DESIGN INTERVENTION

All suffering comes from attachment. I try to live a life of peace, joy, love and happiness. Whenever I feel I’m holding on to something too hard or even a specific outcome and it is not working out, I let it go. I visualize letting it go. It’s amazing how when you let things (or outcomes) it opens up space for something much better to come in.
