No matter how much we grow, difficult people will test our peace. Real power isn’t mastering others—it’s mastering yourself.

Stay centered
Set clear boundaries.
Release what you can't control

Save this for when you need to move with peace.

— Zig Ziglar

In 10th grade, I asked my geometry teacher, “Why are we learning this?”
And he didn't know either!

When we teach without context, learning loses meaning.
