Salma Farook
“Pretend that you believe, even to yourself. Do everything as if you are fearless. Repeat it to yourself so much, that if faith doesn’t come naturally, it comes as a practiced habit.”
Dr Salma Farook, What Your Soul Already Knows

“Practice makes comfort. Expand your experiences regularly
so every stretch won’t feel like your first.”
