It's because we're too busy trying to be happy. So that right there takes me every single day. And knowing that every single thing that I do on a daily basis, like trying to teach you to bring me peace, to make me happy, it doesn't matter if I'm reading, walking, having a conversation with somebody in the street, as long as I'm working on my personal development to help me become the person that I see myself as being.
