HERE'S TO CONCLUDE WITH A DISCLAIMER
i am no teacher or saint to preach or teach people
but by god’s grace i come upon such references from books and teachings from spiritual books which gives us a lot of wisdom and ways to live our valuable life meaningfully
and teach ourselves and the people whom we associate with – to live with the right code of conduct and to raise our standard of living
making smaller changes in life will not only help us be a better individual but also bring a valuable change in the society, in the current scenario which is very much required
however small it may be but let’s atleast start from OURSELVES
let’s make the world a better place with our small efforts in all aspects of living
so that’s all friends, hope i could bring some insight in you
Stay relaxed and rejuvenated! 🌿
until next time, keep smiling
much love .. stay happy .. stay blessed … ALWAYS
