All things are guided by reason.
When difficulty knocks on our door – let us make sure we are prepared to answer; dressed, in the right headspace, and ready to go.

You do not have to live with a decision forever. If you make a mistake, you can correct it later.

Master Your Emotions By Thibaut Meurisse
Loneliness is not cured by human company. Loneliness is cured by contact with reality, by understanding that we don’t need people.

We all have different stories and what triggers you might not trigger someone else. What people think of you is none of your business.
The Rudest Book Ever By Shwetabh Gangwar

Rumi’s Little Book Of Life By Rumi
Do not grieve over past joys, be sure they will reappear in another form.
Unlearn everything and embrace the madness.
Surrender if you are a seeker of union, find your place in the heart of nothingness.
Mind Platter By Najwa Zebian
Don’t seek refuge in people. When you seek refuge in and forgiveness from a power much greater than yourself, you will not be turned away.
If you don’t stop judging yourself, putting yourself down, and believing that this is as good as you can be, then you have closed doors for yourself before they even appear in front of you.
Have the wise instinct of knowing how you would react in certain situations before they happen so that you can be well prepared to act wisely.
Conclusion
Thousands of books are published every day and it is an art to decide which book to completely invest yourself in and which to put away after a quick read. Either way, each book has its own charm. It teaches you important life lessons, it teaches you how the world works, how to deal with people, with finances, with grief, and everything under the sky. The beauty of having a book in your hand is that you are holding a treasure that is a result of somebody else’s experiences and research.
