They Taught Me

This contemplative book explores 100 poignant life experiences that taught me to meet each day with compassion, kindness, and inner peace. Within every vignette lies a hidden pocket of illuminating insight, available to those with the awareness to seek it out. For we are not all conscious by default; often, we need guideposts to direct us down the path that leads to wisdom. Books can serve as such guideposts. I wrote this book hoping it may serve as a small lamp in the darkness, shedding light on the luminous lessons tucked into every corner of lived experience – both the good and the bad. Contradictions are intrinsic to this journey called life. It is precisely in their juxtaposition that the beauty of existence lies. My stories are fragments of my personal truth, shared in the hopes that the kernels of insight buried within these pages may speak to yours. If just one tale kindles a spark of understanding or shifts your perspective even slightly… that is enough.

Sarah Al-Balushi is a self-made person. She evaluated her previous life, both personal and professional, and then made specific plans, financially, temporally, and scientifically. They also included all other aspects of life, and they included goals that she assiduously implemented in accordance with her priorities. She began to accomplish one goal after another until she reached the point of implementing the most important and prominent ones.

Because she has an ambitious and eager soul, what she achieved was not enough for her. She yearned for leadership, excellence, and continuing to achieve more. She developed a clear methodology for her life, through which she overcame many difficulties, inspiring creativity in delivering speech, and being influential, whether with her positive words or her luminous ink which sheds its light, illuminating the dark corners of many of those around her.

She starred in many scenes, training situations, and self-development and human development workshops, and she always had a dream for sustainability to be a path for her word and its positive impact on a more comprehensive and broader segment of life, so the path for that was to write a book that carries within letters that carry the characteristics of positivity, love of life, and absent values from the awareness of many of us in light of our fast-paced lives.
