Be You
Sharing the Secrets
You are already whole.
“Our life is spent trying to fix what isn’t broken. This is the big cosmic irony.
Nothing you do ever solves the problem, because there isn’t one! YOU ARE ALREADY WHOLE. YOU WERE NEVER NOT WHOLE. You only forgot that you were whole and still are whole. If you are already whole, adding more will not make you any more whole.” – Kamini Desai
