What began as a personal journey soon revealed a truth far more surprising than expected.This is not simply a talk about positive thinking or quick fixes. It is a reflection on what lies beneath the surface of our everyday lives. Through storytelling, questions, and lived experience, Musa shares a fresh perspective on happiness. One that challenges what we think we know, and offers something deeper, more lasting, and more real.Musa invites us to look inward with honesty and curiosity.
