Don't become your own biggest critic by saying; 'I can't do this, I can't do that'. Don't limit yourselves - nurture your talents.
We all have talents and we're all blessed so much. Don't allow past negative words/statements and thoughts bring you down. Because everyone else will be living their dreams (and maybe yours) and you'll be left behind. Accept that life is a long learning journey - a quest - and each test makes you better and wiser. Look within yourself and stop hurting your own soul with your own negative thoughts and words. Nurture your talents and the only limits are the ones we place on ourselves. Nothings impossible - say; 'I Am Possible'. Always Remember... 'God does not change a condition of a people until they don't change themselves'. Our Creator - our Allah is on our side and wants us to succeed. Get up and go make your dreams a reality - go create your own ideal world. What's stopping you? Allah is with YOU not against you! :) ...There is so much to be thankful and grateful for - wouldn't you agree?
If you're reading this then you're amongst the blessed as there's many in this world who don't even know what an internet is or what a pc/laptop looks like. Yes as humans we have our moments and we rant on and complain - and I guess every so often it's ok to let the steam out - but really why is it that we forget to give thanks? Think of 10 things that Allah (swt) has blessed you with. For each of the 10 be grateful and give a heartful and soulful shukr to Allah. And say... 'Alhamdulilah ala kulli haal!' It could be worse - but right now, it's all good! :) Sometimes we disrespect ourselves so badly and treat ourselves like our own enemy!
Why? We wouldn't treat our parents or our loved ones like that so why are we so mean to ourselves. We should learn to respect ourselves. How can we expect others to respect us when we don't respect ourselves? "You say that you are just a body, but inside of you is something greater than the Universe." Imam Shafi (rahimullah) Yes, there is something great inside of you! Your body is just a covering that looks after your greatness - your soul! Treat it with love and respect - its who you really are and who you will always be! Your soul has a right to be loved and nourished and it's nourishment is the Qur'an. Love your soul :) ...Every night before you go to bed spend at least 15 to 30 minutes to reflect on your day - what were your aims for the day - did you achieve all your goals - how was your ibaadah level - what is the one new thing you did - have you moved one step closer in fulfilling your dreams.
If we don't account for our day we become lazy and complacent - we lose focus, and we become less determined - our passion levels drop and we start to lose respect for ourselves because we are not focusing and feel guilty - again it all goes back to our values and what we value and how much we value it and what will we do to achieve it. Make it a habit - every night - 15 to 30 minutes and during this time you can also prep for the day/week ahead - get your to-do list sorted and get your sub-conscious mind working on what you will do the following day when it comes. We need to account our selves and prepare ourselves for the big day when we will get judged and all our limbs will bear witness - what did we do with them and did we use them for the sake of Allah or did we abuse them. Reflect each night and let's fix up before we get fixed up! Ever found yourself wanting to do something so bad but you have a billion negative thoughts in your mind and so you don't do it?
Stop the negative thoughts - they are exactly just that - thoughts and YOU have the power within you to stop the negative thoughts. The mind is a muscle and needs daily exercise - so exercise it with positive thoughts, positive energy and positive people. The more you spend your time thinking; 'Should I or should I not' then the longer those negative thoughts will linger - they will become your beliefs - so stop them now and right this moment - this exact moment - go do that one thing which will help you make your dreams manifest - help your dreams become reality insha'Allah. Right now - Just Do It! Just do that one thing and watch how you create a chain reaction in your system, your mind and watch that positive energy flow. You won't stop here - but you will continue. You owe it to yourself - go make your dreams a reality - dream with your eyes open and right now; 'Just Do It!'. ...I always say; 'Respect is not given it is earned'.
We have to earn respect in life. We all want to be respected but how much respect do we give to others? No, really, how much? *Reflection Moment* Reflect on all your relations - friendships - family - etc and be honest with yourself - how much respect do you give them that you demand so much in return? We should treat others how we want to be treated ourselves. But sometimes we become selfish and we become; 'I want, I want'. Don't worry - you will get! You will get your fair share in life. But become selfless and respect others. Respect your values and be determined to succeed at your goals - put all your passion into it and give 150% of your focus on that goal - do a little everyday towards that goal - your dream - and insha'Allah you will succeed at it. Respect yourself and your dreams - everything will happen at its own sweet time - so don't give up and keep trying. Respect is something that each individual wants - so work on being a good person - work on respecting others rights, choices, views and opinions and watch how everyone will respect you and your goals and your dreams. Respect is earned not given - so go out there and work hard to earn that respect - by respecting others. |
