People are like stained glass windows, they sparkle and shine when the sun is out, but when darkness sets in, their true beauty is only seen if there is a light within.
There is no need to go to India or anywhere else to find peace. You will find that deep place of silence right in your room, your garden or even your bathtub.
It's only when we truly know and understand that we have a limited time on earth -- and that we have no way of knowing when our time is up -- that we will begin to live each day to the fullest, as if it was the only one we had.
Learn to get in touch with the silence within yourself and know that everything in this life has a purpose.
The most beautiful people I've known are those who have known trials, have known struggles, have known loss, and have found their way out of the depths.
