1.Life’s a journey; from the Almighty & back to Him eventually. As a traveler you must chart your course based on what He has prescribed for you. You will fail, you will fall & you’ll get up again. Don’t be afraid to make U-turns. Seek His help often. He is the best GPS you have! ‬

2.Whatever you give attention to grows in importance. Don’t dwell on critics and haters. Focus on your Creator and His plans for you & your life. Don’t worry about those trying to put you down. Your job is to respect others and not to hurt anyone. Do your best. He’ll do the rest! ‬

3.Don’t brag about your achievements. Don’t make a song and dance about it. Whatever the Almighty has bestowed on you, protect it. Guard your blessings because people tend to ruin it. Yes, even the best of friends and the ones with pure hearts can ruin whatever you have.

4.Tired & weary as you are in your journey, you’re not alone. Your heart feels so much pain. You’re not alone. You need to be patient with what the Almighty has planned for you. For how long? All your sacrifices will be worth it. The more patient you are, the greater your reward! ‬

5.It’s inevitable to look at others & yearn for their lifestyle on social media. Next time you find yourself doing that, stop & think if it’s fair to compare your life with theirs when you’re only seeing a portion of their life they want you to see. You don’t have the full story! ‬

6.Stay positive. It’s the catalyst for survival in life. Your ability to be able to see the glass half full rather than half empty is the key to being happy and appreciating where you are in life. Gratitude is key. The Almighty will bestow you with more when you’re grateful! ‬

7.Losing someone you love is a huge test of faith. That’s the reality of this life. How you pick yourself up and carry on shows how much you understand the Almighty’s plan. May He help us cope with our loss and reunite us with our loved ones in Paradise.

8.Choose what you want in life. Happiness or sadness. It seems quite obvious but many don’t follow it up with action. If you want to be happy, work for it. Be proactive. Get the Almighty’s help not just for worldly things. Bit by bit your life will change. You’ll be content!

9.Just because you’ve been having one disappointment after another, doesn’t mean things won’t get better. Trust the Almighty. The beauty of letting Him take over is that He knows us better than we know ourselves. Believe that whatever it is will arrive in His perfect timing! ‬

10.You may think that everything is going wrong, but the truth is something is still going right. You lose one thing, you gain another! When you can’t think of anything you’ve gained, there are still countless blessings to be thankful for. So when broken-hearted, draw closer to Him!‬

11.It takes a huge amount of courage & strength to forget about what you’re going through, the troubles in life & put on a smile for the world to see. Appreciate how strong such people are for being able to stay positive in spite of everything! So always be kind to those you meet!

12. ‬Cherish the scars you get in life. They serve as a constant reminder that you struggled & strove to be who you are today. Not everyone can handle life crisis. Among the most beautiful people are those who've known defeat, suffering, struggle, loss & they emerged winners!

13.How you feel about yourself should not be dictated by someone else’s opinion, points of view, words or thoughts. People will say what they want and they’ll judge. That’s human nature. Let it be. Don’t give them so much power over you. Stand your ground and just be yourself! ‬

14.When you think your life’s falling apart; you’re going through a divorce, just lost your job, financial difficulties abound, your health’s suffering. It’s times like these where you need to draw even closer to the Almighty. Trust Him amid the pain. He will shine His light on you!‬

15.People & circumstances around you may try to push you down. But don’t worry; the Almighty is All-Knowing. He knows what to do. He knows who has evil intent; who’s trying to help you up & will give you a hand! He puts people in your life for different purposes. Trust Him! ‬
