Sometimes in life, you become aware that you have more money than friends. But let me tell you, it's not about the numbers or material possessions.

So, do not let the illusion of wealth deceive you, for those who have nothing but genuine love and support are richer than any fortune in the world. It is during testing times, when you see the true colors of those around you, and that is where your true wealth truly lies. – Yvonne Padmos	added by Freelancer 3 months ago

We often prevaricate, think and overthink, and hold ourselves back from going for the things we want to achieve most in life. The main reason for this is we tend to analyze our circumstances too much and end up thinking, “This is not the right time!”. We wait, we evaluate and stay cocooned in the illusion that we should delay until circumstances change for the better. Little do we understand that “Time and Tide Waits for None!” Circumstances will not change themselves, the best time will never come, we have to CREATE the right time, and the best time is RIGHT NOW! So go ahead, take the bull by its horns and make NOW the BEST time that ever could be. – Prashant Agarwal	added by prashantagarwal 3 years ago

It's drivel. – Chris Patten	Found on Reuters 3 years ago
Our everyday reality is a grand illusion which we are creating. By exploring and changing our inner world, we begin to transform our outer world. If we are willing to embark on an inner journey, we can discover all of the beliefs, expectations, and hidden agendas through which we create our own lives, and collectively, we can begin to shape the future in ways that honor the sacredness of all life. – Jayne Warrilow	added by anonymous 3 years ago
There is a mere difference between uncertainty and insecurity. Once your fear coincides with insecurity, your decisions get manipulated with this fear of uncertainty. Or in other words, if you allow these feelings of insecurity and uncertainty to reside in you, they often lead to cause fear. You are thereby deceived by this fear which will provide discomfort in your real-life situations. We can eliminate this fear within us by believing in our capabilities. If you learn to embrace this uncertainty, life would rather become an adventure. If you want to succeed or accomplish your goals, then you need to make sure that you don't allow this illusion of fear to mislead you or take control over your mind and soul. – Prashant Agarwal	added by prashantagarwal 3 years ago
