When there is nothing you can do but listen

As you grow up, and start to grasp your surroundings  and the events that unleash in front of you, you start to appreciate the beauty of being a child. The innocence and ignorance and the unconditional love and joy you used to spread all over the place. When you look at your siblings now, and where they have decided to proceed in life, you start to sit back and just watch. Sometimes you wonder "Why did they become like this, this isn't right." then you start to question "What did she do to deserve this miserable life." but then with this second thought in mind you come to learn that it is meant to be for her like this, for her future is going to be bright and she will not suffer anymore.

I have to admit that this is quite difficult to experience, yet again it is a wonderful feeling. Although there is nothing you can do to change the situation, the idea that you are actually there for them, simply just to hear them out and let them talk all they want is a blessing. In return you do want to make it better, but you have to tell them it's okay, it's going to be okay you just have to wait a little more. It's hard to do, but makes that sensation rush over you that you have done a difference, you have patted their back and made them know they're not alone.

It will get better, but it's going to take some time.

It will change, but it's going to take some effort and time.

It will make her happy, but it's going to take some effort, effort, and more time.

In the end it requires strength, and the strength god have given you has put you in these situation because god knows you're fit enough to handle it all.

Be patient, and a little stronger...it will get better...nothing lasts forever.

Too Much Reading Was Never A Problem

© versebyversequranstudycircle.wordpress.com

     The moment you start reading a lot, is the moment you start to be afraid of yourself. You read books about controlling emotions, books about living in the moment and books to accept who you are as you are and so forth. By time you notice yourself practicing skills you never thought you would, you see yourself very dedicated to ensure healthy thinking and not rushing through what might happen in the future because no one knows what is going to happen. You notice yourself puling yourself back to today, when you notice being afraid and emotional about things that will happen tomorrow, you remember that whatever you're feeling right now, whether you feel like crying or anxious, is eventually forced on yourself by yourself. You shiver to the thought of harming yourself, but you happen to be the one doing so with your thinking. Keep it to the day when it comes to calm yourself, but then what happens when that day has come? You can't help but give in to reality and accept your reactions and the harshness of life, somethings are always against our wills, there is nothing we can possibly do about them but respect the flow of time and that only time will heal.

     Little did I know that I would be the one practicing all that, and eventually respecting that only time will heal, will it though?

     Yes, it will because you feel it will and because you believe it will. The day where you look back at your current self will come and you will feel proud of how you mastered the strength to accept reality and move on.

A Child At Heart

     What's interesting about life is the fact that you are meant to go through a lot while you  are alive. You are not supposed to expect to live happily ever after all you life, that does not add up to anything in your life records. What makes your life worth the living and reading if you start to write it down, is the struggles and problems you go through while you live. It is from them you take all your strengths and it is from them that you learn to beauty of actual living. You experience patience, pain, silence, and faith all together and while you do, you start to grow into a wiser person. That is the case only if you believe that everything happens for a pretty good reason, and whatever good you do is not to expect anything in return, in fact you do it to live happy and to feel good about yourself. That is all.

     Never expect anything in return to whatever you do, if you do good then keep on doing it for nothing in return. On the contrary, avoid seeking harm and pain to the other people around you. If you think you can not say something nice, then don't speak at all. If you believe that you can not do something good to make it better then do not volunteer to make it worse. Keep it all to yourself unless it's something good that will contribute to making others happy. 

     I came to learn that everything happens for a reason, whether it's something we like or something we detest, if it's meant to be it will be regardless. I came to learn that a weak heart always wins, when a child starts to cry, feeling soft is not a bad thing. When a child that wants to be held is not held, you go and pick him/er up and hold them until their desire is satisfied, it is okay to do that. Sometimes an unexpected moment of silence is all that is needed. Children feel and understand even though they have not matured yet. They feel sad from time to time, they feel the urge to cry for no reason, that is okay. When they are in their ultimate point of joy is when I say "It is okay to be a child at heart". It is them tiny humans that show us the true meaning of life and teach us how to live and enjoy the moment. Let go of all the pain and guilt and hatred, be a child and live happily ever after.

     When you want to do something unexpectedly, then do it. Try to avoid thinking about what has not happened and you "think it might" happen in the future because there is no guarantee that the future will arrive. It is all about the moment, although hard to live by but it is worth a try. Force yourself to think about now and live now, when you catch yourself thinking about the future, then look back and stay in the now. Before you run out of the now.

There Is No Difference

    Over time, you come to learn that it is not all about how old you are or what position you are holding at the moment. It's all about what you grew up doing and how you were initially taught in life. How you were raised and on what basis, sometimes I sit back and think about being in someone else's shoes. Although I wouldn't trade my pair of shoes for anyone else's but I usually tend to sit in a public place and watch all those different minds wandering around maybe with a life goal or just carelessly. I have been blessed with a wonderful life all thanks to my mother, and I came to learn to appreciate everything and thank god for everything so sometimes I watch people and wonder. 

    If you consider age as an example, then life have brought be across a lot of grown up people that have experience life more than I have, but sadly they do not seem to be thinking right or even for the least, "logically".

    If you consider the level of education, then that is no exception at all. It is true that the more you learn, the more you know and the better you understand. However, if you start to look at it partially from a different perspective, some people who have not received the gift of education turned out to be more life survivors than people who have been blessed with the best education. They happen to understand and help others from life, they taught me that not everything in life is in books. Sometimes you do not need books to live, you actually should not believe that in order to live you have to study, no it's actually the other way around. In order to live life the way it should be lived, you need to study if you get the chance, if you do not get the chance then you need to live life with morally and ethically. A lot of literate people have taught us what life is all about without reading about it in books, a lot have changed the world without knowing how to read a book, and a lot have positively impacted the human race without knowing to write a word. In the end it is all a matter of acceptance, appreciation of anything you have, and faith in god.

    It doesn't matter what you do for a living, or what level of education you have completed, just know that all of this is useless if you start to live with no goals and start to treat people like they work for you. Just remember that in the end we will all fall into the same place and we all have the same parents down in history, also do not forget that in the end we are all literally the same. There is no difference between us, all of us are humans, all of us were put in this life test for a reason, and all of us will meet again when our time is over here.

They Were Right

© thedolcediet.com

    Growing up, we were living with the thoughts that everything is really easy to do, it just needed a little courage from our side to achieve. However, little did we know about what it really took for all the elders around us to make life seem so simple and easy. Little did we know about the time they spent finding the easy solution for us, the most enjoyable one for us to understand, and the simplest act for us to stand up and talk... little did we really know indeed. They spent most of their time, usually days working on a project for us to dissolve it from that huge complicated one to the tiny one we saw was very easy to do. We thought when we grew up, we would easily find our way on our own, we would easily make it through, little did we know, indeed.

    It finally is true, what they used to say, once you grow up you will thank me, once you grow up you will learn and know what it takes. All it needed was to grow up, and we finally did, and what conclusion did we fall into: "They were right."

    If there's anything you want to be, anything you want to do, or anything you want to get, you will definitely have to work day and night to get to it, some say you have to give up sleep to get to where you want. Are they right? Is that true? Damn right it is.

    They used to make fun of all the dreams and ambitions you have, most of the time we heard people say "Dreams? They never come true.". Some people say they don't, other believe they do, but have they witnessed dreams come true? That, I am not sure about, but one thing's definite and for sure : I have seem dreams come true right before my very own eyes.  After that being witnessed, I had faith in dreams even more, because at some point if I crave my path towards my dreams, I will make them happen, and that is definite.

    Don't just sit there and dream all you want, sit there and dream all you want and work your way to get there, take that step that will be the breaking point between your courage and hesitance, and one day you will look back and pat yourself on the back for being courageous at least once in your life so far.

"열심히 해라"

Adventures Ahead

    The beauty behind the so called adventures of Life is not knowing what is ahead of you, that is mainly accompanied with fear and sometimes disappointment. That should not be the case although it usually is, fearing that something might happen or what if that happens, this falls down to living in the "what-ifs". However, that's not what we should be doing right now the reason for that being is because we will be wasting our time thinking of what  the future might hold for us. "Might" is the secret key word in this case because it implies to uncertainty, that is no fun way to live Life.

    As humans of different thoughts, escapes and lives, we usually tend to forget a lot and if we're lucky enough to do the right thing "Live Moment." We usually take breaks from our regular routines and if we're risky enough , we'd decide to take the risk itself for a sudden change. I've been away from writing for quite sometime now, was it against my will though or did I simply decide to stop writing for some time? Neither is the case, it was mainly that period of time where you decide to spill all your thoughts in this virtual journal and feel great about it yet you simply do not get the chance to do so.

    We all have a story we'd rather not share, but because it makes us feel strong we decide to master the courage and speak it out. Reality strikes real hard when you least expect it to, Life out of the blue decides to teach you a lesson and put you on the spot, again when you least expect it to. How many of us heard of the "Life is not easy" phrase and "You really have to be strong enough to stand up for yourself and experience the difficulties of first times". I bet we all heard them at least several times during our lifetime so far. But did we really know what they mean or simply how they felt? I shall bet and doubt as well on that.

    When you think of the people you love and care about, there are some times where they eventually turn out to be helpless, just like you. Simply incapable, however, they show you that they're there to do what's in their strengths to do. But have you thought of god? The one and only who is capable of it all, who is never going to leave your side? Allah is indeed the one and only all mighty.  In times of need when people can do nothing to make things better, literally nothing, and when they have to leave you standing alone because it's the way things should be, only the strong believers will know that they really are not as a lone as they think they are. Never will they ever be alone because we are not meant to be alone when we believe in the one and only Allah. It is only when you truly experience the beauty of Allah being there with you in times of need is when you pray blissfully and endlessly thank him for giving you yet another chance.

    As the days pass, we lose the ones we cared about, it hurts like hell. Feeling helpless, and simply hurting, keeping it as that the only thing you gotta do and can do is pray for strength and stronger faith.

Keeping it as that, you only gotta pray and stay strong because that's what Life is all about.

Do not rush

 © picturequotes.com

"Just be patient, let the game come to you. Don't rush. Be quick, but don't hurry." Earl Monroe

    There's this part of us that wants to get there really quick, no matter what it takes, we just want to be there right now this instant. We only target that moment we want to live right now, we don't care about the consequences that follow. You see that's the point of it all, we want to enjoy the excitement of that sweet moment, the rush it bring through us and the happiness within that split second. That's all that matters, whatever it takes we just want that one moment.

    But hold on for a second, what happens to the time spent to get to that moment you could die for? Have it a day or two, maybe a week or so wouldn't that be a waste? It definitely would, but for that rush moment you're willing to give up hours worth of spending. But then it all goes down to that moment again, pretty astonishing how the human mind works for what they really want.

    All about rushing through things and rushing to get to that moment is basic talking. Taking it from a different point of view could be interesting. Initially speaking, we all rush through different types of activities, incidents, and topics. Some people rush through things because that's the way they are, others rush through things because they have to and their lives depend of rushing, other do it for the sake of trying it out.

    The worst trait we human have is quick judgments. We judge people very quickly, way too quickly. When we're standing in line in a super market, and suddenly that one person stands next to you or decides to cut in through the line, we jump into conclusions and categorise that person as being reckless and ignorant. Wait a minute, why? Maybe they had a lot on their mind to the point they walk around senselessly. Maybe they just got a tragic call and lost focus on this entire world. Who are you to judge though? You're standing perfectly fine, nothing on your mind, nothing waiting in your list, you can stand in line for the entire day and not get affected by anything, but then you decide to jump into judging that innocent soul trying to survive through the day. That's a shame. Shame, shame, shame. Where did your human instincts go? Where did all the "think positive of people" type of ideology go? Somewhere through your lifetime, you could be in that person's shoe, so do not let your judgements take you far, just take it easy for once and figure things out bit by bit and have a little faith in humans.

Have a little faith.

We all are equal in the end.
