 1. Don’t keep grudges & bad feelings in your heart. It will upset you & weigh you down. It won’t change anything & you’ll end up feeling miserable. Let it all go. Keep your heart light. Let Him take care of it. Your health will improve & your faith in the Almighty will strengthen. 2. Everyone’s journey is different. Don’t look at someone and make your own assumptions because there are many who are silently going on with life because they can’t express their pain. The ones who need a break from it all, those who are facing trial after trial. Pray for healing. 3. Some love to blame others when things are not going their way. Looking for a scapegoat is easy. Blaming keeps people from having to look at what they did to get into the mess. But it takes real courage to admit fault and show remorse. Only then are we able to grow. 4. When you’ve wronged someone, don’t try to turn the tables and make yourself the wronged party. You may think you’re getting away with it but ...

  1. When things get too complicated and you don’t understand what’s going on in your life, keep a heart full of trust and keep moving forward. The Almighty knows! Don’t listen to the naysayers. In time, things will get clearer. 2. If you think it’s one hardship after another and you feel like caving in, think again. The Almighty knows you can handle it. He knows you’re strong. He wants you to remember that difficult battles are only given to strong soldiers. 3. The truth is the online space is getting from bad to worse. People think and type away behind walls of fake names and identity; they think they can get away with it because nobody knows. The truth is the Almighty knows. Remember, you’ll be held accountable for all your actions. 4. Learn to say no to people who mess with your head. The ones who keep doing things intentionally to upset you. The ones who always play the victim even though it’s obvious they’re wrong. The ones who expect you to prioritise them but won’t do the s...

 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 ...

 1. Nowadays, many young people hang on to the belief that if it feels good, do it. This simply means you’re allowing yourself to be controlled by your moods, living life according to your feelings. This can be dangerous. Learn to live a life of faith. 2. Everyone, including good people will do bad things. That’s the nature of humans. We all have flaws. We all commit sins. Nobody is perfect. But learn from your mistakes and try to become a better person with each passing day. It’s never too late to change. 3. Nothing is too small or too big for the Almighty. Just ask Him. He never gets bored listening to your prayer. He loves it when you seek Him. 4. No matter what the odds are against you, you'll fight it; not because you have the strength but because your strength comes from the Almighty. Keep asking Him. 5. The mind replays what the heart can't delete. So be careful what you keep in your heart. Purify it often with remembrance of the Almighty. 6. Don't think you’ve made...

  1. Don’t bother with negative comments, insults & harsh words others throw at you. Nobody knows you better than the Almighty. It’s your Creator you should be trying to please. Let Him be the judge. It doesn’t matter if you’re not everyone’s cup of tea. 2. If you’re feeling low, understand this. Such is life with its constant ups and downs. Highs and lows. Everything is in a state of flux. Nothing lasts so don’t allow yourself to overly grieve or rejoice. Exercise moderation in what you do. Protect yourself at all costs. 3. When you give others a sincere compliment, words of encouragement or just a warm smile, you’re making their world a little better. You’re making them feel appreciated & valuable. You’ll feel more fulfilled because you have done something to make someone else’s life better. 4. If the extra worship in this blessed month is having an impact on your life, it’s time to ponder & recalibrate your life. It’s time to get closer to the Almighty. Make a commit...

It’s the most powerful thing. 5. Stay clear of the herd mentality. Why should you do it just because everyone else is doing it? There’s no need to fit in. Let society say you’re the odd one out.
