A happy millennial.

[Anas @AnasBBaker]

You once wanted the life you have right now, so if you don't like the life you have, you probably won't like the one you want but don't have.

[Anas @AnasBBaker]

Anything you lose by being real is fake.

[Anas @AnasBBaker]

Most people's opinions are copied from their favorite influencers, who in turn copy the opinions from their favorite mass media. As such, politics is largely a battle between two armies of puppets being ventriloquised by a handful of actual thinkers.

[Anas @AnasBBaker]

You've already achieved goals you said would make you happy.

[Anas @AnasBBaker]

Besides death, all failure is psychological, and once you die psychology doesn't matter, so is failure even real?

It really just means reality did not meet your desire, so you can either change reality or change desire.

[Anas @AnasBBaker]

Figure out what you want, ignore the opinions of others, and do so much volume it would be unreasonable that you'd be unsuccessful.

[Anas @AnasBBaker]

Reality always bends to those who refuse to accept it and have the tenacity to figure it out.

[Anas @AnasBBaker]

By far the worst week of my life

اللهم ارحم شهداء غزة الأبرار واجعلهم في عليين، وتقبّلهم عندك مع النبيين والصديقين. اللهم عليك بالخونة والظالمين ومن خذلوا أهلنا، أرنا فيهم عجائب قدرتك وبدائع نِقمتك، وعظيم غضبك وشديد سَخَطك

[Anas @AnasBBaker]

Fear exists in the vague, not in the specific.

[Anas @AnasBBaker]

Don’t suffer imagined troubles. We spend so much time worried about how bad things are going to be, that we actually torture ourselves more than the thing we’re worried about ever could.

[Anas @AnasBBaker]

I'd rather be optimistic and wrong than pessimistic and right.

[Anas @AnasBBaker]

يا رب، في هذه الساعة المباركة من هذا اليوم المبارك، نسألك باسمك الأعظم أن ترحم وتلطف بأهلنا في غزة. كن لهم عونًا ونصيرًا، واحرسهم بعينك التي لا تنام. اللهم انصرهم على من عاداهم، وثبّت أقدامهم، وقوِّ عزائمهم. اللهم آمين.

[Anas @AnasBBaker]

هي الأيامُ والغِيَرُ
وأمرُ الله يُنتَظَرُ

أتيأسُ أن ترى فرجًا
فأين اللهُ والقدرُ؟

[Anas @AnasBBaker]

"إِنَّ الكَرِيمَ إِذَا نَادَيْتَ قَالَ : نَعَمْ
فَكَيْفَ بِاللهِ ذِي الإِنْعَامِ وَالكَرَمِ؟
فَابْسُطْ لَهُ الكَفَّ لَنْ تَأْتِيكَ فَارِغَةً
فَقَدْ سَأَلْتَ الذِي سَوَّاكَ مِنْ عَدَمِ"

[Anas @AnasBBaker]

اللهم انصر أهل غزة وثبت أقدامهم، واشرح صدورهم، وأزل همهم، وفرج كربهم. اللهم أيّدهم بمدد من عندك، واجعل النصر حليفهم. اللهم أنزل باليهود ومن عاونهم بأسك الذي لا يرد عن القوم المجرمين. اللهم آمين.

[Anas @AnasBBaker]

نسألك يا الله في هذه الساعة المباركة من يوم الجمعة أن تفرج كرب أهلنا في غزة. اللهم كن لهم عونًا ونصيرًا، واحفظهم بحفظك، واشملهم بلطفك وكرمك.

It's a simple fact of life: if you want to do something incredible, something that makes you stand out above the rest, then you have to become comfortable being different—that means being misunderstood, criticized, even hated.

[Anas @AnasBBaker]

to know that you are the best at something beyond doubt, not because of what you say or the affirmations you shout, but because your actions are irrefutable evidence you are who you say you are.

[Anas @AnasBBaker]

You need to be the best at something, it's not enough to be “Average” as what determines average is the surrounding environment, and the bar has never been so low.

[Anas @AnasBBaker]

I used to be outstanding at football. I was more often than not the best player on the pitch, and that feeling was second to none.
