The season of spring brings new life all around us - as we awaken from deep winter slumber.

​It's a season of hope. It's a season to dream again. It's a season to believe again.

However, this year - 2020, it's a different kind of spring.​

​With the pandemic engulfing the globe and many loved ones leaving our lives, it may seem like a season to run away and hide.

​Instead of hope, there is wide spread fear.

Instead of belief, there is wide spread disbelief.

​Instead of dreams, it's like a horrible nightmare.

​I acknowledge what is happening right now.

I'm in it with you - we are all in this together.

The plans you and I had for 2020 have all suddenly been squashed.

​There's a good few things I've learned over the years of heavy trials and tribulations.

​I've overcome many obstacles and no doubt - as my Queen Mama says - I have so many more to see in my lifetime (and I so don't want to!).

​On March 28, I turned 40, and I could sit here and write about all those trying times - but I've actually learned lessons and have grown so much that those trying times don't feel trying anymore - even though at times I was at the brink of suicide!

Yes, that deep!

It was deep then - I couldn't breathe - I didn't think I could make it through another day.

But I carried on and here I am today to bring that hope back into our lives.

After this post is published, there may be more negative news, and it may even be personal to us, but I know that it too shall come to pass and God is the best of all planners.

This life is temporary - we know this - and we all have to leave for our afterlife one day.

Today, here, we are going to learn from what is happening and the unexpected things that continue to unfold daily, and we are going to spring into action.

We are going to take responsibility for our lives and whilst taking the current circumstances into consideration, create a plan for us.

Life is going to continue and we can't die until it is our time.

That is the truest fact and reality of our existence.

We can succumb to the current situation or get a grip on ourselves so we stay focused and calm during the storm.

Our family needs us - my elderly parents (and cats) need me right now and I need to be in the right frame of mind to be able to handle the situation and what God sends my way.

Amidst the uncertainty, fear, confusion, I must stay strong and focused and so must you - you are needed right now and always - we surrender to God's Will and follow His commands and the guidance from our beloved Prophet Muhammad (pbuh).

We must get prepared.

‘Oh you who believe! Fear Allah and behave with taqwa. Let every soul consider what it has prepared for tomorrow. Allah is surely aware of everything you do.’ (Qur'an; 59:18)

We will be questioned on how we used this pandemic to grow, learn, and become better and stronger humans.

‘Call yourself to account before you are taken to account. And weigh your deeds before your deeds are weighed.’ (Hadith Tirmidhi)

You may be hurting or angry right now, so take a deep breath, release, and for a moment, believe again. 

Just believe again, and read on.

Here are the 7 steps that I'm taking daily to spring into action this season and do my part.

​Yes, I too have my down moments - and that will happen - it is part of our being and day to day life - however, we must become strong to handle our emotions and what is written to happen and when the down moments visit us - because they will!

I hope these 7 daily steps inspire and motivate you too.

1. Connection - to our Creator - God Almighty.

I start here.

We must start here - for, to God we belong and to Him is our return.

He sent us here - it was His Will and He will take us back when He decides He wants us back.

Everything is already written to happen - it's in the Al-Luh Mahfuz - the Preserved Tablet - which is with God.

So it was written, so it shall be done and God does not burden any soul more than what she or he can bear.

What do we learn from this?

Firstly, that everything is already written to happen and that is the decree.

It just is.

Take a moment to reflect on this - really connect deeply to God during this time and then carry it with you throughout your lifetime - long or short.

We are all in isolation mode now - quarantine - and we don't have work to rush to - we don't have assignments to hand in - we don't have exams to prepare for - but the current exam happing now.

You have all the time in the world right now that you didn't have before because of your daily responsibilities, to stop and really, truly, connect deeply with God.

It's what you always wanted, right?

You got it now!

Secondly, since God has assigned us all with our unique burdens (yes, they may be similar - but still unique to each of us), He already knows we can handle it!

It's His promise that we can handle it.

So, why did He (swt) give them to us?

To see how we respond - are we grateful or not - and to purify us and to strengthen us.

Take this time to connect with Him and let's work on our daily prayers and daily Qur'an recitation. 

This will really shape us to being who we are meant to be and we can understand all that is happening and why it's happening and start living a life of purpose.

You won't never need to read another conspiracy theory again!

(And I'm a conspiracist!).

Make a daily plan for your daily worship and study and get to it right now - see and feel the difference it's make instantly. 

Start small but start now.

It will really help you during this time.

2. Perspective - reframing

We each see, feel, and experience life from our own personal world view.

All that we have been going through has shaped up our perspective.

My perspective to this pandemic will be different to yours and yours different to your family and so on.

We respect each others life journey and try and understand each others perspective.

Reframe what is happening around you and see if you can give it another meaning - a meaning more positive.

If we continue to keep ourselves stuck in, 'Why is this happening' and look for the negative answer, we will find it.

Do you need to get healthier? Eat healthier? Reconnect with God? With family? With your purpose here? Who you are? Need to slow down from the race of life?

What other meaning could you give to this which is more beneficial and positive for you right now?

It's there - if you seek it - and if you want it - it's there. 

3. Mindset 

Affirm health and healing to yourself.

The more negative we consume - the more our immune will weaken - and the more susceptible to illness and dis-ease.

Yes, it does all start in the mind and with our thoughts.

What thoughts are running in your mind right now?

Are they helping you or making things worse and causing anxiety and panic?

STOP - reframe - choose new thoughts.

You know I specialise in mindset transformation. I took on a challenge for myself back in 2015 to start reprogramming my mindset and heal myself from toxic thoughts and a toxic life.

On the outside I was achieving educational success but on the inside I was entertaining sad and negative thoughts which lead to sad and fabricated stories - which never existed - but in my mind they seemed wonderful.

Why did I do this?

Long story short - starts in childhood and we keep the tape playing in adulthood.

So, what thoughts are you going to choose? Those which bring life and healing to you or those that will keep you stuck and in unnecessary pain?

You have a choice right now to choose healthy and positive thoughts.

And YES still wash your hands and take the precarious and stay indoors!

4. Focus 

What we focus on increases - simple!

So, following from the point above, really, what are you focusing on right now?

When I watched too much news and kept reading everyones stories on social media - which, my heart and soul goes out to them and I pray for them, I started getting nightmares.

It started affecting my sleep which led to my low energy during the day.

Only two and a half years ago, my family and I were victims of an armed robbery hostage.

My life completely changed forever.

I barely slept for 13 weeks after the incident.

I'm still not out of the incident completely - I still have trauma and nightmares and sometimes daytime trauma.

All this led to my ill health and weakened immune.

I know what to do to help myself out of it.

So, action point, change your focus.

Start with your home environment, your bedroom, your closet, your books - get spring cleaning - it's spring after all. Get rid off the clutter and start creating healthy energy around you. Get to the spring cleaning tasks you wanted to ten year ago, NOW! 

Change your focus - change your life. You have a choice.

5. Pruning

Following from the above - as you clean up your physical environment - start pruning - just like plants and trees need pruning so they grow back healthier - we too need to start decluttering and pruning - keep that which you need and get ready to donate or get rid off that which you do not need.

Mindset - prune your thoughts - cut those which are harming you and choose those which will serve you and bring healing.

Social media - God knows we need to cut back on this!!! It's time to prune what you read online and what you watch and listen to.

Look, even I read the daily breaking news and keep up to date with the basics.

Everything else?

Pruned!

Why?

Read #4 above again!

Get pruning and bring in healthier air and space around you and within you.

Again, results are instant!  

6. Planning 

So, our 2020 plan may have been disrupted, however, we still need to plan.

You had a plan of action for getting your food supplies and the sanitisers right?

Same again.

Review your 2020 plan - whether that's for your family life, your studies, your work, your career, you business, your health, your children, your pets - whatever is your flow right now, review your plan and taking current situations into consideration, rewrite that plan and schedule in what you need to for the next 3 - 6 - 9 months of 2020.

Personally, I'm a 3 month type!

So, although I'm reviewing the whole year for myself, I'm breaking my business goals down to the next 3 months each.

Also, Ramadan is literally upon us and I'm factoring that in too.

So, what can you review and replan?

There are things which you can take control of right now, so go ahead and grab your journal, diary, planner - just don't throw it out the window yet!

7. Action

And, ACTION!

Review all the points above and take action on each point where it resonates with you and which is important for you and your life right now.

If something pops up in your head which I haven't covered then rest assured that pop up is important to you and for you so taking the above as a guideline, take action on what you need to - make that plan - stay focused - start pruning - let in positive light and healing - allow only specific information that will help you in your immediate health and safety - stay and keep informed - keep things in perspective - see them as they are, not worse, envision  the better, and above all - get and stay connected to the One Above!
...................

This is how I'm helping myself daily and my hope is that you too will help yourself to help your families to help all those around you.

If I don't follow the steps above then I'll be one messed up soul and THAT is not good for anyone - especially me!

Just like you, I too am in this with you and I don't want to be, but I'm here, you're here, we are all here.

Qadr Allah - God's Will - but He's also given us the ability to help ourselves.

Will you choose to help yourself?

Let me know in the comments below what resonated with you the most and what action steps you will take.

Sending you and your family lots of love, duas, light for your health, healing, safety, and protection.

Please do keep me and my family in your duas too.

Nadia.

[BTW, if we've just met for the very first time right now on this blog post article and you resonate with my words and you want to learn more about me and how I can help you, then I invite you to CLICK HERE to join my 'Inner Circle Tribe' and grab yourself some FREE Masterclass trainings to start learning from me right away. They'll really help you during these tough times. If you're a regular WBI'er then you're good for now - keep an eye out for the regular emails.]

I pray all is well with you and your family.

I sent out an email to my inner-circle tribe over the weekend and it was appreciated by many, so, I decided to post it as a blog post article.

The recent virus pandemic affects us all - one way or another - so I wanted to do my part to help inspire and motivate you to stay in the energy of hope.

You know our Prophet Muhammad (pbuh) said in a Hadith that when one part of the body hurts, the whole body is in pain.

This is for the believers and those in the fold of Islam.

This also applies to our family in humanity.

We all come from the one same God and so we hurt when our sisters and brothers in humanity hurt.

Sometimes, we are alone in our specific pain or illness - however, currently, we are in this together.

I want to let you know that I'm here for you and should you need to speak with me then I'm just an email away.

Reach out OK, I'm here.

I also want to speak about a few things - I will keep it brief and in point form.

I want to share what I'm doing to help myself and my family.

I've personally had quite a few health challenges over the last few years and in late November last year onwards I had a pretty bad cold/flu/cough/chest phlegm. I had to have chest x-rays and praise be to God all is well. However, the energy dropped a lot, especially with the fever, and I was indoors resting and healing.

So, I hope and pray the below inspires and motivates you to take practical and calm steps too and brings hope in your life in these uncertain times.

Here goes;

1. Tie the camel and trust in God - this is part of our faith in all that we do as Muslims.

Plan, and remember, God is the best of all planners.

I've put a plan in place as I have elderly parents with various health challenges and I'm a mother to two cats.

Get the family involved in the plans - keep them informed - again, as I have elderly parents, I have to take the lead here.

2. I've got the essential items I need for myself, my family, my cats. Stock up on what you need and think of others too. Share - as someone else needs the essential items too. We really are in this together on this one!

3. Check news updates at least once daily to see if there are new steps to follow and follow them (my dad goes to mosque to pray in congregation and so knowing updates about this has helped).

4. The basics which we should all be doing always is washing our hands with soap and water or with hand sanitiser and keep wipes to clean door handles and surfaces and floors (I'm a clean freak - mild ocd on that one!).

5. Check your bills and anything that needs to go out on a monthly basis - don't get a surprise later!

6. If you need medicine then get that sorted. I know my parents have repeat prescriptions and I've found out that we can do them online (even I learn something new everyday!).

7. Ramadan is also coming up so keep that in mind when stocking up for food - again, the basics and essentials.

8. Keep in contact with family, friends, neighbours - especially the elderly and vulnerable. I'm the Co-ordinator for our Neighbourhood Watch (I set it up after our incident) for our road and so I make sure to send out updates and it's my duty to make sure our neighbours are OK during this time.

Be part of a community - online or offline - so you have somewhere to turn to for help and support and please be that help and support for someone too - they too will be scared and need advice and reassurance.

9. Tie up loose ends where you need to - I'll be doing that this coming week, as if there is a lockdown then it won't get done.

10. Stay calm, pray, turn to God, and know that this too shall come to pass.

Faith, belief, trust, prayer - these help put everything into perspective - from our purpose of existence to our personal challenges to global pandemics. (If you need more help on this then just browse our blog library archive and you'll find many articles to help you).

11. Work your mindset!

Obviously there's a lot of negative news and information out there - please try not to get caught up in online social media battles or scare mongering - just follow official government updates.

Limit your online activity where possible - and it is possible - it requires discipline - and remember, there once was a life before the internet - it's still there - it's time to reconnect with it (and reconnect with family and friends?).

Whatever we tell our mind continuously, it will believe, and it will come to pass.

Last night, whilst I was lying in bed, I knew that I had to turn things around for me.

I've been on this mindset path for some time now so I know the patterns.

I told myself that, whilst following the above steps, I was going to help myself through this (as I mentioned, I had been very ill back in November and December with cough/cold/flu/chest phlegm. it was BAD!).

I want to live a healthy and healed life so I said to myself that every time the word 'covid-19' popped in my head, I was going to counter it with 'Healed-786'.

Sounds crazy?

That I am! Lol.

Because I know that what we repeat comes to pass and becomes part of our world, I want to remain positive in all this.

So by saying 'Healed-786' what I'm saying to my mind and brain and body and cells is that, I'm healthy and healed and this will pass on bye.

I'm visualising pure golden and white light entering my body and cells and all my cells jumping with joy and happiness and spreading healing throughout - and I'm asking God for His help and healing.

It takes a while to get used to saying this (as with all new changes) but its working out good.

Try it - you've got nothing to lose. 

Many illnesses and dis-eases are from our mindset and how we live our lives - from the food we eat, the environment we live in, the thoughts we entertain, the people we surround ourselves with, the words we speak to ourselves and others. 

Yes, we all must leave this planet one day - however, there is a lot we can do to help ourselves and minimise and even reduce our aches and pains.

This is also a long topic in and of itself and I won't cover it here - just go back to the 11 steps above for now and work on them.

Some of you reading this will already be in a country which is lock-downed, I'm sending positive vibes and prayers of health and healing for you all.

Please do keep me and my family in your prayers.

Remember to stay positive - stay in the energy of hope - stay Healed-786!

Let me know in the comments below how you're planning and preparing and how else I can help you through these uncertain times.

And finally, for now, let's turn to God, before we return to God.

Nadia.

What a decade!

I'm sure, just like me, you've had a crazy ride with all the highs and lows.

So, as we end this decade and look forward to a new year and a new start, lets's take a moment together to recap the top 10 blog post articles and top 10 videos from We Be Inspired.

After all, WBI was born in this decade.

I wanted to create a platform where I could share with you daily inspiration and motivation to help us live a life full of purpose, with purpose.

It's what I want for myself and it's the path I've been on for the last almost 26 years now.

I'm (sometimes) obsessed with being the person I was created to be and to find myself through all the challenges and difficulties as well as the good times.

Together, I wanted us to use all our God gifted abilities and talents to truly live out our best life, helping ourselves, each other, humanity, and all of creation, and in the process also get closer to our Creator, God Almighty - Allah (swt) - work on strengthening our connection with Him, working on perfecting our ibaadah - our worship - and preparing for our best afterlife - for as I always say, each moment is our only moment!

This is my passion and my life purpose - to help you reconnect with God!

So, grab your hot or cold drinks and snacks, and get ready to be inspired and motivated, and step into the world of Islamic Spiritual and Personal Development.

And if you're new to this world, then, this is an awesome place to start right now, and when you finish, continue browsing the website for more content, articles, videos, and resources.

Oh, and, make sure you grab your notebook and pen - you're going to need it for sure!

Let's do this.

Let the class begin.

Bismillah-ExCel!

Top 10 Blog Post Articles from 2011-2019:

#10 YOU are NOT a Mistake!

 God created you for a reason - for a purpose. 

Each moment is teaching you a lesson and this lesson is shaping up the human you are meant to be - the human you are being right now. 

The only thing is how you perceive it and how you react. 

This will determine your path in life and what you achieve.

YOU are needed in this world - it's time you believe this and start living life full on!
 
#9 Give and You shall Receive!

We live in a society and culture where we want to work hard only so we accumulate all the goods of this world. 

We want, want and want!

Its ok to have goods of this world - if done in moderation.

We need a roof on top our heads and clothes on our body. We need that. So we work for it and its ok.

But it's not always just about us as an individual, but we as a group, a community, humanity.

​After reading this post, you'll become a giver too (if you aren't already) and watch the abundance you receive in return.

#8 I'm a Victim - Get ME out of HERE!

The topic we are going to look at today is about 'Self-sabotage' and 'Victim mentality'.

Today's topic is pretty deep - in more ways than one. So before we begin I request you to read this only if you are ready to move on from all negativity in your life, if you're looking for some solutions and answers and if you want to start making positive changes in your world.

If you're feeling very low and emotional then this topic may really hit home and may upset you or may even make you angry.

​But do read it and do the exercises as it'll really help you.

#7 Need A Quick Spiritual Fix?

So here's the plan for us insha'Allah.

I'll give you the overall plan, but its for you to make your own schedule - because we've all got different daily schedules.

I mean normal people's schedule begins from 9am til 5pm, but someone as abnormal as me, my schedule is 5pm till 6am! (Don't ask!)

(Side note - it's 2019 and it's still the same - the 5pm till 6am thing!).

#6 Are YOU Aware of YOU?

How do we spend most of our days? Do we consciously go through the day knowing what we are doing or do we just ‘flow’ through the day on auto-pilot? Maybe you’re half and half – half on auto and half conscious? 

And, so, the question is – what about the other half? Time to find out now!

#5 Courage Doesn’t Always Roar!

Today's topic is about; 'Courage and being Courageous’.

Before we continue further I just want to point out that this topic is not only for females but also for males.

In a society where gender biases are at a high we are always told that men are brave and women are weak.

We're not talking about the gender differences which Allah (swt) has created but how we always tell boys; 'Boys don't cry they are brave' and we tell girls; 'It's ok to cry, you're a girl!'.

​You might cry when you read this post, but it's OK, it's a healing process. 

Watch how your courage is unleashed.

#4 Is YOUR Patience A Virtue? 

...Or does it make you more impatient? 

Well, we have been hearing all our lives that patience is a virtue!

Is it true though? And has it worked for YOU?

Has patience become a virtue for you or made you even more impatient?

Let's find out and cultivate patience in our life.

#3 What are YOU doing this Moment?

Moments: Know that every moment you have is an opportunity. 

An opportunity to grow, to excel to make your dreams a reality. 

How do YOU spend your moments and what are you doing this moment?

Each moment is our only moment so find out how you can live each moment to the fullest.

#2 Have YOU Found YOUR Purpose Yet? 

* Ever questioned and asked what you're doing here on Planet Earth?

* Ever had one of those days when you said; 'I've had enough! No more! I don't get it! Why ME!??

* Ever wanted peace and comfort - enough of the hustle bustle of daily life and just time to be you???

*Reflection Moment (take a minute)*

If so, then I ask you, what's stopping you from being you and having peace and comfort in life?

Read to discover your purpose in life and then live it out full til the end of your lifetime.

#1 There's something Special inside of YOU

"You say that you are just a body, but inside of you is something greater than the Universe." Imam Shafi (rahimullah).

We are spiritual beings living in physical bodies - both need taking care of. Our soul needs ibaadah (worship) and our body needs the right foods and exercise. When both the soul and body are aligned - we are at an overall state of peace and ease.

But when either one of them is misaligned then we are at dis-ease.

Have you ever felt at dis-ease? Then step inside of yourself and discover who you truly are!

If you're a regular WBI'er then you're good for now - keep an eye out for the regular emails.]

Here's some personal and spiritual development life lessons from our beloved Prophet Muhammad (pbuh).

Let's apply these life lessons into our life now too as our Prophet (pbuh) is our best teacher and role model! 

If your soul is not growing then it's dying!

Are YOU living or dying?

Are you making each moment count and actively seeking solutions to your challenges and working hard in your worship, studies, work, relationship, life, business?

Are you constantly learning and applying?

Are you making a difference to the lives of others and becoming an asset to humanity which you are meant to be now?

On the Day of Judgment we will stand alone in front of God - all those whom we love and those who we go crazy over will be standing alone too!

Each of us will be accounting for our own life - what we did with it and how we spent our time.

We think we have all the time in the world - but do we really?

How many do we know were here with us a year ago and now they're gone!

Take a moment and picture yourself now on the Day of Judgment standing in front of God alone with your book of deeds and ready to account...

He (God) will say, “How many years did you stay on the earth?”  They will say: “We stayed a day or part of a day....”  [Quran; 23:112-113]

And what is our purpose here?

Why are we suffering so much?

Why are we hurting?

Why are we so negative?

Why do we live in drama and create drama?

When someone helps us why do we reject it?

This victim mentality does not serve us!

 We are created for a reason - we must excel and grow!

"Did you then think that We had created you in jest (without any purpose), and that you would not be returned to Us (in the Hereafter)? So, God is exalted, the True King. None has the right to be worshiped but Him...[Qur'an; 23:115-116]

We will all return to God!

THIS is our reality which the Qur'an teaches us over and over.

This is what our Prophet was teaching us!

Yet - we get caught up in our head and the stories we tell ourselves over and over - (usually these stories don't exit - we make them up) and then we make ourselves suffer and then years and years go by and then we wake up and realise we don't have the energy we used to - we don't have that strength - we are not youthful - we have more responsibilities!

We weren't created to just work and pay the bills!

Yes, that is part of life but NO that is NOT life itself!

Life is much more - it has tests and trials to teach us, guide us and purify us.

God has blessed us - in fact gifted us - with so many skills, talents and abilities that most of us are not even using.

Is that YOU?

Are YOU afraid what 'others' will think of you if you step up and shine your light?

I did and guess what...i still do!

It's not easy putting ourselves out there to be judged and criticized - yet we must stand up for what we believe - we must make our voice heard - we must start living right now.

Are YOU ready to live now?

YOU have so much potential in you right now which is lying dormant...because of your fear!

I spent years fearing too...i still get into my own head at times...but the more i put myself out there through my work the more prayers i get from everyone for showing up and shining my light because they needed to hear and read what i said because in that moment it was what they needed to get back on track on living a life of purpose.

God has blessed you - and you reading this need to be grateful for all His gifts to you and declare that from this moment on now you are going to live the life you were created to live.

God don't create no junk - He only creates awesome diamond souls like YOU!

I hope this helped now! :)

"Allah (God) is the Light of the heavens and the earth. The example of His light is like a niche within which is a lamp, the lamp is within glass, the glass as if it were a pearly [white] star lit from [the oil of] a blessed olive tree, neither of the east nor of the west, whose oil would almost glow even if untouched by fire. Light upon light. Allah (God) guides to His light whom He wills. And Allah (God) presents examples for the people, and Allah (God) is Knowing of all things." {Qur'an; 24:35}

I'm on a spiritual detox since the last few weeks - ridding myself of darkness and filling my soul with light.

It's very exhausting and tiring though - especially physically. 

It has to get worse to get better. 

I'm on the worse part however I believe and it will get better insha'Allah. 

May Allah (God) protect us all from the evil of evil! 

So, why am I sharing this with you today?

I'm sharing with you so you too believe and have hope - because the thing is life still continues on and through it all we still have to be present for our loved ones, our clients, our business, our studies, our work/job etc. 

And through it all i'm continuing too as i have clients to serve and family to be present for. 

So, keep the faith, do what you have to to heal and still stay focused on your dream and your vision, believe in it no matter how tough and rough the road gets and work hard and smart to achieve it!

And i'm sharing with you my favourite prayer for light which i love so much and recite all the time!

On the coming of dawn the The Messenger of God (may peace and blessings be upon him) used to say in his prayers:

"O Allah (God), place light in my heart, and on my tongue light, and in my ears light and in my sight light, and above me light, and below me light, and to my right light, and to my left light, and before me light and behind me light. Place in my soul light. Magnify for me light, and amplify for me light. Make for me light, and make me light. O Allah (God), grant me light, and place light in my nerves, and in my body light and in my blood light and in my hair light and in my skin light."
[Hadith Bukhari and Muslim]

So, we all have our strengths and weaknesses and my weakness is that I can sometimes get caught up in my own head with my own cute lil story.

I've had 4 decades of mindset challenges where alhamdulilah I have achieved a lot yet I can easily sabotage it with my negative thinking (usually happens when it's lady time and only a lady will understand that one!).

This self-sabotaging can easily mess me up in all areas of my life that I've worked so hard to achieve and most of my negative thinking isn't real anyway at all - it's comfort zone comfort!

For the last two years I've really worked even harder on this and have had a lot of spiritual awakenings as of it too - and accepting who I am even more (highly intuitive soul with psychic abilities for instance - there i came out and said it!).

So, I'm challenging myself - and if you know me by now then you know I really do challenge myself big time - to drop all negative thinking from my system and to re-write my subconscious for goodness and positivity insha'Allah.

This doesn't mean that incidents won't happen - they will - and alhamdulilah I'm blessed to deal with them strongly - but then the negative thought pattern kicks in - i 'suffer' from delayed reactions which means i'm brave in the moment for myself and my loved ones then i run away and cry under the covers where only God can see and hear my tears.

I've been working harder on my mindset since November last year and now I have set myself this challenge and so far alhamdulilah.

Really, I don't have anything to be ungrateful for (and neither do you) and if I'm really going to help all those who need my help and run a successful biz and have a successful life upon then deen then bismillah and let's do this!

You in? I know it's a challenge and we need a lot of self-discipline but I know with God's mercy and help we can do it now!

"Indeed, Allah will not change the condition of a people until they change what is in themselves." Partial {Qur'an; 13:11}

It's time to get out of our own head and get out of our way and shine our light to become an asset to our Ummah and humanity.

“Verily, Allah has prescribed excellence in all things." Partial; Hadith Muslim

How often do we want to escape our day to day and go on holidays for a break and when we come back we say; 'Oh i need another holiday!'

I hear this all too often from busy professionals who want to escape their 'reality' then they come back and need another holiday and go back to work all tired and moody again.

So, what were they escaping from in the first place?

What you run away from will chase you!

What you resist persists.

Now this doesn't mean i'm against holiday making - i just don't understand the mentality of some who are blessed to take a break and see some beautiful places in the world yet they are still ungrateful and moody to go back to work.

If you don't like your work then why are you still there? Who is forcing you? 

You have freedom of choice you know to make better decisions for your life - for your duniya and akhirah.

Oh, you have bills to pay?

We all do - and so do i!

There are many people who go day in day out without food yet many of us, especially in the west, are ungrateful for all that we have subhan'Allah!

And besides the necessities who said we need 20 phone lines or the newest flat screen tv or technological gadget?

Of course you can afford it, alhamdulilah for that, and of course you can gift yourself but i think we need to stop for a second and really search within now.

Instead of looking for an escape to go on holidays and then still be dissatisfied when we come back how about we stop for a moment and travel within and really get to know what's happening beneath the surface because if we leave it be it will come back to bite us and bite us real bad!

It will eventually catch up and we'll have a break down.

Get to know your emotions and why you do what you do. 

Give your soul a chance to heal now.

You can't move on and live in your present and prepare for your awesome future if you keep looking back. 

Your past is exactly just that - past. 

There is a lesson in it for you to learn - now's the time to learn it and get moving on. 

You owe it to yourself. 

How long will you continue with those painful memories? 

What purpose do they really serve? 

You know you're worth more than your current reality! 

You're simply one thought away from letting go and releasing yourself from those shackles. 

If the Angel of Death came to you now is this how you want to return to God? 

Hasn't God given you life? 

Hasn't He given you the ability to make things happen for you? 

Stop torturing yourself right now and get living the life you want. 

Start by clearing the junk in your head and filling it with goodness. 

You know if you keep eating junk food you're gonna fall ill right? 

Toxic thoughts do just that - make you junk and God didn't create you no junk He created you awesome. 

Begin now and travel within.

Make a promise to get rid of those negative habits and behaviour, start to create some positive changes now and then you'll enjoy your holiday making break properly AND you'll always be on an emaan-high too! :)

"To know yourself as the Being underneath the thinker, the stillness underneath the mental noise, the love and joy underneath the pain, is freedom, salvation, enlightenment." Eckhart Tolle

...YOU are NOT a mistake! 

God created you for a reason - for a purpose. 

Each moment is teaching you a lesson and this lesson is shaping up the human you are meant to be - the human you are being right now. 

The only thing is how you perceive it and how you react. 

This will determine your path in life and what you achieve. 

I know It hurts deep and it's confusing - especially when it happens over and over again and you just don't get it and you're like why me?! 

God will give you the same lesson over and over until you are ready to learn the lesson and move on. 

You give meaning to whatever is happening in your life right now but God only gives us what we can handle. 

Even a prick of a thorn is a purification but for some it shatters them completely - it all depends on how YOU want to perceive it now. 

It all depends on how you control your thoughts and we can control our thoughts - don't let them control you. 

Your unique purpose is unique to you and God ultimately created you to worship Him alone. 

We are on a journey - this journey will take us back home - back to God and His Heaven. 

Each moment is our only moment and this moment, my dearest diamond soul, is all you and i have - how will YOU use this moment? 

Do not fear or lose hope or despair - close your eyes, focus on your breathing and let the Light into your soul. God is with you...always and forever. It's time to create those positive changes in our life, live upon the deen and prepare for our best akhirah now. 

It's time to live a life on purpose with purpose. 

Take a deep breath in - release and now receive love, duas and light. 

Hope this helps on your journey now! :)
