Have faith in yourself

Have you ever gnashed your teeth over someone whom you’d never thought would make you feel that way and you did not have any intention to let him or her off? Have you ever felt betrayed by someone whom you used to love so much that made you lose trust and faith in that person? Have you ever been damned by a person whom you used to treasure so much for something silly and stupid? Have you ever felt the rising of detestation within you and could not find any way to stem it off? Have you ever thought of running away from all problems you were confronting with and hoped everything would settle? Have you ever felt like screaming your lungs out and released every burden in you, just hoping that all those encumbrances flutter away and never come back? If you have, then you will know how terrible they are and believe it or not, sometimes you cannot overcome all the dire consequences that you have to embrace.

I don’t fancy having falling outs with people. Nor do I enjoy messing up myself over people who are not worth bothering. That is why I tend to keep those feelings to myself and pray to God to let them fade away on their own without giving any bad impact to other people. It is hard and takes a long time to feel good again but as long as you have faith in God, believe me, everything will turn out good. It makes you feel even better than you should have felt. Remember this? I’m missing the moment :)

During the MYC that I attended several weeks ago, one of the ustads had told us about some tips to be a sheer blissful person. First, remember all the good deeds that people have done to you. Second, remember all those wrong doings that you have done to other people. Third, forget about all the good deeds that you have done to people and last but not least, forget and forgive people who have done wrong doings to you. At first I found it quite stiff to practice but once you’ve give a try, you will know its power.

"Sometimes people come into your life and you know right away that they were meant to be there... to serve some sort of purpose, teach you a lesson or help figure out who you are or who you want to become. You never know who these people may be but when you look eyes with them, you know that every moment that you are with them; they will affect your life in some profound way. And sometimes things happen to you at the time that may seem horrible, painful and unfair, but in reflection you realize that without overcoming those obstacles you would have never realized your potential, strength, will power or heart.

The people you meet affect your life. The successes and downfalls that you experience can create who you are, and the bad experiences can be learned from.... In fact, they are probably the most poignant and important ones. If someone hurts you, betrays you or breaks your heart, forgive them because they have helped you learn about trust and the importance of being cautious to whom you open your heart. If someone loves you, love them back unconditionally not only because they love you, but also because they are teaching you to love and open your heart and eyes to little things.

MAKE EVERYDAY COUNT! Appreciate every moment and take from it everything that you possibly can, for you may never be able to experience it again. Talk to people who you have never talked to before, and actually listen. Let yourself fall in love, even if it doesn't seem right because you are too young or too far, just follow your heart. Surround yourself with those who make you smile, laugh, and make you happy.

Break free and set your sights high. Hold your head up because you have every right to. Tell yourself you are a great individual and believe in yourself, for if you don't believe in yourself, no one else will believe in you. Create your own life then LET GO and LIVE IT!"
