Items of Note:
* The biggest obstacle to learning something new is the belief that you already know it.
* Failure is not the opposite of success; it's a stepping stone on the path to it. The real failure is the failure to try.
* The biggest risk is not taking any risk. In a world that is changing really quickly, the only strategy that is guaranteed to fail is not taking risks.

Hey hey my favorites 😀💚 #annieethebookiee is back with another review, and today, I’m diving into the powerful self-help book Forget That! Let me tell you, this book is a game-changer. If you’ve ever felt weighed down by self-doubt, past mistakes, or the opinions of others, this book will help you flip the script and take back control of your life.
The author’s approach is refreshingly honest and straight to the point, with no fluff—just actionable advice and real talk. I loved how the book tackled tough topics with humor and raw vulnerability, making it feel like a heart-to-heart conversation with a trusted friend.
One of my favorite takeaways was the emphasis on letting go of things that no longer serve you—whether it’s toxic relationships, limiting beliefs, or unrealistic expectations. The exercises and strategies were simple but effective, and I found myself pausing to reflect on my own life multiple times while reading.
If you’re ready to stop apologizing for being yourself and start living unapologetically, Forget That is the guide you didn’t know you needed. This book will inspire you, challenge you, and leave you feeling empowered to say, “Forget that!” to anything holding you back.
Until next time, my loves, keep growing and glowing! 💚
