Always place your self in high regard

-
Placing your your self in high regard is very important. Thinking of yourself in high regard boosts your self-confidence and faith in yourself as an individual. It makes you feel proud of your self and that you have the ability and capacity to keep on moving forward. Our lives is affected by our mental state, if our mental state has doubts of our self-worth and who we are as individuals then we shield ourselves from progression and the motivation to present the real us. 

Having high self-regard does not mean that you are arrogant and proud because arrogance and pride are usually used to cloak lack of confidence and hidden weaknesses. Placing yourself in high self-regard means that you do not wait for people to compliment you after completing or achieving something, rather you know that the person that needs to take pride in their achievement and hardwork is you. It means that if someone questions yourself credibility and worth you that it is not them who decide if you are a failure or a success but it is you. 

It generally means that people do not write you in a dictionary and give you a meaning but you are the one who writes what you mean as a person. Usually we look for a self-worth through the lens of others, if someone did not comment on my new outfit, new hairstyle, my new car, the A+ I received then I'm not good enough. But the question is, why did you put on that new outfit or get that new hair-do or study hard on that exam, it was because you wanted to. You liked that new jacket or dress, you liked that new hairstyle and you like working hard to do your best, if someone did not recognise this does it have to change the original perceptions you had of these things?. No, it should not, you have to know that your self-worth is determined by you, other's only count when they give you good advice because they care, but today very few comment on you to give advice but rather prefer to mess with you.

So, you are the person who determines their worth and can place themselves in high regard. If you wait for others then you might as well allow them to write a book for you on who you are and what you should with your life because that is what occurs when we wait for others to comment and judge. Very few care about your well-being but others are driven by the urge to stop you, so place yourself in high regard to determine to present the real you.

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...
