Moments like these — sitting on a sunlit bench in NYC, sipping my coffee — remind me how little it actually takes to recharge and feel at peace.
Too often, I catch myself chasing people, experiences, or achievements, believing they’ll bring me happiness and energy. But more often than not, they leave me feeling drained — or worse, anxious.
Sometimes, the real magic isn’t in the chase but in the stillness. In simply being present.
Have you ever had a moment like this? Where you realized joy was right in front of you all along?
