#QOTD #42

My mission in life is not merely to survive but to thrive; and to do so with some passion๐ŸŒˆ โค๏ธ, some compassion ๐Ÿค—, some humour ๐Ÿ˜ƒand some style ๐Ÿ˜Ž๐Ÿ’„

~ you got it, Maya Angelou 

This week has been an extremely trying week. Work has been beyond overwhelming, it’s the last few days of Ramadan and my spirits have just been sweeping the floor! 

Whenever I get like this, I pray and then I turn to some of my favorite authors or poets and peruse through their work. This always creates an escape for me, because I get so drawn into their work. 

I came across this beautiful quote and I had to share, because as soon as I read it, my heart smiled! 

THE Maya Angelou! What a creative, talented legend was she. 

This quote reminded me that I shouldn’t just make it through the day, that I shouldn’t let work, or anything else, take “me” out of me, if that makes any sense lol! It reminds me that even when you feel like giving up, you should carry on, for after every rainy, gloomy day, there’s a ๐ŸŒˆthat awaits! 

Isn’t this how we should approach life? Let’s think about it:


With some passion, towards the things that warm our hearts. 


Compassion, towards all the wrongs and evils and struggles in this world. Supporting and elevating each other.


Humour, because we know laughter is the best medicine contrary to what professionals may think 


and then style, because that defines us, it’s ours and besides, some fresh swag, kicks and make up can turn any bodies day around! 

Genius I tell you! Maya Angelou was pure genius!
