[Lessons
learned from Bediuzzaman Said Nursi’s Risale-i
Nur (Treatise of Light)]
In order stay healthy physically, mentally,
emotionally and spiritually we need to make positive actions consistently every
day. Managing our well-being carefully is very important as it leads to a
healthy life-style free of worries to be filled with joy. Focusing on good
things is not easy, but we can make great efforts by making small daily
practices day by day by filtering our thoughts and unfollowing negative thoughts as well as
following and filling our hearts and minds with positive thoughts. We live is a
challenging world and we face harsh moments in life. We need to be mindful; never
let this unhealthy environment make us stuck; make positive actions that can
make us grow healthily. Look around us and search for beauty that reflects
God’s infinite mercy and endless compassion. Appreciating what God has given us
is a good practice of gratitude that helps us to maintain good thoughts for
healthy growth. Make our ultimate aim as seeking God as He is the Most
Compassionate, the Most Merciful who always takes great care of us. These
positive actions will strengthen our center of gravity which is to seek God. So,
let us keep moving, keep growing and keep the momentum by looking at the good
side of everything.
LOOK ON THE GOOD SIDE OF EVERYTHING
The blessed and intelligent person went on his
way, suffered no distress. Due to his fine morals, he thought of good things
and imagined good things. Everything was friendly and familiar to him. He did
not suffer any difficulty and hardship for he knew the order and followed it.
He found it easy. He went on his way freely and in peace and in protection.
Then he came across a garden where he observes the lovely flowers and fruits as
he acted according to the rule, “look on the good side of everything.” The sensible
person is he who acts according to the rule: “Take what is pleasant and clear,
and leave what is distressing and turbid,” and goes on his way with
tranquillity of heart
(Risale-i
Nur-The Words).
