Book Title: "What I Know For Sure" by Oprah Winfrey
Favourite quote: “I know for sure: your journey begins with a choice to get up, step out, and live fully.”💕✨🪷. This quote symbolized a fresh start, a chance to get up and try again. If you want something, fail at something or want to change something; all you have to do is get up and step out! It is never too late.
Have you ever felt refreshed whilst reading a book? This book did that for me! It gave me a fresh perspective on the way I not only look at life, but the way in which I look at myself too.
Understanding that I need to give myself more grace and patience, I was able to see the places where my patience was growing thin with myself. If I cannot give myself grace, if I am not patient with myself, if I do not love me – then how can I expect the people around me to give me grace, patience and love? I found myself reflecting on “the self” in the most positive light.
A wonderful way to do a self introspection in the most comforting and loving way!
I also admired the stories Oprah shared, stories of her best friend Gayle King. It reminded me of my own friendships. There is sometimes a bad rep when it comes to female friendships, this book teaches us that sisterhood is essential for us, that female friendships can stand the trial of time and become stronger as time goes on.
A truly amazing read!
