“you’re So Quiet” Thanks I Don’t Feel Comfortable Expressing My True Personality Around You

When Allah wants two hearts to meet, he will move both of them not just one.

“Islam began as something strange and will revert to being strange as it began, so give glad tidings to the strangers.” - Prophet Muhammad ‎ﷺ‎‬ [Narrated by Muslim]

“The one who has patience is the one who trained himself to handle difficulties.”

3.6.17 - 3.12.17 // Last week’s spread! I had a very busy weekend because my best friend was in town, so I tried to pack in as much homework as possible during the week. I think this one of my favorite spreads so far. 

ALSO! I have exciting news - I made a studygram! Well, it’s more of a journaling and art-gram. But you get the idea ;) Follow me & I’ll follow back!

sometimes it takes years before you fully understand the reality of a situation you were in, for you to look back and see it for what it truly was

8 Powerful Steps to Positive Thinking

1. Always focus on what you want rather than what you don’t want: The mistake that most of us make when having a problem is to talk about it over and over again instead of focusing on the end result, instead of focusing on what we want to achieve.

2. Know that every problem comes with a lesson: There is always a lesson in everything that happens to us, and we should constantly look for what that lesson is and master it.

3. Don’t believe everything you think: Our problems aren’t as big as the mind is trying to convince us, and if you choose to believe every negative though that goes through your mind, you will always get in trouble. Observe your mind, observe your thoughts, but don’t identify yourself with them. Go beyond them.

4. Choose to express your gratitude for everything that happens to you, whether good or bad, and also for every person you interact with: The more you choose to express your gratitude, the more reasons you will have to express your gratitude for, and when you’re too busy focusing on the many things that you are grateful for, there will be no more room left for stress and worry.

5. Know that there is a reason for everything: Everything that happens to you, happens for a reason and every person that enters your life enters for a reason, and it’s your responsibility to act upon this knowing and not to label them as being good or bad, negative or positive, etc.

6. Let go of your need for perfection: When you try to do everything perfect, you will meet with stress and frustration – as it’s impossible to be perfect in everything you do.

7. Let go of your resistance: Accept things as they are without you trying to change them, without trying to fight against them. Go with the flow, and know that life wasn’t meant to be a struggle all the time.

8. Learn to be present in everything you do: When you become present and really engaged in the now, your whole life will become so much easier.

BETAPA ISTIMEWANYA TAHUN 2020

Dari ujian pandemi kita belajar kesabaran. Dari nikmat Ramadan kita dapat keberkahan.

Saya gak setuju dengan orang-orang yang 'memaki' tahun 2020. Karena 2020 adalah bagian dari dimensi waktu yang Allah telah bersumpah atas nama waktu di ayat pertama Surah Al-'Ashr.

Instead of 'memaki waktu' lebih baik menggali hikmah di balik semuanya sembari meminta pertolongan

dari Allah.

Karena sebagai hamba kita punya tugas untuk menjaga prasangka dan sikap kepada Pencipta.
