My mantra is: Let there be happiness in my soul, and let me share it with the world.

My message is that happiness is the first principle of life. But you must choose it. We all have pain, but suffering is a choice. You can be happier if you make some changes in your life.

Happiness is the first principle of life. Happiness basically means well-being. It is always good and always a choice... We need to make the choice to be happy in a particular situation, just as it is, and at a given moment.

We can live closer to our dreams if we are willing to dream them. And we can create a life as we want it to be.

If we could make our house a home, and then make it a sanctuary, I think we could truly find paradise on Earth.

The home is the center of your soul; it's a total reflection of your inner life. If you have a dreary home, it means you are dark inside.

A home should be an intimate autobiography of the things that you like. One of the things I'm so keen on expressing is that, if you don't do it for yourself, if you're always seeking affirmation from outside, you'll never have a home. It'll just be a house.

Don't feel you have to buy something to sit in or at. Buy something you are emotionally attached to and build your design around that. One Matisse cutout poster could provide you with your whole color scheme!
