@xyzwtf_55 @PardueSuzanne Until our strength is tested~ Our mettle measured~ We have no idea how strong we are… But gently stand assured🙏 We are always stronger than THEY think we are I know from first-hand experience~ Strength comes from self-love… But stronger still~ From loving those we stand for💓

I remember moving back to the city after living in a really remote community. No cafés. No quick trips to the shops. We’d wait a week for the food barge to arrive, and even then the food wasn’t always fresh. Every night, from sunset to sunrise, we had to stay locked inside for safety. That was just normal life back then. When I returned to the city, my friends took me to the supermarket. I honestly couldn’t believe it. Fresh fruit. Fresh meat. Cold milk. Shelves full of food everywhere. So many choices. I stood in the aisle and cried… then started filling the trolley with everything I could grab, like a big kid in a toy shop. The funny thing is, that feeling never really left me. Even now, going to the shops still feels a bit exciting. Sitting down for a coffee still feels special. Walking along the beach after sunset still feels kind of magical. Not because these things are rare, but because I know what it’s like without them. Emotional intelligence is letting yourself feel things deeply… without being ruled by them. It’s not about shutting your feelings off or trying to act “in control” all the time. It’s about keeping that childlike part of you, the curiosity, the excitement, the ability to enjoy simple things… while having enough awareness not to get carried away or take it all for granted. Appreciating what you have, without always chasing more. Being present enough to actually notice it. Sometimes the everyday stuff is the most special. We just forget to see it. #amandaray #RealLifeStories #Emotionalintelligence #LifeLessons

Hoy me he dejado llevar por la luz de una falúa en el Nilo, pintando desde ese silencio que es mi mejor oración. Sin prisas, dejando que el Siena y el azul encuentren su propio camino en el papel de algodón. ⛵🎨 Disponible. Consultas por mensaje directo (DM) 📩

Someone asked me why I’m on X. This quote says it all. I once believed I had everything figured out, yet I was lost. Life taught me differently. Yes, I may challenge people, because social media has created an echo chamber. Some of you will be the next leaders. If sharing these lessons helps even one person pause, reflect, and grow, then my struggles were worth it. And hopefully the next leaders will have the courage to think for themselves and shape a better future. #amandaray #Leadership #FutureLeaders #Perspective

Best of luck to Wunmi Mosaku at the #Oscars , nominated for best supporting actress for #Sinners, I got to paint the tremendously talented actress when I appeared as a contestant on Sky TV portrait artist of the year. The portait is now on show at Vellichor Books in Hanley

@AmandaRay02 @adelahafez @lsmurthy99 @RossSwan2 @mary_gambara Yes, I too challenge people Not everyone wants to move humanity forward Some seize the light to create dark, for: Destruction Disorder Chaos Our job is to know such people & their wily ways… Then use our light to counteract such negativity & over-shine them in pure brilliance

@maitelabio @MPeopleMusic You have it always, all times & all places, when and wherever you may be… It’s only natural, after all💞 “Like two strings, beating speaking in sympathy… What would WE do without YOU?” ~Kate Bush: Love and Anger Simples really… youtu.be/JqDYGoWh_Cs?si… What means the video?

@Earthles @MPeopleMusic Thank you so much for those words, dear Les. It really means a lot to know I have your support and that you value my voice. Having people like you in my corner makes all the difference. 🤍

Si alguna vez me veis opinando de algo que no sea arte o pinceles,recordadme que una vez cerré una cuenta de 17k seguidores por hacerme la valiente en el barro político. 🚩😂 He vuelto a mis reglas de oro: distancia, cortesía y el botón de bloquear bien engrasado. ¡A dibujar! ✍️

@maitelabio @MPeopleMusic Really sorry to learn that Maite🥲 Always know that I’m here for you… to stand up to anyone who tries to bully or bring you down in any way whatsoever Free speech is vital… & everyone with an informed & important opinion such as yours has an inalienable right to express it!👇

@Earthles @MPeopleMusic Dear Les: I didn't give up for a long time and I gave my opinion and my points of view many times until a defamation campaign, a campaign of discrediting and harassment with many people behind it on this network... I think it was the best thing I did, to stop.

@maitelabio Maite dear pal You write so beautifully & elegantly I would do the opposite & encourage you to share your opinion on anything Why? Because you’ve an informed opinion & as such bring value & insight into all aspects of argument & debate So I would always remind you to look for👇

Be mindful of your presence, when you are with people. You presence can be enabling and empowering or intimidating and disempowering. #selfreflection and #feedback are two potent sources to enhance your presence and therefore, your leadership. #leadership

Leadership Excellence!! @hvgoenka

Absolutely!! It is a fascinating and often tragic paradox: the very ego that fuels the ambition to reach the top often becomes the cage that keeps a person there. When "dignity" is tied to being the person who knows rather than the person who learns, growth naturally hits a ceiling.

Breve historia de mi vida en redes: Cuenta de poesía con 17k seguidores: Todo paz y amor (distancia de seguridad nivel experto). 😇 Me dio por hacerme la moderna, entrar en política y bajar la guardia: Campaña de desprestigio y drama gratis. 🤡
