Whenever you feel like criticizing someone, put yourself in their shoes first.

“I keep thinking about this river somewhere, with the water moving really fast. And these two people in the water, trying to hold onto each other, holding on as hard as they can, but in the end it’s just too much. The current’s too strong. They’ve got to let go, drift apart. That’s how it is with us. It’s a shame….because we’ve loved each other… But in the end, we can’t stay together forever.”

When something bad happens, you have 3 choices:

Train your mind to see the good in people. Always remember that the good you find in others is a reflection of the good that is in you!

Your first bath was done by someone and your last bath will be done by someone, so where are you going with your pride and arrogance?

إِن يَعْلَمِ اللَّهُ فِي قُلُوبِكُمْ خَيْرًا

“Sometimes, carrying on, just carrying on, is the superhuman achievement.”

“I didn’t know I was riding a roller coaster that did not stop. When they told me life was full of ups and downs, I thought sooner or later I’d reach the top. But here I am falling through air, stomach in throat, and hands mingled with hair. I’ve never liked roller coasters very much, maybe because I’ve never had a hand to clutch. I’m choking on clouds and spitting up rain water, I’m starting to think delicate souls are born into this world for slaughter. But I’m trying to listen to the birds that fly by, they tell me “hold tight” whispering advice on how to survive. My only hope is that the sun will shine brighter each time I crest the top, and I’ll become mightier each time I brave the drop.”
