We all have a diamond in the center of our chest. It’s an energetic Confluence and there’s tremendous Joy there. The problem is that diamond is a little bit Dusty, little dirty so we have to clean up that diamond right so we can access it and that’s where incredible joy and meaning come from. – Dr. Barry Kerzin

True joy and meaning come from within.

Often, these feelings are overlooked due to busy schedules or scattered thoughts.
