Your core
I was watching an interview of Yami Gautam today wherein she tells the host about what made her fall in love with Aditya Dhar. I'm not usually the one to watch these interviews but it came on my timeline.
What she mentioned just stuck with me through the day.
'Through thick and thin he has stuck to his core values and not deviated...even when it would have been justified for him to opt into convenience for once.'
Whether this is true or not, I do not know. But it does seem to me that this is the code for having a peaceful life....not necessarily successful in conventional terms but peaceful for sure. It matters what you stand for and stand against.
