What has inspired you lately?

Let me tell you a story. I was on a job interview once when the VP of Products has noticed my cross-functional skill set, mentioning that I have worked with various businesses and on multiple projects. I replied with, “Unfortunately.” Then he asked, “Why do you say so?!” I said, “Because, sometimes, I feel I don’t have a career path. When people ask me about my profession, I find myself perplexed to answer.” Here’s where he highlighted something I never thought about it before. It was an unforgettable moment. He said, “Noha, your profile can help me with any project in hand. You can help me with Research. You can help me with promoting the product. You can help me identify the pain points and build use cases relatable to the audience – besides content.” It was the first time a manager utilizes my skills in a strategic manner. He saw my love for the fundamentals of things. He knew that I can give more than my job title entitles me to do. And most importantly, he made me believe him. He ...

You're Enough

You’re Unprofessional, They said.

Image
Back in the days, someone once told me I’m unprofessional. I took it hard, then, and I thought they were right; that it’s my bad. I should have tried harder, done a better job, went an extra mile to prove them wrong. Although, I already did all that, and more. But later, life happened… I’ve been here and there. I’ve met new people, had more experiences, got my heart broken.. I simply grew up. Ultimately, God proves you wrong. He shows you how you’ve belittled yourself, how you’ve forgotten it’s worth, that people can be wrong about you: you’ve done your all. He sends little packs of blessings; a prayer, a thank you note, a kind gesture from a trusted friend, etc., to push you forward and allow you to embrace life. Trust these signs, and indulge them. Have faith that there’s a bigger world out there; larger than your mind, your prespectives, and beliefs. Know that you always reap what you sow. It’s never too late. Good things will happen to you, only if you believe you deserve them a...

Your Mistakes Don’t Define You

Image
You only grow and prosper, when you decide to take those mistakes & mold them to start living. You have to take what you learnt, apply what you experienced, then act upon it. Self-guilt will only stick you to the ground. Focusing on what’s best for you is hard, but it’s your only option. #SelfReminder #LessonsLearned #WhatLifeTaughtMe

The Perks Of Live And Let Live

Image
I aspire to inspire myself before others every moment of every day to make it count. I don't settle for less than what my heart and mind desires. I won't admit to the perceptions you lay upon me whenever we talk unless you have a reasonable point, in which case I'll agree. I won't allow you to transform me into an another identical version of you. I will.. live as I wish.. do my best to stay kind.. breathe the air God grants me.. choose a path and know its consequences.. expect you to be responsible.. I don't need you to.. dictate me.. control me.. govern me.. suppress me.. discourage me.. I want you to.. support me.. motivate me.. help me get through life.. give me space to evolve.. love and accept me for who I am.. Only then, I'll consider having you in my life. ^_^ #ThePerksOfLiveAndLetLive #SelfReminder ~ Noha Abdel-Tawab

One Day ...

Image
"One day I'll break free from all your chains, fears, and misfortunes. One day I'll watch you burn, as you turn into ashes. I'll fly far away from your memories, coward mistakes, and mistreatments. I'll breed. I'll evolve. I'll live the life you deprived me from living." ~ Noha Abdel-Tawab ‪#‎SelfReminder‬   #‎HabitBreaker‬   #‎SelfMotivation‬

She Lives a Life of Value

"She always aspires to live a life of value. It's brutality hard sometimes, yet highly rewarding in the end. That's not a lesson she takes lightly. It's a lesson she'll never take for granted." ~ Noha Abdel-Tawab

For The Love Of Inspiration

Image
"Some people are born to inspire you to be better, and some knock you down & leave you to the gutter. If you have at least ONE person who genuinely supports you and loves you for who you are no matter what, don't let them go no matter what. They're your true life's treasury in this world. Kindness always rules above all." ❤ ~ Noha Abdel-Tawab

Why Is My Life So Bad?

Image
Do you ever wonder about that? Has this question haunted you for as long as you lived? Does it usually occur to you that your lifestyle is crappier than anyone you know? If yes, then what did you really do about it?! Did you ever consider figuring out what's going on? I understand how cranky you must feel, and I know it's not anyone's duty to understand the way you do, nor try to picture it for you. But, why don't you give it a try?! I'm sure there is someone somewhere who cares to help. How about we make a deal?! Let's review this together. I'll invite you to live my life for a day, and I'll try yours. What will you do if I asked to experience the timeline you've been living for years? How would  you feel about that? Give it a thought, how will we live our different routines if we decided to swap lives? How will the day turn out to be for us? I bet we'll see it differently, maybe act upon it with a whole other dimension that we never t...
