May the lights this Diwali brighten up our world and deliver us from darkness to brilliance

May this world acknowledge diversity of opinions, and be more inclusive. May we build more bridges than walls. May we embrace change, and in the process stand firm on our principles.

May we look within, and find contentment in our self, our environment, and our relationships. May we find peace within, reflect on it, and contribute in making the world more peaceful.

May we express gratitude more often, and lead with courage. May we act with purpose and intent, and inspire action in those around us.
