life lesson by mufti menk-168

 1.Not everyone will appreciate what you do for them. Don’t be discouraged because there are many ungrateful people out there. You just have to figure out who’s worth your efforts and who’s just taking advantage of you. Focus your energy on those who matter.

2.Sometimes it’s necessary to distance yourself from certain distractions in your life to concentrate your time, energy and effort on things that matter the most. Don’t be afraid to do that. Your true friends will allow you that space and respect you. Go for it.

3.Almighty. I trust You through my pain, my suffering, my heartache, my sadness, my confusion, my heedlessness. I know Your Mercy overpowers Your Wrath. That’s why I never lose hope, despite my sins & transgressions, I trust You. I thank You for always being there for me. Aameen.

4.Learn to let go of things that went wrong or didn’t work out. Learn from them. That’s life in a nutshell. Keep going. You’ll never win this race of life if you keep looking back. The mistakes you’ve made don’t define who you are today. Think positive that things will get better.

5.In any hardship, don't feel depressed. Ask the Almighty for strength to endure; for at the end of the dark tunnel of despair is HIs reward waiting for you.

6.No squabble or argument is worth it. Don’t sacrifice your Hereafter for such pettiness. Make peace with those you've offended and insulted. Move on.

7.Don't be affected by criticism. Positive or negative, take them in your stride. Know that the level of criticism rises with your worth.

8.We’ve all felt like a failure at times. But don’t drown in that feeling. Remember, the battles you’ve won, the setbacks you’ve overcome, the trials you’ve gone through. The Almighty promised that nothing would last. Keep hope alive & carry on. He’s always watching over you.

9.Be careful how you react to those who’ve wronged you. Two wrongs do not make a right. You can’t be mean, angry or bitter & expect good in return. Don’t wrong others the way they’ve wronged you. Be the better, kinder person always. Your reward is with the Almighty.

10.Once you’ve done your best, leave it to the Almighty. Relax and don’t worry. Trust Him. He has your back. He’s in control. Not you.

11.The closer you get to the Almighty, the more you’ll understand that every trial you’re going through is to get you on track for what’s to come. It may not be obvious now but the picture will emerge when the last piece of the puzzle fits perfectly. Trust Him.

12.Once you’ve built a good relationship with the Almighty, you’ll always be filled with hope and confidence. You’ll always have good thoughts about Him. You’ll begin to realize that He is greater than any situation you will ever encounter.

13.Be on guard always. It’s human nature to judge. But check yourself before you speak or send that nasty message and do any potential harm. You can’t undo what you’ve done. Pause. Try to see things from the other person’s point of view. Put yourself in their shoes.

14.This life is not perfect. The mess you make, the delays, the things you don’t understand, they’re all part of the Almighty’s Plan for you. He’s worked out every bit of the puzzle. Your job is to bear good patience as you go through it. You’ll see the full picture eventually.

15.If you live your life making decisions based on what others will think of you, it’s time for a rethink. If you live your life for others, you’ll never know peace because nothing you do will be good enough. You can’t please everyone.

16.Don’t let bitterness and resentment take root in your heart. They’re poison which will harm your soul eventually. Let go of the hurt or hate that comes with it. Turn to the Almighty and let Him heal you. Feel whole again with a much lighter heart.

17.Choose kindness above all else. Kind people use positivity as a beacon to create more light. That’s because they’ve seen what negativity can do. They make time for others in a world that doesn’t wait for anyone. It takes strength to shake off all the bad and move ahead.

18.Almighty. We ask You to keep our hearts soft and protect them from hardening. Shower us with Your Mercy, such that when we commit a sin, we feel the guilt that comes with it. Don’t make us among those who sin and yet don’t feel remorseful. Aameen.

19.Life can be difficult at times. The never-ending running around & stress to get things done. Don’t let it make you resent life. Learn to look at those who have less than you. Those who would trade places with you at the drop of a hat. Thank the Almighty for everything.

20.The truth is no matter how lonely you are, you’re never alone. The Almighty is always near. Very near. He knows what you’re going through. He is aware of everything. So when everyone has abandoned you, seek comfort in Him, knowing that He is always there.
