Hi dear reader,

​In life's chaos, we often feel overwhelmed.

But in those moments

"Our values and wisdom serve us most."

So, revel in a few lines of wisdom from: ​​

Fyodor Dostoevsky

​"The greatest happiness is to know the source of unhappiness." ​
To be truly happy, it helps to know what makes you sad or upset. Once you figure that out, you can work on it and find ways to make your life better and more joyful. ​

"To love someone means to see them as God intended them."
When you really love someone, you see the good in them, even if they make mistakes. It’s like seeing the person they’re meant to be, helping them find their best self. ​

"I am a sick man... I am a spiteful man. An unattractive man. I believe I am not only ill but also a scoundrel."
Sometimes, people feel bad about themselves and get stuck in a loop of negative thoughts. Recognizing these feelings is important because it’s the first step toward healing and finding a way to be kinder to yourself. ​

"If you want to overcome the whole world, overcome yourself." ​
The toughest battle isn't with others; it's with your own fears, doubts, and bad habits. Conquer these, and you can achieve anything and find true meaning in life.

"Man is a mystery. It needs to be unraveled, and if you spend your whole life unraveling it, don’t say that you’ve wasted time." ​
Life is like a big puzzle. Even if you spend all your time trying to understand yourself and others, it's never wasted. The more you explore, the more you learn about what makes life meaningful.​ ​
