The Princess Diaries: Finding inner peace - Princess Michelle Ann Haugo is examining a lot of things about her life whilst she is in Dubai

By Princess Michelle Ann Haugo

I feel so close to God when I am over here in this part of the world. The sound of the call to prayer, brings peace and comfort to my soul. There are so many religions, and the commonality is, that it is our intentions that count and it’s important that they come from a place of love.

I’ve learnt to embrace life, accept others for who they truly are and, most importantly, never judge others. Life isn’t perfect. We are not perfect. We must remember to forgive others, and, also, to forgive ourselves.

The more you have the, more you have to lose. The more you hope for, the more you can be disappointed. The more you love someone, the greater the fear you have of losing them is.

And, the more you trust and confide in someone, the more they can betray you in a greater way… but one should never stop loving, stop trusting, and always, always, should be ready to forgive.
