are life challenges really bad

-
As humans we often define life by the good times we have experienced and our day ending up the way we plan. Life is complex and sometimes it does not end up the way we plan and unexpected things always happen. Everyone has experienced a moment in their lives where a planned day, event or moment takes a completely differently turn from what was originally planned. This sometimes leads to sadness, feeling heartbroken and thinking that your life has come to a complete stand-still depending on what the unexpected thing that is effecting you is unexpected things or events are part of our lives and it is vital that we recognise this to be able to move forward. Since life changes that we do not plan on occur everyday in our lives, one of the key things that can make this an enjoyable unexpected experience is by keeping a smile. 

Keeping a smile not only helps you but those around you and sends a positive picture to the world around us. It allows one to be able to attain a calm heart and mind and you begin to look at the positive side of life and realise that bad is not really bad at all but a gateway to a new world. 


Life is like a plan on a drawing board and every time we have to edit it according to the circumstances that appear in our lives. To realise the difficult circumstances life presents us with, it is important to realise that life is like a roller coaster, it goes up and down and all around and we experience many different circumstances. Some of the events that occur are the most memorable of our lives, they fill us with hope, happiness and joy, however, there are those that become the least memorable. We hate those experiences, ask how could it happen to us and allow those experiences to let us down. However, learn to befriend those circumstances and work together to reach a solid plan in your life. 

This may sound a bit off but its the truth because, until your difficult situation goes away, it is your companion and you have to utilise your difficulty in order to make the most out of your life. This means placing your challenging circumstances in the middle and finding out ways to tame your condition. You may find out that your dreams and aspirations don't have to change and that you can still reach them but you will just have to use new techniques and create new methods to reach them. 

Just because our life circumstances change due to whatever factor that changes our lives, it doesn't that what we want for our lives have to change. Yes, we may have to make a couple of changes but that does not meant our long term life goals have to change and by embracing the challenges that enter our lives, it will not be an annoying bother but a small challenge that has arrived to give us a life lesson on patience, perseverance and developing a strong will.

Words are sharper than a knife

-
Words are apart of our lives and we use them every second of our lives. Words can be a sense of pride, for instance, we laugh and cheer when a baby says their first word or speaks in a complete sentence for the first time. words are beautiful, but they can also have a dark side. Words can hurt, they can scar and change a person's life forever. That is why it is important for our tongues to have a leash as it can cause so much damage. As individuals we live on emotion, we require love, care and respect to fully function and the words we choose to say to someone can effect an individual. That is why backbiting, slandering and all forms of negative deeds that can be done through words are not allowed. The tongue puts an individual in the most trouble as you are most likely to offend someone with your words than your fists or weapons. Most of the time we believe we are making a harmless comment about a friend, family member or an individual but it is harmful as it is easier to repair...

starting a new year

-
2017 has begun and it was welcomed the same way 2016 was welcomed and 2015 and all the years before that. Laughter, fireworks and big parties are thrown to mark the end of the previous year and welcome the new one but after that live goes back to normal again. Reaching a new year is a blessing because it gives us the chance to contemplate on the previous year and make a change to the new year that has started. Many people do not have this chance because they did not reach the new year and since we did not know we will reach the next year we should use this opportunity wisely. Every day we get to see the sun rise to a new day and breathe the air of that day is a chance to make a difference in our lives. It is a chance to be thankful for the blessings we have never been thankful for before that we have been given before they are lost. The prophet (s.a.w) told us to remember Allah during are times of prosperity so he may remember us during our periods of adversity. It is a chance...

Be Thankful

Sometimes as people we are the ones who burden ourselves in ways that are not necessary and one of the biggest ways we do is by aiming to be what we are not. We love to be what we are not, trying to be a person that is not us by wearing the mask of another. We do not develop our sense of self but try to live the life of another and this leads us to insecurities and self-doubt. The reason for this is that we want to live the life of another by burying the real us deep inside and each time the real us stares at us, we continue to lock it up by looking for more things and others techniques on how they live.   This leads us to something called overconsumption and begin to hurt ourselves as we always want what we do not have but are never thankful for what we already have. We may be healthy, fit, have the necessities in our lives but we continue to see our lives empty because we are focused on what’s missing, not what’s already there. This leads to overconsumption as w...
