Lessons I learnt from Life

I am only 17 years and 5 months old. I will be 18 this August. I know that i am not that old and still have a lot to learn in the grand scheme of things, but I have learned a lot of important lessons in my 17 years of life. Lately I've been reflecting on some of these life lessons and thought I should write them on my blog.

Never say Never

Yeah i guess you heard this sentence. Its Justin B' quote and i love this quote. Never say never. When you always say that you will never achieve. Yes ! you wont achieve because you are giving your self negative massages. So never say never.

Don't let comparison steal your joy.

You can't think of life as a giant competition. It is not healthy or productive. I have wasted far too much time trying to compete with others. Then I realized that it's way better to just focus on being the best Maisoun Al Mansouri that I can be. I'll never be exactly that anyone else. There will always be people who are better than me at something. It doesn't matter! I've learned to focus on the good things about myself and to only compare myself to me.

If you want to be successful and happy.

You have to have goals, dreams and direction in your life.If you don't have goals and don't have something you are working toward, there is really no way you can progress. There is power that comes from setting goals and there is happiness that comes from seeing yourself accomplish your goals and chase your dreams. If you don't have dreams, what do you have to live for? Create a wishlist and start crossing things out !

We will all have our own " happily ever after "

Every girl is a princess and every girl deserves to feel like it ! Not everyone's life is picture perfect all the time. And nobody's life is a fairytale 24/7. But, I know that Allah has a perfectly mapped out plan for everyone on this Earth. He knows what is best for us and knows what'll make you happy. Just be patient, have faith and wait for your own happily ever after.
