Be attached to the One

 

Welcome 2024

Sharing my personal reflections as I welcome 2024. It marks 30 years of teaching experience, 10 years of going through struggles being a single parent, 10 years networking with my Turkish counterparts and now moving forward to a new workplace for personal and professional development. Its an amazing gift from challenging moments to rewarding moments❣

Thank you Allah for Your Endless Blessings❤

Letting go beautifully

 Things will not be the same anymore, but things will definitely find its way as God is in control. 

Serene moments

Do what you love, it helps to keep your passion growing.  

There is a deep message in God's creations for us to reflect and learn from the insights.

even the glimpse of sunset can be serene moments

Stay Beautiful and Keep Moving

Being attached to life's aims helps us to stay connected with our dreams. There may be lots of distractions when we meet people who don't understand our mission.  They may side track us, so just focus on our aims to keep moving. Place our hope in God and not in humans as God never disappoints us. We get disappointed when we are not able to get what we want, but as we submit to God's will, He will definitely give us what we need, so stay beautiful and keep moving.

Stay beautiful 

Stay focused

Each morning is a great blessing from God, wake up with a thankful heart and look forward to receive more blessings as when we are thankful, God increases His blessings. It is God's promise and His promise is true. Its an inspiration to keep believing and moving as we stay focused to reach our ultimate aim which is to seek God's love.

Trust God in our learning journey

 Learning from harsh challenges is not easy, but we are not alone, so never lose hope. Move with hope as God's help always comes at the right time when we put our hope on Him. Learning is a process and it takes time. Trust God in the learning process and move with courage. God will never leave us. He is with us in our learning journey. Truly, God is our protector and He is the best of Helpers.💛

💛 Keep the momentum, build the trust to feel His presence throughout our learning journey💛

The SUN will come again

 There may be thunderstorm but it will pass and the sun will come again. That is  Allah's  design for weather and season; the weather is different during each season; each day the sun will come again after the night. The night and day are Allah's unique designs; see, feel & think life as weather in different seasons. The pain, the hurt, the discomfort or the negative emotion we feel now is like the thunderstorm, it will pass and the sun will rise again. Just focus on our purpose and move on. It's Allah's design to make us realize that He is the Only Savior, He is the Only One we need to through our difficult times and He is the One who will guide us through from the night to the Light.

"Truly my Lord is with me, He will guide me through."(Q26:62)

Stay strong in the Storm- LIFE IS WEATHER

In life, when we face challenging moments, its not about the storm that matters, its actually about how well we manage the storm that matters. In reality its not the external weather that matters, its the internal weather that matters. Yes, its all about how well we manage our emotions as its how well we stay strong in the storm and how well we go through the storm that really really matters because LIFE IS WEATHER. The storm will come and go just as our emotions as life is like weather.

Resilience on the Journey of Life

Brisk walk at Putrajaya, Malaysia

 In every trials and tribulations there's God's special mercy. Having patience and making efforts are essential to keep the momentum on the journey of life, but having resilience is also needed to stay focused on our journey. This is our own journey of life but we are not alone if we consistently seek God in whatever conditions we go through.  There will be foggy and gloomy days when we cannot see the direction of our journey and at these moments we can  lose our hope, so seek God's help to redirect, refocus as we need to recover in order to continue our journey with hope. Yes, seek the gift of resilience from God. Resilience is one of the gifts God gives us to stay focused and to keep our momentum on the journey of our life and as we take time to recover, be grateful as gratitude heals.

When words inspire the heart

my positive affirmation written few years ago which still inspires me

.

Challenges in life is never ending but Blessings in life is also never ending. Sometimes words can hurt us and sometimes words heal and inspire us to keep moving. Writing positive affirmative words really helps as self affirmation helps to mitigate the effects of stress, overcome negative thoughts and manage emotions. Words have power to move us, they inspire us to keep the energy when we meet challenges in life. Sometimes reading again the positive self affirmative words we once wrote can refresh, reenergize and help us to refocus on the purpose of our life to heal and help others heal. Words can always inspire if we deeply contemplate on them as they are truly blessings of inspiration. Sometimes when I feel overwhelmed, I read again my positive affirmations. This is one of the positive affirmations I wrote few years ago when I was going through the storms of life. I still read it to keep my momentum going as challenges are always there but blessing are never ending.

Our pathways

Our pathways crossed for a reason but our journey of life is a personal journey and I took the road less travelled. 

We have different expectations and needs, but when our niche becomes the same, our pathways cross again but this time for a beautiful reason.

Truly our Lord is with us, He will guide us through.

A Rose from Barla

In the name of God, the Most Merciful, the Most Compassionate 

Keep moving, 
keep growing,
keep flourishing..

When we start our days in the name of God, we can flourish in beauty, love and mercy as we are protected by His powerful handhold that never breaks. 

As we flourish in God's name, we will feel the beauty in every single rose we hold; we will feel the love in every single step we take; we will feel the mercy in every single effort we make as there are always beauty, love and mercy in God’s plans and decisions...
