“أعطوا من أنفسكم كما تعطون من أموالكم ، فرُبّ بسمة مع العطاء تنعش السائل أكثر من العطاء ، وكلمة خير لجار تحيي الجار ، وبش في وجه ذي الحاجة والاعتذار عنها خير من قضائها مع الترفع عليه عند السؤال والمنّ عليه بعد النوال |٢٩”
― علي الطنطاوي, مع الناس

“The opposite of recognizing that we’re feeling something is denying our emotions. The opposite of being curious is disengaging. When we deny our stories and disengage from tough emotions, they don’t go away; instead, they own us, they define us. Our job is not to deny the story, but to defy the ending—to rise strong, recognize our story, and rumble with the truth until we get to a place where we think, Yes. This is what happened. This is my truth. And I will choose how this story ends.”
― Brené Brown, Rising Strong: The Reckoning. The Rumble. The Revolution.

“We are defined by what we choose to reject. And if we reject nothing we essentially have no identity at all”
― Mark Manson, The Subtle Art of Not Giving a F*ck: A Counterintuitive Approach to Living a Good Life

“You may not control all the events that happen to you, but you can decide not to be reduced by them. —Maya Angelou”
