Here’s to the fallen, the broken and the shattered. To the warriors who know that to be cracked is to let the light in deeper

Here's to the fallen, the broken and the shattered. To the warriors who know that to be cracked is to let the light in deeper. Who know that the best fruit is on the very tip of the branch and the brightest jewels are hidden within the roughest of surfaces.

Here's to the ones intoxicated by the burning of the winds of change in their lungs and who live in the lands that others fear to tread.

Here's to the ones who raise their voices to the heavens even though they don't always know the words.

Here's to the rare beings who walk the road less travelled, taking the adventure that rises on this path with purpose and passion.

Here's to the rebels, the heartsick originals, and the bittersweet loneliness that fuels their spirit. To the ones who won't conform, back down or step aside. To the ones who were not born to fit in but to gloriously stand out. To those who are here to be midwives of the genuine.

Here's to the awakened ones whose purpose is to feed their soul and not starve it. Whose mantra is the drumbeat of their own heart

Here's to the magical, the mystical and the misunderstood. To the wise ones who move between the shadows and the light. To those who read the compass written on the walls of their hearts and follow the North Star etched upon their spirit.

Here's to the brightly coloured patchwork of divine visionaries that won't stand down, play small or sit out. To the stargazers, the storm-chasers and the Old Souls that walk this Earth.

Here's to the wild ones. Here's to you.

How to be Happy…

Make up your mind to be happy. Learn to find pleasure in simple things.

Make the best of your circumstances. No one has everything, and everyone has something of sorrow intermingled with gladness of life. The trick is to make the laughter outweigh the tears.

Don't take yourself too seriously. Don't think that somehow you should be protected from misfortune that befalls other people.

You can't please everybody. Don't let criticism worry you.

Don't let your neighbor set your standards. Be yourself.

Do the things you enjoy doing, but stay out of debt.

Never borrow trouble. Imaginary things are harder to bear than real ones.

Since hate poisons the soul, do not cherish jealously, enmity, grudges. Avoid people who make you unhappy.

Have many interests. If you can't travel, read about new places.

Don't hold postmortems. Don't spend your time brooding over sorrows or mistakes. Don't be one who never gets over things.

Do what you can for those less fortunate than yourself.

Keep busy at something. A busy person never has time to be unhappy.

We all need someone to rely on, a shoulder to cry on, someone to pour our heart out to

💕 We all need someone to rely on, a shoulder to cry on, someone to pour our heart out to. 

Who better than Allah SWT!

"Sufficient for me is  Allah; there is no deity except Him. On Him I have relied, and He is the Lord of the Great Throne." 

[Surat At Tawbah 9:129]

To the people who get attached too easily,

To the people who get attached too easily,

You've probably decided to yourself a thousand times that you aren't going to get so attached so soon, that the next time you meet someone you are going to hold yourself together, but every damn time you end up getting too close with people who don't even care and you're the one who is left with all the hurt and regret.

This is for you, to the people who have to stop themselves from caring too much, from being too empathetic, from being good, from being human.

The ones who've built walls around themselves not letting everyone in but only the people who are willing to climb. Who has been so hurt they're now scared to open up.

The ones who don't keep a count of how much love they were getting all along while they were busy giving and all they got in return was a pain. And that makes you wonder if something's wrong with you if you are too much?

You aren't, you aren't too much. It's the world that's too messed up, too busy. The people are too good at taking things for granted and keeping calculations of all the love and care, giving not more, or rather less than what they receive. Nothing's wrong with you, you're too good for all the chaos, maybe. Because a person like you shouldn't be someone who feels hurt, left alone with regret but someone who is cherished, who is treasured, who deserves all the love. And if people cannot understand your worth, you should.

Be your biggest fan, and keep those you know care closer. Easier said than done, but it's you who has to decide to not let your happiness depend on someone else. Give that extra care you give to people who don't deserve it, to yourself, to people who actually care.

Set your own boundaries, and don't let everyone in.

Your heart is too precious to get broken so many times, open up to anyone so easily. It's not selfish, it's necessary. Because the sad truth is, people only know your worth, when you yourself know it first.

When we surrender and soften - the very actions we associate with weakness

When we surrender and soften - the very actions we associate with weakness - we find deeper stores of strength and energy. 

May we use this time to experiment with softening and resisting the urge to try to control it all. 

The moment we let go and open to something greater than ourselves, we tap into the source of strength, peace, possibility and miracles that we didn't know we had.

So practice offering the things you can't control to something greater than you. 

Trust that you are not in this alone. 

Do your part while allowing a benevolent grace to assist you in what you cannot yet see. 

It's through the surrender that you activate the grace. 

You've got this. 💚

Most people that meet her see a strong person, capable of overcoming anything

Most people that meet her see a strong person, capable of overcoming anything..

They'll never realize the price she had to pay to become the person that she is.

She started off much differently- bright eyed and hopeful, she charged into the world with her heart on her sleeve and light in her eyes..

But life tried to take all that away from her, it did everything it could to bring her to her knees.

What the world didn't know was that behind the thoughtful eyes and dreamer spirit was a fighter- a brave soul that wouldn't accept defeat and refused to let hardship tear her apart.

While she still made bad choices and suffered crushing heartbreak, she never pitied herself or wallowed in her failures.

She was better than that, for she knew the challenges that lie in front of her and refused to let life bring her down.

Maybe she wasn't ready for the fire that scorched her soul, perhaps she didn't know how hard her journey would become- loss and pain can destroy some..but not her.

She had promised herself from the very beginning never to lose sight of the things and people that mattered to her.

She managed to balance her outward toughness with a sensitive and loving heart in a world that doesn't easily let you be both.

That doesn't mean she didn't struggle with hard days or get down on herself, for there were days that she had to dig deep and claw her way through to the end..but she never kept going.

Maybe she got frustrated a time or two, perhaps she cried a little when she felt overwhelmed sometimes, but you'd never be able to tell..

For her beautifully placid eyes were the symbol of who she was and the hardy spirit that pushed her to keep getting up and looking up.

So, when the fires of life raged around her, she didn't just keep walking through the flames...she became the fire.

When everyone else quit, she found a way to keep going and rising above- for she didn't know how to quit or accept failure.

She was the unusual blend of a beautiful soul that had both claws to dig herself out of the harshest battles and wings to fly high to chase her dreams.

She wasn't just a woman, she was a fighter with an unrelenting vision to become everything she ever wanted to be..

And so that's the path she chose, rain or shine, and she just kept showing up, stepping up and rising again.

One moment, one day and one dream at a time..

She kept believing and evolving.

Beautiful, strong and free.

یقین کرو میرا ویسی بالکل بھی نہیں جیسی قصوں ، کہانیوں ، افسانوں میں بیان کی جاتی رہی ہے

یقین کرو میرا

 ویسی بالکل بھی نہیں

جیسی قصوں ، کہانیوں ، افسانوں  میں

بیان کی جاتی رہی  ہے 

حقیقی زندگی میں The end نہ ہی ہیپی ہوتا 

نہ ہی کوٸ براٸیوں میں ڈوبا شخص اپنی غلطیوں پر نادم 

ہوکر خوف خدا سے لرزنے لگتا ۔

نہ ہی کوٸ ولن سے مشابہ انسان  اپنی منفی سوچ کو لے کر 

کبھی نہ کبھی راہ راست پر آتا ہے 

سب کچھ کتنا غلط بیان کیا جاتا ناں ۔۔

ویسا ہرگز نہیں ہو پاتا ۔

زندگی کو ویسے ہی گھسیٹ کر آگے بڑھنا پڑتا ہے 

نہ ہی کوٸ براٸ سے اٹا شخص اپنی براٸیوں  پر نادم ہوتا ہے 

نہ ہی کوٸ ولن راہ راست اختیار کر پاتا ہے 

میری جان ۔

یہ دنیا ہے حقیقی دنیا۔

قصوں کہانیوں سے بلکل الٹ۔

بےحد تلخ۔۔

جس کی اینڈنگ آخری وقت تک غیر متوقع ہوتی ہے

درد کـا بہـت خــوبصـورت وہ لمحـہ ہـوتـا ھـے

‏کسـی اور کـے درد میـں

‏روتـی آنکھـوں کـی ہنسـی کـی قـوسـں قـزح بنیـں 

‏ایسـے میـں درد بھـی عطـا لگتـا ھـے

‏اور...

‏یـہ ناممکـن ہـے کـہ 

‏جـب آپ کسـی کـے درد میـں مـرہـم بنیـں

If you find yourself in endless valley of darkness and every alley is taking you towards the mountains of pessimism

If you find yourself in endless valley of darkness and every alley is taking you towards the mountains of pessimism. If your heart is bleeding enough to even drench your soul. If you are feeling overwhelmed and  finding no way out. If your all planning didn't work and that last glimpse of hope seems to be faded away. You find no one's, shoulder to shed your tears and speak out all your fears......

Remember, you are not alone. There is always ONE who is near. 

HE is ALLAH. *All hearing* السمیع؛. HE is *All knowing* العلیم. HE is best planner. HE will not leave you through thick and thin. Be patient. How encouraging and consoling it is that Lord of lords, the Mighty Allah knows all your pains and eventually HE will make the way out. Soon you will be contented with all HIS decisions. InshaAllah
