She said that rather than looking for love, peace and happiness,we must believe that we are Ourselves Peace, Love and Happiness. She spoke about the futility that anger as a habit holds and emphasized on the need to let go of such feelings. She remarked that we all must reclaim our emotional remote control from every other person in the environment and be at peace with ourselves and the world around.
