A Dream:)
“From now on we live in a world where man has walked on the moon. It is not a miracle, we just decided to go” ~ Jim Lovell
Dreams have an awesome power; they help you envision your bright future and see it through your heart’s eyes. They were born inside your soul to turn your life into a masterpiece of bliss and satisfaction.
I believe that dreams would never exist if you do not have the innate capability to achieve them. Most of the things in life that we dream about are actually attainable. Look up at the sky and see the moon so far away, it seems impossible and unachievable, but remember there are footprints on it because mankind made it possible and it all started with one single dream.
I have read once “nothing is impossible, the word itself says I’m possible” so, try to think big and be big even if this seems impossible. You do not want to live a boring life, because if you do so, you will not have the chance to leave your unique mark in this world, and no one will remember you.
Write down your dreams to crystallize your goals and prioritize the decisive actions that you need to take for your dreams to come to fruition.
Patience is the key. A great dream usually takes a long period of time to mature and then blossom. Do not give up, never. Even when your dreams appear to be shattered, your enthusiasm at very low ebb and nothing seems to be happening. Remain hopeful to get through the mundane aspects of daily life. Take small steps and you will be surprised how one step can easily lead you to another. After all, Rome was not built in a day.
This moment right here, while you are reading this post, is all you have. You have yourself today, which is all you ever need. Do what you love and live your life on your own term, steer your life towards the right direction to achieve your dreams. No one ever will help you pursuing them unless you do.
Believe in the impossible today. It may not be impossible after all. You just need to wake up every morning with motivations and enthusiasm, and do not forget to get rid of small negative people who try to belittle your ambitious dreams.
It’s about YOU
“Be yourself; everyone is already taken” ~ Oscar Wilde
Our experiences in life clearly shape us into the people we are today, however; this does not mean that we necessarily know who we are and what we want from life.
Since we were little, we have developed beliefs and values, some good and some not so good, as a result of our society and the pressure from family and friends to comply. We were not given the opportunity to choose what to believe in or even to build our personality without other people’s interference. We were forced to fit into the society’s mould, and you can imagine what would happen if we did not.
My story to understand myself begins in childhood and continues into the present. I was not the perfect kid, but I knew that I had what it takes to be one. I found myself immersed in reading and not really part of the family life. Fortunately, this has helped me become a self-aware and instinctively began to see aspects of my personality and behavior that I didn’t notice before.
I realized that I have to learn from my past not to run from it, to let go of the things that bring me down not to embrace them, and to release my regrets and failures not to hold them.
Just like snowflakes, we are different in our own unique beautiful way. Modelling yourself after someone is a real disaster unless that will motivate you to do better. Being your self is what makes you special and no one on this earth is going to be like you.
Do not waste your invaluable time being afraid of who you are because at the end of the day all it matters is what your heart says not other vapid opinions of jealous little people.
You do not have to do anything to please other people by being what you think they want you to be. More importantly, you do not have to do anything to feel that you are worthy.
Turn your back to friends and family member who bend your ear about nonsense, make you feel terribly about your self, and contribute nothing to your life.
Finally, it’s okay to not be okay,life is not meant to be a joyful ride. It meant to be lived with a sense of contentment. You just need to feel fine and secure with what you have, what you are, and where you are going at this moment.
P.S. Go ahead. Be curious, eccentric, and wild because NORMAL is boring.
First Thought
Okay, I have to admit that writing my first post was really scary. Just thinking about it sent a wave of nervousness through my body. Then the inevitable “How the hell am I going to do it !!” thought raced through my mind. At the same time, I was pushing my self too hard to finish writing it as I was thrilled to see how readers would interact with what I am going to write.
I personally believe that every woman is a story to tell, and I am here to share my story. With some help, I have come to realize that my perspective about life is eccentric if not whimsical. But before we go further in this, let me warn you that even thought I am coming from outward conservative culture, I am not the typical Saudi girl that you may think I am. I am not that girl who is sitting behind doors and not very much part of the public life. Because of that, I decided to start my own blog and share not just my story but also my reflections on a wide range of topics. It is also going to be pretty much a lifestyle destination that delivers inspiration to live in a stylish and creative life. However, My blog might be confusing to some of you and sometimes you may feel that it is like a puzzle needs to be solved, but keep in mind throughout my posts that we actually live in a very confusing world so, bear with me. And yes, I jump around with tangents and this is the way my brain works. If you want a less confusing story, come back to me in ten years from now when I sort it all out.
When I was a little girl, I was inspired by Majid and Basim magazine and I desperately wanted to become a writer. More precisely, I wanted to be a novelist to write a long story where I can have my imaginary people and create my own plot line.
I love writing, I write to not lose my inner voice, to sharpen my confidence while honoring vulnerability and nourishing glimmers of personal insight. I write not to escape life, but for life not to escape me.
I am sure you will enjoy a really fun ride.
Welcome to my WORLD :)
