1.Do you find it hard to forgive those who’ve wronged you? Learn to cultivate a generous & caring spirit. It’ll serve as a reminder of the importance of showing mercy to others. We can be so harsh to each other over small things, but don’t we hope for the Almighty’s Mercy?

2.Don’t be disillusioned with life. Not everyone will appreciate what you do for them. Don’t be discouraged as there are many ungrateful people out there. You just have to figure out who’s worth your efforts & who’s merely using you. Focus your energy on what pleases the Almighty.

3.We care so much for our physical being but how about our soul? It’s the soul that lives on, not our bodies which we so painstakingly look after. Remember, anyone can feed your stomach but only you can feed your soul. Start today by doing what the Almighty has prescribed.

4.We embody what we talk about. If you’re always having a negative mindset, always complaining, doubting, making a big deal of all your problems, then you’re bringing all the wrong things to life. Your words can take you away from your destiny. Think positive. Act positively!

5.When you decide to move ahead in life, you may need to let go of people from your past. Why? Because they’re normally stuck in a mindset that sees you for who you used to be. They’re not receptive to change. So surround yourself with people who build your future not your past!

6.Don’t curse delays. No matter how much you hate it. It’s human nature to want things to happen when we want them. But the truth is, behind every delay, there's a blessing. Do not regard every delay as negative. Remember, the Almighty knows what we don’t. So lay your full trust!

7.Don’t let life weigh you down. You’ve come this far because the Almighty has a plan for your life. Otherwise, you won’t be here. Believe it. Embrace the journey. Don’t see each day as a chore. Treat it as a blessing. Not many get to experience it. Be grateful. Thank Him.

8.Do you know what happiness is? Happiness is a state of mind. Yes. Oftentimes, we expect everything to be perfect for us to be happy. No! Things don’t have to be perfect, but you need only to have peace of mind to achieve it. Be at peace with yourself and happiness will follow.

9.Whatever you do, don’t change your behavior pattern just to gain people’s approval. Remember, most will only like what you do for them. They’re not interested in anything else. If you’re worried about people liking and respecting you, start by liking and respecting yourself!

10.Don’t give up on yourself. You’re all you have. No matter how hard it is right now, push forward. That’s what the Almighty wants you to do. It will get better with time. Believe that. One step at a time. One foot in front of the other and before you know it, you’ll get there!
