Reaching goals and achieving dreams don't come because you are lucky or laid back or by lying - they come because you work harder and better because the road to success is constant and it's tougher #preach #quotes #motivation #work #ethics #dreams #hardwork

It takes someone really brace to be a mother, someone really strong to raise a child and someone really exceptional to love someone other than herself ! To the super moms out there starting with my MAMA, it's Mother's Day all day err day #motherhood #motherofdragons #mom #mothersday #celebrate

So many people just look for instant gratification without having accomplished anything. Words mean nothing if not accompanied by actions #preach

It seemed like the cloud felt like hugging today so the sun didn't shine as bright but that didn't stop from the happiness we shared inside plus I got a floating cloud of my own to spread some positive vibes. I got asked what makes me happy and I returned the favor by asking the same question. 10 things that make me a happy person: 1. My life - I was given life and I can breathe and I am healthy. Can't ask for more so thank you to the AlMighty 2. Family - blood ones, friend ones, work ones 3. My leadership - not because they are leaders but they are humans who look at achieving daily but still manage to make it seem effortless 4. People who have goals and achieve them - I've been taught to set targets and beat them! I love and live it 5. Children - starting with my own! They teach me something new every day from kindness to patience to being funny and curious ! Why can't adults be the same ??? 6. Food ! Yup ... that's it ! 7. Appreciation - a smile, a pat on the back, a letter - this is the least one can do to make someone else feel special and even happy or happier 8. Helping others - don't just calculate how many favors you've done for others but that they can pay it forward as well and help others 9. The UNKNOWN ! I don't want to know everything - I want to discover and learn and grow - it keeps me on my toes 10. My own self motivation None is in any order but it pretty much sums up things What makes YOU happy 📸 by Saleh #happiness #positivevibes #positivity #family #love #motherofdragons #dubai #cloud9 #goals #miraculousmonday

A good thought to start off with and to end the day with. How do you support women in your lives? And as women, how are you becoming or helping others become game changers? #internationalwomensday #gamechangers #emiratesliteraturefestival #moderator #authors #books #women #womenempowerment #genderbalance #moderator

We stand proud ... one of the most beautiful and well thought of building from the architecture to the building to the content and even the people. At only 25 aed per person the value you get out of Etihad Museum is worth at least 100 times more. I discovered and rediscovered and cried and connected with my country, the legacy we continue to carry. #dubai #uae #culture #heritage #etihadmuseum #union #spirit #knowledge #museum #leader (at Etihad Museum)

No we aren't listening to music - this was our exploration of the many visual elements in Etihad Museum. This beautiful structure placed at a strategic location offers so much history, knowledge and ambience. I encourage you all to discover this gem of the UAE location on Jumeirah road meeting 2nd of December Street #culture #museum #etihadmuseum #national #pride #uae #dubai #knowledge

I heard about our Emirati hero - the fireman who saved someone from the Address Downtown fire last year. Everyone spoke of him. A national hero. I didn't know his name and those close to him call him حسن الطويل which means "the tall Hassan" but his full name is Hassan Al Balooshi We shared the stage speaking to a group of young girls and some of whom I personally mentor. Hassan is a father, he trains daily, he studies, he works, and he inspires. This was the lady session with e7 where the young and inspiring ladies presented their year long projects and discussed their challenges and successes Super proud to be associated with people who inspire, lead and aspire #mydubai #leader #lead #leadership #e7 #banatalemarat #poag #inspire #firefighter #uae #alquoz #success #woman (at Al Serkal Avenue, Al Quoz)

To start off the year I thought what can I put as a post and I'm pretty sure that it's sort of awesome to get a ⭐️ named after me ! I love personalized gifts ... it means the other person took the time to create something for you. Even if it's just your name which is your identity. May your year be full of recognition even if it's through a smile, a thank you, a note, an invitation to a place, anything really Thank you @levelshoes !!! I'm feeling pretty "bright" about 2017 already #personalized #star #levelshoe #orionconstellation
