♥ "We should know that Allah has created us to live an eternal life with no death, a life of pride and ease with no humiliation, a life of security with no fear, a life of richness with no poverty, a life of joy with no pain, a life of perfection with no flaws. Allah is testing us in this world with a life that will end in death, a life of pride that is accompanied by humiliation and degradation, a life that is tainted by fear, where joy and ease are mixed with sorrow and pain." ♥
Ibn Qayyim Al Jawziyyah

...My mama always says; 'If you point one finger at someone - see how many point back at you.' So let's look at the positive side. We've all been guilty of pointing 'The Finger'. So now let's focus on the fingers pointing back at us - how many? Three. Right. So which three things can we improve on? Which three things can we work on to become a better version of us? Now let's go fix up those three things and when we've done that - work on the fourth 'pointy' finger iA :)
..Is a Lover not a Hater. Is Loyal til Eternity and Beyond. There's too much hate in the world because people are hurting within. We need to fix up our souls or else we'll spend our lives in this same cycle of hurt, pain and sadness. Learn to Love - because Love is Pure - its a Gift from the Divine ♥
...Escape is easier than Change. That's why most the time we stay stuck in a rut. We want to change for the better but we're too afraid - what will others think? Can I do it or not? Etc, etc. So we escape - how? We procrastinate, put things off, do things other than what we should be doing. Escape is easier. But escape is temporary and we have to face reality sooner or later. Change is constant and continuous and it allows us to free ourselves from mental shackles and helps us move forward and not stay there in a rut. Make a decision right NOW to make that positive change. You owe it to yourself to be the better version of you insha'Allah. I did and hamdulilah that I finally did! :)
...If you're hurting and need a shoulder to need lean on and you look around and all of a sudden everyone has disappeared - then don't start hating your loved ones - just know that Allah (swt) has sent them away for a while so you can reconnect with Him (swt) and He is the only one who can wipe away our tears. When He (swt) sends your loved ones to you to be there for you - this is a gift from Him at that time - but at other times He (swt) wants YOU just to turn to Him alone - just you and Allah! :) ♥ There's a Genius lying dormant within each of us. Go on and find that genius within. Even if everyone is against you - its ok. You ride it solo. Set your sails high and find that genius. And when you find then give thanks to God because when everyone else turned their back on you - He (swt) made sure your boat stayed afloat and He (swt) helped you find the genius He (swt) created! :) ♥ ...Smile your way through the storm because tears will just add to the floods and eventually drown us. Let the storm dry with your smile, your faith, your courage and your belief. Because it will lead you towards your destiny :)
...People come - people go. God is here to stay. So when everyone has gone and you can't find anyone then know that its time to pray - and reconnect with the One as He'll refix your day! :)
...Don't make a promise that you can't keep. Don't break a promise once you keep. Let's think before we make a promise to someone - because its heart breaking and soul shattering when a promise breaks. Let's be realistic and say I will make dua for you (that I can fulfil my promise). We should be open in our communications from the start insha'Allah :)
...As the winds change direction - so do we. We change. Whether we acknowledge it or ignore it. We change. We have to. We evolve all the time. We get older. Circumstances and situations change. Which requires us to change. I used to be afraid of change when I was younger, because I was comfortable the way it was. But change is good. I allowed change to allow me to grow, to realise my true potential, to achieve my dreams. You and I will always change. Let's not run from it but embrace it. Change is good.
