“Genuine people simply prove themselves… they don’t come with a trademark on their forehead!” #MOI I always wonder, of course, after being taken advantage of, whether I will ever change! & no, the answer to the below picture, no regrets!
“Do you ever look at people around you and tell yourself, I know how they think, I understand their intentions, the game, & then you find yourself having to decide… “Is it worth my time?” Well, yes is the answer, and a situation I do not favor; sometimes all I want is to have genuine people around me, simply because I get tired of watching my steps and words while having to watch my back!”
#MOI About those in our life, some we are stuck with, others we have a choice
The difference between us is I am unconditional! What a true statement about being genuine and taken for granted; I guess there is a price for every extreme, and eventually, we will crack!
#MOI the opposite of unconditional is a non-satisfied me; see how their actions changed me!
& one day, we find ourselves at a crossroads, one taking us to duty, the other to love, another to happiness, and a last one to the mystery; It is essential to choose… No regrets; time is ticking! #MOI & the other sentence would say: I was at a crossroads; I did what I had to do, what I saw convenient at that time; I tried to love, & it was occasional; I tried to sink into a career, and I succeeded; I took the mystery road, I continued writing, and I became an internationally published author; I am still trying… The bottom line, we accept what we get but must keep on trying as, from where I am standing today, I believe the end of a journey lies in the process of reaching our goal… #MOI no goal is eternal, keep moving, developing, and reaching out to the next, and then you can say, I tried, no regrets!
“Don’t look back as you read; there is a past behind you… Don’t look back as you read; it will drain you into emotions. Don’t look back as you read; it will waste your time in justifications. Don’t look back as you read; it will hold you in the past phase. Don’t look back as you read; it will resist your improvement. Don’t look back as you are reading; there is a past behind you… unless you want to look the past in the eye and say: I cannot reset time and change you, but I sure can make the future I dream of!”
#MOI Fate came with her birth, but she knew that destiny was in her own hands!
No matter how deep the scars are, they can always be accessed with a simple memory. Scars are shallow, dormant, hidden, and are like parasites. Let us not avoid or ignore them; instead, let us face them and let them grow away. Scars will always haunt us if we fear them; let us say no more fear, say no, & physically hold them back! #MOI until I looked at them and said, you cannot access deeper ever again!
“I woke up early, sat in bed, thinking about life, my life, and more. To be honest it was a difficult morning!
Then I opened my laptop, and the first thing I saw was a personal message from a person that read my book “LIFE’S DETOURS: ALEXANDRA’S CHOICES” that said, sometimes it takes one event to change our perspective in life; thank you dear author Badiaa Hiresh for this motivational kickstart at the beginning of a new year. At that moment, I told myself mission accomplished! Yes, & no, it is just the beginning. Sometimes in life, we focus on the wrong thing, idea, negative vibes, or people, which take us down the drain; not our fault, we get stuck, and shy away from saying no. My books saved me, they taught me to speak up, and then, they were my message to those I cannot reach in person. I once needed that motivation, presented in my books, so I wrote it for you because I found it within me!
Keep faith in your heart and make your life worth it; keep faith in your heart and happiness in your spirit… May the midnight clock bring a new sunrise to you all… Sunrise with a refreshing start for those already in love & for those who need it; Thankfulness for those who cannot find gratefulness; Happiness for those who cannot reach deep in their soul; Crazy moments with exceptional memories; Miracles for skeptic people; Love to those doubting its existence… & Lastly, drink bottoms up and dare to say I want to love myself in 2023 as I deserve to be loved…
Cheers, A la votre, Salud, Slainte… To the future, to a better 2023 you all!”
#MOI I am a child of war, born in Lebanon, born with a lack of support, and here I am, risen from ashes, risen with a story, to tell, and a message that says: YOU ARE NEVER ALONE!
“Maybe it’s better this way, a sentence that reflects on my state of mind many times throughout my life. I used to say, that’s it, no way out… I used to feel, it’s better not to react when displeased and uncertain… I used to think, you have to live what was given to you.
Then, time passed. I grew, and I did on every level, and mostly inner strength; I realized that as we were given a past and a current, we were, as well, given strength, a mind, a heart, and options. So I realized that we may never have the plan, but it doesn’t mean we should not make one. & then I realized the most precious gift of all: FAITH.”
“My birthday is an emotional day to me, between celebrating and meditating, I get lost in deep thoughts under the title: Life and what it offers us!
The first thing I thought about this year was: was it worth it? The countdown was clear rephrasing my way of thinking about life: *There is always a solution *Trust is a limited edition *Don’t always share how you feel *Keep your opinion to yourself *Let people be *No pain lasts forever *Happiness is overrated but easily achieved with concise achievements *Try to remain positive *Try to eliminate the negativity in your life including negative people with negative vibes *Give yourself a chance *Give others the chance they deserve *Never stop dreaming *You deserve justice, happiness, and success *Age is just a number and it’s tough turning 40… Oh, the 40s! *NO FEAR & Last #MOI I will not reminisce on the past, I will cheer for A new day, a new year, and a new chapter & pledge the following: Embrace life Accept Fate Keep faith Live the journey & make your own destiny Every new day is a new beginning, but a day like this is a blessing!
It’s tough turning 40! Happy Birthday Badiaa, what a life!” #MOI The proud of the woman and author I made of myself!
