Trust the Process

Along the journey of our lives, we may turn to a pathway that makes us unable to move to achieve our aims in life. We may be stuck as we are not able to grow. At these times, never waste our energy and time to seek validation from others and to give explanation to them, just keep moving to achieve our aims in life. There is wisdom behind the situation and when we focus on our aims, we are able to see why God places us in the situation. We may not like the situation, but we can learn from the unpleasantness that can make us more inspired to achieve our aims. Hope and trust in God along the process, never get attached to people who never understands us and also places that can drain our energy and inspiration. Keep moving by focusing on our aims and eventually God will definitely open a new pathway that directs us to grow professionally. Hope in God and have courage to move to a better place. Trust the process, keep moving.

Compassion and Passion

 There are moments in life we get all messed up and we feel like giving up. It happens. We put too much expectations on too many people and when our expectations are not met, we loss hope. At these moments, hold on. We need compassion and passion to restart. Refocus on our aims in life. Have strong hope in God. Place our expectations on God. He is the best of the Planners. 

He knows what we need, so remember self compassion is needed to work on what we love with passion.

As the Sun Sets Beautifully...

 

Sunset at West coast

Look at the sunset, the end of the day is always beautiful. 

When we feel down, learn to validate our emotions, but never dwell in sadness. Prioritise self care at these moments. Self care is taking care of our own needs.  When we are able to take care of ourselves, we are able to take care of our loved ones and others.

As we go through difficult situations, learn to accept the moments, learn to slow down, pause, take a break, then move on. Recharge, redesign, reenergize, but stay focused and  keep the momentum. 

The sun always sets beautifully; its God's amazing design. Learn to trust in His designs, He designs us and takes great care of us. Learn to be thankful for each of His endless blessings as gratitude heals.

Nurturing good thoughts

morning brisk walk 

Life is full of challenges, but life is also full of blessings. As we face challenges, we feel very uncomfortable, uncertain, we have the fear and we want to ignore these moments, moreover when there is negative thoughts that fills our thought process. Yes, it is a struggle and we need guidelines to go through and not to ignore it. Dr Omar Suleiman mentioned about passing thoughts and settled thoughts in his sharing about our thought process. Our thoughts can be good or bad and in our thought process, when our thinking is settled, it becomes a deed and then it becomes a habit. There is a need to eliminate the bad thoughts and nurture the good thoughts in our thought process. Ibn al-Qayyim conveyed a beautiful messages about thinking. According to this profound scholar, the only way to rule or overcome negative thoughts is to occupy or conquer our thinking. Thus, as we occupy our thinking, we are engaging our thoughts. A person who always think of God, will naturally be doing deeds for the sake of God and live in sincerity. 

Sharing his talk: //www.youtube.com/watch?v=P8vWi6xxvQ8&t=9s

Ibn al-Qayyim said: “Know that the advent of the thought does not harm, the only thing that harms is summoning it and engaging in discourse with it. So the thought is like the passer-by upon the path, if you do not summon him and you leave him, he passes and abstains from you, and if you summon him; he enchants you with his speech and his deceit and his conceit, and it is the lightest thing upon the vacant fruitless soul, and the heaviest thing upon the heart and soul that is eminent – heavenly – serene.” (Ad-Daa wad-Dawaa p.360)

Ibn al-Qayyim said: “Completeness is only in filling the heart and the conscience with thoughts and intents and cogitation in attainment of the pleasures of The Lord, The Most High, from the servant and from the people, and the consideration of the ways to that and of reaching it. Therefore the most complete of people are those that are the most abundant of them in thought and contemplation and intents for that. Just as the most deficient of people are the most abundant of them in thought and contemplation and intents for his own enjoyments and desires – wherever it should be.” (Ad-Daa wad-Dawaa p.362)

Thus, we should nurture our thought process with good thoughts by practicing remembrance of God, asking for His forgiveness, seeking His pleasure and contemplating, eventually through our constant practice, we can nurture our thinking with good thoughts.💗

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.
