Life is a long journey. On its way, sometimes life goes with flow, and sometimes life gets stuck. When our life goes with flow, life is full of hope, lightness and vitality. And we feel Happy. When we stuck, we are worn out, frustrated, and depressed. And we feel Unhappy. Is there anything that can help us to transform ourselves from the state of “Unhappy Stagnation” to “Happy Revitalization”? Let’s look at how SPARK ignites our lives!
