Ivanka Trump penned emotional reflections and shared them with her 8.7 million Instagram followers Thursday in celebration of her 44th birthday. The lengthy Instagram post was a deep, honest assessment that included life lessons and inspirational messages.

“Each birthday (and today is my 44th!) invites reflection—on what I’ve learned, what I hold dear, and how I want to walk forward with greater clarity, courage, and grace,” Trump wrote.

She listed 15 important points, beginning with:
**1. Family remains the heartbeat of my life. Everything expands outward from there.**

Her list continued:
**2. Peace is born not of forgetting, but of transforming pain into wisdom.** As the poet Rumi wrote, *“The wound is the place where the Light enters you.”* True healing asks for patience—the strength to sit with what shattered before building what’s next. In that stillness, empathy becomes architecture.

**3. Kindness is the simplest form of greatness.** In a world that rewards noise and self-interest, being kind is an act of quiet rebellion. To be kind is not naïve; it is powerful, brave, and radical.

Adding a poignant point of reference, Trump wrote:
**4. Belief comes before ability. You must believe in yourself first.** As Virgil said: *“They can because they think they can.”*

One of her other quotes was from Viktor Frankl, who said, *“Between stimulus and response there is a space. In that space is our power to choose our response. In our response lies our growth and our freedom.”*

“Success is not scale; it’s alignment. Build things that feel true,” Trump wrote, also emphasizing, “The most important voice to consult is the quiet one within.”

Trump concluded her birthday sentiments by saying,
“Live in a way that makes both the child you once were and the person you are becoming proud.”
