Serenity Quote by Ritu Ghatourey

“Take a leave yourself alone day. Dont try to improve yourself. Dont try to change or fix anything. Dont even try to be happy or peaceful. Dont do anything. Just sit there and let everything be what it is. Sometimes you have to leave yourself alone and hey presto, stillness gives you the world.” quote by Ritu Ghatourey
