What if'?

What if you woke up feeling inspired and full of energy - every single day?
 
What if you knew you were living a life of purpose and passion?
 
What if you could make an incredible living while also creating a full and abundant life?

What if you understood the power of your brain?

What if you could only imagine success and never procrastinated nor did you ever loose hope?

What if what you thought of receiving was given to you without having to worry about it?

What if you could live every single day without stress?

What if you ain't ready, you ain't willing, you ain't wishing to be the extraordinary to be the unusual self, what if you are?

You know what i can go on haunting you with them words!

But the point is.
"What" and "If" are two words as non-threatening as words can be.
Would you put them together side-by-side and they have the power to haunt you for the rest of your life.

So do you know when in learning the 'whats' did you add the 'if' to make your life as miserable as nightmares?
In short let your life be a short happy present, the now. Rather than turning it into a scary today.

Im pretty sure all of us have our "what ifs" and "should haves" and what i realised in removing them, is when you try to come out of it and you succeed a bit, there would come a phase where you will be stuck in the "what if" and the "fuck it"!

Take my advice and FUCK IT.
HARD.

Survival of Fittest?

In real life, it is not the learning which is challenging but the art of unlearning which takes people off hook. It is because this procedure involves acceptance of the fact that what we know is either not right or needs modification. This involves the phenomenon of change, which has been the toughest while making decisions, a tiresome energy consuming task and easily given up of all time except for those who accept it and believe survival of the fittest lies in evolution, or i must rephrase this as survival of the adaptable.

Enough

Enough is Enough!

What does it take to make you happy? How much do you have to have to be grateful?
To the barefoot man, happiness is a pair of old shoes. To the man with old shoes, it’s a pair of new shoes. To the man with new shoes, it’s more stylish shoes. And, of course, the fellow with no feet would be happy to be barefoot.
This leads to the ancient insight: If you want to be happy, count your blessings, not your burdens. Measure your life by what you have, not by what you don’t.
Yet in our modern world where we’re continually exposed to endless increments of more and better – others with more money, better TVs, and bigger houses — this is very difficult.
For some people, the pleasure of having something good is drained as soon as they see someone else with something better. Our sense of contentment is created or destroyed by comparisons.
A life consumed with unfulfilled wants is an affliction. The antidote is the concept of “enough.”
This starts by thinking more clearly about the difference between our needs and our wants, between sufficiency and abundance.
Don’t get me wrong, there’s nothing wrong with wanting more and striving to fill our lives with things and experiences that give us pleasure, so long as we don’t believe we need whatever we want.
When we think we need what we really only want, we make our desires preconditions to happiness, thereby diminishing our ability to appreciate and enjoy what we do have.
It’s easy to think that happiness is achieved by getting what we want when it’s really a matter of wanting what we get.
In the end, enough is enough, and its time to change.

Advice.

"A friend will not (literally) share your struggles, and a loved one cannot physically take away your pain, and a close one will not stay up the night on your behalf, so look after yourself, protect it, nurture it...and don't give life's events more than what they are really worth. Be certain that when you break no one will heal you except you, and when you are defeated no one will give you victory except your determination...your ability to stand up again and carry on is your responsibility. Do not look for your self worth in the eyes of people; look for your worth from within your conscious. If your conscious is at peace then you will ascend high...and if you truly know yourself then what is said about you won't harm you.
Do not carry the worries of this life because this is for Allah, and do not carry the worries of sustenance because it is from Allah, and do not carry the anxiety for the future because it is in the Hands of Allah.
Carry one thing: How to Please Allah. Because if you please Him, He Pleases you, fulfills you and enriches you. Do not weep from a life that made your heart weep... just say "Oh Allah, Compensate me with good in this life and the hereafter".
Sadness departs with a sajdah, happiness comes with a sincere dua. Allah Does Not forget the good you do, nor does He Forget the good you did to others and the pain you relieved them from nor Will He Forget the eye which was about to cry but you made it laugh.
Live your life with this principle: Be good even if you don't receive good, not because of other's sake but because Allah Loves the good doers".

Subhan Allah!

-Translation from Ibn Al Qayyim's advice.

In a Second.

You want me to be completely honest?

I, always, have been terrified of love. To slow dance with bliss and the prevailing chance of complete misery. Knowing that, it will either save me or it will cripple me.

For if there is one thing beautiful in this crumbling world: It is love.

The curling of souls.

But God, if there is one thing horrific in it, too, then it is most surely loving someone with your entirety,
Only to have it all vanish away within the hint of a second.
