My girl and I build together; nothing ever felt so real, Im feeling the future will help us keep it here n still always will just be together

“The happiness of your life depends upon the quality of your thoughts”.

Na jukna kabhi kisi se, Na rukna kisi mod pe, Na tham na kisi rah pe, Na harna kisi hal me. Ye Hauslo ki Udan he, Tu udana badi shan se. Nishan Chuk Maf, Nahi Maf Nichu Nishan. Forget each and everything, Happiness of your life depends upon the quality of your thoughts

Quality of thought….

Meditation daily.

Persistence.

Learning

Practice.
