find itself. The heart can only find peace when the soul is manifesting itself through it. And the soul has all the keys to the nature of the individual, far much more than what the individual can see when using the mind. And that is why, to the dismay of many, I seem to know them better than they know themselves. I do know them better, because I know their soul, while they only know their mind.” ― Dan Desmarques, Codex Illuminatus: Quotes & Sayings of Dan Desmarques
- “Facing your fears is key to flowing with Life…Flowing is an important word here: are you flowing with Life or are you fighting it? When you flow with Life, through accepting and living with what is, then miraculously, magically, Life reveals a big secret to you – that fearlessness is not the absence of fear…in fact, it is what fear delivers to you when you turn around and face a situation that is tormenting you, scaring you. What you run away from, will chase you, haunt you…but when you face your fears, the game changes dramatically! You are in control now, not your fears! And when you are in control, while you may not be able to solve every problem immediately, you can deal with the situation calmly, efficiently. This is how you learn to be happy, no matter what you are going through!” ― AVIS Viswanathan

It is in the center of the chaos that the wise find the perfect balance, between what should and shouldn’t be, what has been and could be, right and wrong, fear and courage. Along this path, luck favors those who are brave enough to ignore the conceptualizations of what is real or unreal, appreciated or unappreciated, possible or impossible. And thus, their life is guided towards risk with safety provided by the third eye.” ― Dan Desmarques
