1.Disappointment, setback, defeat are all temporary. The Almighty puts them in your path to strengthen you, not destroy you. How you react and respond to it will show your mettle; the kind of person that you are. Keep going. Don’t give up. Giving up is what makes it permanent.

2.Always ask the Almighty to protect our hearts from hardening. May He soften them and allow us to have compassion for those who are suffering in unimaginable ways. Learn to pray passionately for them as we do for ourselves and our loved ones. May He keep us humble at all times!

3.Avoid overthinking. Don’t read too much into things. Don’t delve and dig into something looking for issues when there are none or at least not obvious. Don’t complicate things when they’re really quite simple and easily understood. Remember, simplicity is part of faith.

4.Almighty. Protect us from hypocrisy. Make us honour every word that comes from our mouth. Give us humility to see how far from perfect we are and how badly we need You in our lives. Help us to live lives that glorify You. Help us to realize when we’re being judgemental of others!

5.Know your self-worth. You might feel unwanted & unworthy to one person, but you are priceless to another.  Spend time with those who value you. No matter how good you are to others, there’ll always be that one negative person who criticizes you.  Smile, carry on & do your thing!

6.The future is ahead of you. Stop hankering for what was & what you’ve left behind. Move on! Do not look back! Remember that everything happens for a reason. Review your past, learn the lessons meant for you. Be excited about what’s ahead & what the Almighty has planned for you!

7.Many will promise to do things for you but when it comes to the crunch, they’ll not keep to their word. Try not to depend on people. If you have to, be prepared to be disappointed. Remember, you are what you do, not what you say you’ll do. Rely on no one but the One who made you!

8.Hold on to your faith. Stay firm & resolute. Don’t let circumstances sway you like a candle in the wind. Never doubt that the Almighty’s aware of everything that’s going on. Don’t let others create doubts in your mind. He has brought you this far. Do you think He’ll abandon you?

9.There’s a blessing when you’re down and at your lowest. The only way you can move is up. Thank the Almighty for it because He will raise you if you seek Him. Keep reaching out to Him and you’ll be amazed by what follows. Your experience and breakthrough will be phenomenal!

10.Don’t be full of pride and arrogance just because you’ve done good deeds. It’s up to the Almighty to accept it, though we must never lose hope in His Mercy. This is the only way to keep our hearts rooted to our faith. So keep doing good, no matter what is going on around you!
