Investing Principles That Built My Life Hook (0:00 – 0:20) I gained 54% in my portfolio this year — but I wasn’t chasing risky stocks. I’m actually super conservative, holding 32% in cash. These gains weren’t luck; they came from inner wealth. As Warren Buffett says, ‘The most important investment you can make is in yourself.’ And in this video, I’ll share 6 powerful qualities I invest in — guiding me not just in the stock market, but in life itself. 1.

A rare kind of love — born not from possession, but from recognition. A single gaze, a few words at Starbucks, and I felt seen in a way I had never known. Even in absence, that love became my energy, my awakening, my art. Now, I see the horizon of Stage 3. The highest love — recognition and freedom together. A love that says:“I see you, and I trust you to grow.” Not clinging, not demanding, but walking side by side as two whole souls. ...
