Engaging and thought provoking
When I first decided to read, "I decided," I was unsure what to expect. The story takes the reader through the difficulties and hardships faced by the author while battling a severe illness.
There were times where I felt so much pain and sadness seeing the author's transformation from a young person brimming with energy and hope to an adult stricken down by something that hurt her through no fault of her own.
The story kept me engaged in a unique way. Different avatars guided me through the various stages of life that our protagonist passed through.
However, despite the sadness I felt a renewed sense of hope, watching the resilient journey of one who had overcome and continued to overcome numerous obstacles. All for the sake of grasping once again the life she wanted. Wahiba C. Rekkab serves as an example that light can and will fight through darkness as long as it believes in its indomitable fighting spirit.
I also enjoyed the inspiring quotes outlined in the book. It was also interesting to hear about the author from the viewpoint of others who had crossed paths with her.
Overall, my rating is a solid 5 and I hope this book reaches the hearts of those who need it the most in a time where the darkness of despair tends to create more havoc than any illness. I hope reading this book reminds those who had forgotten it of the importance of believing in your own strength.

I Decided: How Being Aware of My Thoughts and Emotions Transformed My Life by Wahiba C. Rekkab is a timely addition to any library shelf. Its part memoir, part self-help handbook is its greatest appeal as is its focus on affirmations that are bound to help change where one focuses one’s attention at any given moment.
It’s inspiring and motivational in more ways than you’ll ever know unless you read the lessons this Author lived through to arrive at the place she arrived.
Immediately I felt this individual was all heart for wanting to reach those battling self-doubt and challenges.
In her gentle voice, Author Rekkab recounts her ordeal with an incurable disease which gave rise to various versions of herself. Through her intimate account, the Author invites us into her world, and shares the tools she used—one we all come equipped with but often overlook—to fill her life with hope and spiritual faith and winning a hard battle.
I liked how we come to know this Author through her various acquaintances: her yoga instructor who wrote the Foreword and the many positive reviewers who, besides loving the book also touched on the Author as an individual with a generous heart. And I adored the motivational quotes throughout:
“What if pain and obscurity serve as powerful motivators to push us higher and allow light to shine through us?”
“…hold on to something more significant, more prominent than our fears, and more potent than our doubts.”
I was deeply touched by the second and third parts, titled “Plumbing the Depths of Truth” and “A Daily Handbook for A Positive Life” sections, nodding gladly at how the advice is relevant and actionable in any present moment if we change our mindsets.
Also, the part titled “Wahiba-The Evolution.” Here, the Author explains that her journey to healing is not specific to “healing multiple sclerosis” but is a framework for profound self-awareness along with deep inner healing. I cried in this section. But by the end of the book, I too, was mesmerized once again by the power of the human mind.
In the book, the Author writes that this book “will particularly appeal to migrants and those feeling out of place in their environment.” A keen observation. But aren’t we all a little bit migrants and a little bit out of place? I think this book is for everyone.
climb out of that kind of depressive spiral; look for the light within,
walk the path of healing, find fulfillment and happiness,
trust in the process,
love is a great healer,
I can’t help but agree. I highly recommend this book.

I am looking forward to read this amazing book soon. I know the author Wahiba Rek from social media. She has a beautiful heart. She always gives people hope, love and insight. Above all, she is a perfect person, a devoted mother and a talented writer. I am really curious about this book, which starts with a dream like yakaza and shares her secret inner journey and the information she gained during this journey. I hope the Kindle version can be ordered in my country as well.
