1.We can all learn to listen more. It sounds simple but listening is a skill, an art & a discipline. Pay attention to what people say. Listen to the words. It’s coming from the heart. The mouth will reveal what the heart feels. Listening can save you from a whole lot of trouble! ‬

2.What goes around comes around & sometimes the lesson is much harder than what you had expected. You reap what you sow tells you that whatever you do in life surely gets counted. Yes they do. So remember this; no matter how much life gets unfair sometimes, it cannot be unjust.

3.Almighty. Only You know the hardships & pain we’re going through. We hand over our worries to You as we’ve done before. If not for You, we wouldn’t be here right now. We ask You to bless those who’ve lost their way. Lead them back to Your Path. We’re thankful for Your Mercy! ‬

4.Stop jumping to conclusions. Things aren’t always what they seem. Don’t be too quick to form an impression. You perceive people who don’t mean to hurt you as having evil intent. This could affect your mental health in the long term. So do yourself a favour. Think good thoughts!‬

5.Beware toxic people. They come in many forms. When they can no longer control you, they will devise plans and manipulate how others see you. You’ll feel victimised but try and stay above the fray. Keep your cool. The truth will eventually out. The Almighty will see to it anyway! ‬

6.Learn to detach yourself. From things, events and basically anything that robs you of your peace of mind. Most things worldly fit into this category. Remember, you don’t need to understand why everything happened the way it did. Let it go and let the Almighty take over! ‬

7.You’re facing test after test and you’re at a breaking point. Hold on. Remember, a test can sometimes replace a worse misfortune or it could be a form of protection from something. Take your tests in your stride, knowing the Almighty wants only good for you!

8.The closer you try to get to the Almighty, the harder Satan will work to steer you away. His mission is to create confusion, fear; anxiety & panic over things you can't control. It’s all part of his plan. You need to be aware. Don’t let your guard down; not even for a second!

9.We’re all experts in people’s lives. Social media has made us such! We claim to know everything about others based on what they post online & what we hear. What we don’t know, we fabricate. We embellish. We forget we’ll have to account for everything on Judgement Day! Beware!‬

10.Beware of cancel culture. It happens when a celebrity or public figure is said to have done or uttered something offensive. A public backlash, often fueled by social media follows. Then the calls to cancel the person; to end their career. Don’t be rash & act without evidence!
