"Smile Mastery is Life Mastery"

“The seed for greatness and blissful happiness lies in the ordinary occasions of life and usually in absolute obscurity…..In the depths of our misery, discontent, unease, our very human condition, lies that genius which when discovered, cultivated, and nurtured with absolute faith, will unfold the magnificent, exquisite Divine Power, the highest manifestation and essence of who we are as human beings. Embrace our circumstances we must, no matter what… we must resolve to uncover the elusive and dormant seed of knowledge, wisdom, grace, light …..Our Divine Birthright and True Greatness and nourish it relentlessly till fruition” ~ Esi A.
