We chase happiness as though it hides in the future, yet a saint once explained that the barriers to joy aren’t outside us—they’re within two simple words we repeat every day. Remove them, and what remains may surprise you.
Someone asked a saint: “I want happiness.”
The saint replied:
“Remove I → ego disappears.
Remove want → desire disappears.
What remains is happiness.”

Johnbritto Kurusumuthu, the founder of Rise&Inspire—a space where his passions for law, faith, technology, and personal growth come together. His journey began in teaching, government service, and policy work, always guided by a commitment to integrity and the public good. Over time, he discovered the joy of writing—not just to explain, but to empower. What started as a small blog has now grown into a platform where he shares reflections on faith, legal literacy, technology, and daily inspiration. He believes words can transform people, and people, in turn, can transform the world. For him, faith and reason walk hand in hand, and knowledge should always be accessible and practical. Open to collaborations in writing, research, digital outreach, and social impact, he extends an invitation:let’s rise and inspire together.
