At the close of life the question will be not how much have you got, but how much have you given; nor how much have you won, but how much have you done; not how much have you saved, but how much have you sacrificed; how much have you loved and served, not how much were you honored.

When I saw this quote, other than assuming that this guy was American due to the horrendous spelling variation at the end, I concluded that we, as a society, are incredibly pessimistic.

I mean, you see on television those characters that are always thinking positively, but then in reality, where are those Joey Tribbianis, Spongebob Squarepants and Phil Dunphys?

I started paying attention to people and myself this week. I realised that about 85% of our talk is negative.

“Oh I totally failed that!”, “Oh gosh I look so eww”, “I’m so tired, urgh I hate school,” and “I won’t make it to anything big,”.

Seriously guys, me and you, WHAT??? If I’m gonna rant about this issue, I would be totally defeating the purpose of spreading positivity, so instead, I shall contort this post.

You look great. You will achieve what you want one day. School is only for a few years, and it’s the key to what you want later. You didn’t fail. You only need to stop the self-doubt and start the self-love. Doing this doesn’t make you selfish or conceited, it makes you admirable and you are gonna feel awesome. We all have those days where we just feel so insecure about every aspect of ourselves, and that’s ok. Just don’t let that be you always.

I won’t be uploading a letter today, but will hopefully do so sometime during the following week.

Tuning out, it’s your girl Zahraa
