People – friends and family – will hurt you, they will betray your trust, but you owe it to your mind to forgive them and let go of any negative feelings. You will hurt other people along the way. You must apologize and mean it when you realise it. You must not waive or shrug it off. It is the little things that hurt the most

UGHELLI, Delta, Nigeria – Juliet Ibrahim, the delectable actress who launched her book, #Atoasttolife recently in Lagos is advising all dreamers never to abandoned their dreams irrespective of the circumstances.
The actress who was quoting excerpts from her book said you owe it to yourself to chase and pursue your dreams. “You try, and you try again and again, until you get what you want”, she has said.
She said that it took her a very long time to understand that she has to love and find contentment in herself, her family, her beautiful baby and the work she does.
“It took me a really long time to understand this; that I had to love and find contentment in myself, my family, my beautiful baby and the work I do.
“There is a lot I look forward to in my life, my career and business. There are bigger hurdles to scale through and I am prepared and looking forward to all of it. But mostly, I am grateful for how far I have come, from the little girl who survived three civil wars, to being the Juliet Ibrahim”, she said.
In addition, she warned those venturing into marriage, “Do not ignore your intuition”, she said, stressing that part of the lesson she learnt is that the decision to love someone is a personal choice, but that “if your family or the people close to you have that gut feeling about your partner and you are too in love to see it? Pause. They are rarely ever wrong”, she said.
She revealed that it was when she dismantled the walls around her “brick by brick and began to breathe more freely, I realised a lot of things. Life is really not so difficult”, she said.
Besides, she said living your life to the best of your ability, means doing everything within your power and means to stay happy and fulfilled.
“People – friends and family – will hurt you, they will betray your trust, but you owe it to your mind to forgive them and let go of any negative feelings. You will hurt other people along the way. You must apologize and mean it when you realise it. You must not waive or shrug it off. It is the little things that hurt the most”, she said.
