I heard someone say, satan got adam and eve to fix their eyes on one tree when god had already given them an entire garden, think about that. The enemy didn't have to convince them that they had nothing. He just had to make them forget everything that they already had. And he still, till this day, uses the same strategy. He gets us to focus on relationships we don't have, the job that we don't have, the opportunity we don't have, the healing we haven't seen yet. Meanwhile, we are blind to the countless prayers god has already answered. Gratitude isn't pretending you don't want more, it's refusing to let what you don't have make you forget the goodness of god that's already surrounding you.
Everyone knows the trillion-dollar version of SpaceX. Almost nobody remembers that Elon's first rocket failed three times, and there was money for exactly only one more attempt.
DO NOT be afraid to fail.
Four months later, the Epstein Files still have vanished from the conversation, as if one of the biggest scandals in American and Israeli politics never happened.
Regarding the UAE delegation’s visit to Lebanon, FFA Private Bank Dubai Limited is, alongside BLOM, one of only two Lebanese banks with an established presence in the UAE. Meanwhile, I&C Bank SAL (formerly FFA Private Bank SAL) is one of the very few active Lebanese banks that is solvent and should require no restructuring—the few others likely to avoid it are essentially inactive. One might reasonably think this would be of some interest to Emirati investors looking at Lebanon.
Yet, once again, the same self-appointed “representatives of the private sector” are rolled out—many of them wheeler-dealers whose businesses depend heavily on state contracts—to pontificate, shake hands and pose for the cameras.
Meanwhile, those of us actually doing business in the UAE are not even informed of the delegation’s visit.
Same faces, same networks, same old bankrupt Lebanon.
@herabruce And the thing is when you point out what's wrong within the country and criticise the way things are they tell u to stay abroad if ure not happy with Leb 😭😭
“We reached the final, but you couldn’t be there. I wanted to win it for you and bring you the trophy. I couldn’t. My legs had nothing left to give, and I never felt physically right.”
في بلد يعاني أصلًا من ضعف مؤسسات ال��ولة، ومن محدودية قدرات الجيش والقوى الأمنية على فرض الأمن في كل المناطق، أن تفتحوا الباب أمام إطلاق أشخاص قد يكون بعضهم متورطًا في جرائم خطيرة أو أعمال إرهابية هو قرار بالغ الخطورة.
لم تفعلوا شيئًا سوى العفو عن المجرمين وتمكينهم من الإفلات من العدالة. وهذا تمامًا ما فعلتموه مع منظومة الفساد والسياسيين الذين خنقوا بلدنا منذ نهاية الحرب الأهلية: عفوٌ، إفلاتٌ من العقاب، وغيابٌ للمحاسبة.
والأخطر أنكم تقرّون عفوًا في وقت لا تملك فيه الدولة أصلًا منظومة قضائية وأمنية قادرة على التمييز بدقة بين من يستحق العفو ومن يشكّل خطرًا فعليًا على المجتمع. لا يمكن أن تتعاملوا مع ملفات بهذه الخطورة وكأنها مسألة إدارية بسيطة.
