Assalamualaikum.
Happy birthday to my dear self.
String of beautiful words to share today for my 29 year old self.
On life - Take it one day at a time, a grain of sand at a time. Live in the moment. Plan, but have no anxiety.
(How to Stop Worrying and Start Living, Dale Carnegie)
On the past - You cannot change the past but you can create the future you want.
On the future - Fret not where the road will take you. Once you take the first step, let everything do what it naturally does and the rest will follow. Do not go with the flow. Be the flow.
(The Forty Rules of Love, Elif Shafak)
On success - It is being able to go to bed each night with your soul at peace.
(Manuscript Found in Accra, Paulo Coelho)
On failures - When life dissappoints, rest a moment. Downcast and heartbroken, I know you were once me and I was once you.
(Manuscript Found in Accra, Paulo Coelho)
On solitude - Being alone without feeling lonely.
(The Forty Rules of Love, Elif Shafak)
On marriage - To be loved and chosen by a good man is the best and sweetest thing which can happen to a woman. It is natural to think of it, right to hope and wait for it, and wise to prepare for it, so when happy time comes, you may feel ready for the duties and worthy of the joy.
(Little Women, Louisa May Alcott)
On motherhood - Mothers may differ in their management, but their hope is the same in all - the desire to see their children happy.
(Little Women, Louisa May Alcott)
On work - I liked my job, and while it isnt perfect, I also liked my life.
(Becoming, Michelle Obama)
On books - I've most of them written on my brains and printed in my heart, and you cannot deprive me of those.
(Wuthering Heights, Emily Bronte)
