Rachel Hollis does it again. Honestly this book hit me harder than any of my other books. Reading this book made me go out and buy a new journal to write my goals, reflect on my day, and so much more. I aspire to be even as half as strong as Rachel…

I really love her story and the feeling I had at the end of this book. I feel like books like this one are always necessary to read, especially at the moment of my life that I‘m in.

Finished this on the way to Lancaster today. Some parts were good, I just had to work through her way of writing. If she talks the way she writes in real life, I think I‘d be very much overwhelmed 😅

My rating: ⭐️⭐️ 1/2

TheQuietQuill @JamieArc I‘ve never heard of that one before, I‘m going to certainly check it out though! Thanks for the recommendation! 😁 2y

“When you know better, you do better.”

quote
zahra7

At some point you grow up enough to understand that many people here on earth are different from you; and what you do with that knowledge defines much of your story.

Just as you‘ve chosen to stay in this place for so long, you can also choose to get yourself out of it.

Divorce is destruction that starts at the top and breaks everything apart on the way down.

The longer you live in a state of honesty, the easier it becomes to simply exist there all the time.

quote
zahra7

I blindly stumbled my way down a path I could not see. I chose to move forward because, while I knew I would find pain, I also knew I would draw strength.

“Yes, it‘s hard! But our dream didn‘t go away because it got hard,

it's possible to find purpose—even in the absence of explanation.

quote
zahra7

You cannot ignore your pain. You cannot ever leave it behind completely. The only thing you can do is find a way to embrace the good that came out of it—even if it takes you years to discover what that is.

quote
zahra7

I am still here because I refuse to let anything or anyone decide what I get to have. I am still here because I refuse to let my trauma have the last word. I am still here because I will not let a nightmare have more power than my dreams. I am still here because I didn‘t allow the hard time to make me weak; I willed it to make me strong.

Every single aspect of our persona, no matter how long we‘ve rocked it, is a choice we make every day.

quote
zahra7

Do you stop yourself from daring to try something new because you‘re already positive you‘ll fail? Do you remain silent when you have so much to say? Do you believe you‘ll never do better or be better than you are right now because of your family of origin? Do you hesitate to admit your dreams aloud because you‘re nervous about others making fun of you or judging you for your choices?

quote
zahra7

I have so many goals and dreams for myself, and not one of them is small. They‘re big and wild and full of hope. They require faith and courage and a whole lot of audacity.
