Reflections For Myself

One of al-ḥukamāʾ (ie: wise people) said: al-ʿaql siddiq maqṭūʿ (ie: the intellect is a neglected friend), wa ʿl-hawá ʿadū matbūʿ (ie: while desires are a cherished enemy). [al-Māwardī, Adab al-Dunyā wa ʾl-Dīn 1/29]

We are neither meant to be in the past nor the future. Life is only available to us in the here and now, and by being intentional about being more mindful during everyday life, we can live with greater purpose and more happiness.

It is human nature to cling to things - even those that we know aren't good for us. Letting go takes time and practice to get good at. Here are a few suggestions to help you to make peace with what is, and move on with life in ways that make you happier

It's okay to give yourself permission to feel whatever you're feeling. Remember, your feelings are valid, whether they're joyous or challenging. Honouring your emotions is a key step towards understanding yourself, fostering growth, and cultivating genuine well-being.

Build meaningful connections by presenting your true self to others. Be genuine with everyone, even if some of them may not be. A real smile, a real conversation, real warmth ~ always. The right people will stay and take shade in your love. Some people are not meant to be part of your journey for ever, and that is ok. And some others will always be there, and perhaps in jannah they'll be there too. Forever by your side, in every life, in every chapter, in any case. Those are honestly your people.

رَبَّنَا آتِنَا فِي الدُّنْيَا حَسَنَةً وَفِي الْآخِرَةِ حَسَنَةً وَقِنَا عَذَابَ النَّارِ

Why worry about your future? ﴿وَفِي السَّمَاءِ رِزْقُكُمْ﴾ “and in the heaven is your provision, ﴿وَمَا تُوعَدُونَ﴾ and that which you are promised.”

مَن حَمَل النَّاس على المحامل الطيِّبة ‎the person who treats others kindly وأحسن الظَّنَّ بهم and thinks well of them, سلمت نيَّته will find that his intention will remain true, وانشرح صدره he will feel at ease, وعوفي قلبه his heart will be sound وحفظه الله مِن السُّوء والمكاره and Allāh will protect him from evil and calamity. ‏[ابن القيّم الجوزيّةِ | مدارج السَّالكين (٥١١/٢)] (huraayrah)

Love yourself enough to set boundaries 🌿✨ It’s never easy, but remember: you are not obligated to be with anyone who negatively impacts your well-being because you matter...and so does your mental health!
