  • #Day 11: Always Hate What's Wrong!

    “Always hate what is wrong, but don’t hate the one who errors. Hate sin with all your heart, but forgive and have mercy on the sinner. Criticize speech, but respect the speaker. Our job is to wipe out disease, not the patient.” – Imam Shafi

  • #Day 10: Sometimes Pain Is Good!

    Sometimes, we don’t see the reality of things around us. We just want them, we desire them. The fact of the matter is that we are so blinded emotionally that we can’t see the true colors of the people or the things that we think they’re the best for us. Let me put it to you this way, when the baby sees how the flame of a candle is sparkling and bright, then tries to come closer and closer and touch it. After feeling the heat of that flame and how painful it is, the same baby that had that urging desire learns one of the most valuable lessons in life which is not everything looks beautiful externally, has to be the same internally. I heard once someone say “Nothing forces us to know what we don’t want to know except pain”.

  • #Day 9: The Ocean!

    "The ocean is so breathtakingly beautiful. But just as it is beautiful, it is also deadly. The same spellbinding waves, which we appreciate from the shore, can kill us if we enter them. Water, the same substance necessary to sustain life, can end life, in drowning. And the same ocean that holds ships afloat can shatter those ships to pieces.

    This worldly life, the Dunya, is just like the ocean. And our hearts are the ships. We can use the ocean for our needs and as a means to get to our final destination. But the ocean is only that: a means. It is a means for seeking food of the sea. It is a means of travel. It is a means of seeking a higher purpose. But it is something which we only pass through, but never think to remain in. Imagine what would happen if the ocean became our end – rather than just a means."

  • # Day 8: You're Not Responsible For This!
    How many times has someone yelled at you or was in a bad mood, and took it out on you. How did it make you feel? Probably hurt, and left wondering what did I do to deserve this? Many of us take things personally. I know I did, and it took many years to realize that it was not me who had the issue, it was them!!
    We need to remind ourselves, “That we are not responsible for other people’s behaviors, feelings or emotions. “ So the next time someone yells at you or comes home in a bad mood, and takes it out on you, just calmly repeat that mantra “ I am not responsible for other people’s feelings, behaviors and emotions. “ With practice and consistency, you will stop internalizing things and become a much calmer, and happier person. Hope these tips helped. I know they did for me. -Amberine-

  • # Day 7: Is It A Skill Or Quality To Connect?!
    Language, Understanding, is it a skill or quality to connect? What's the benefit, and what purpose it serves between two people?
    Let's see first what the definition of understanding a language is. It is a psychological process of acknowledging the concepts of an abstract or a physical object. Intelligent behavior is utilizing abilities and dispositions concerning communicating objects. However, it is only sometimes the case of knowing the concepts but the theories behind them. It depends on the person how much perception is carried to understand it fully in terms of situations and scenarios. We can also say it is a receptive process, just like a child understands what others are talking about to them and responds accordingly to its level of processing the information in the brain. According to Bloom's revised assessment taxonomy, let's look at cognitive learning. It has six concepts: remembering, understanding, applying, analyzing, evaluating, and finally, creating a dialogue/ dialect or action plan. Then with ideas, the principles play an essential part as well, which involves the causal relationships between the principles and generalities of fundamental changes in events, occurrences, and the relationships with the network behind those changes and events, for example, understanding the process of evaporation.
    In short, it is about making connections between different pieces of information, the facts. Understanding between two people involves skilled factors such as empathy, passion, active listening, eagerness to learn, comprehension, and prompt processing for improvement or positively optimizing the outcome of that information. All this process should not take a long time or forever as writing an essay. In real-life situations, understanding bridges the language of friendship, companionship, and different relationships. It benefits human nurturing with nature, different people, animals, and non-animate objects like a favorite toy or comforting pillow, a baby blanket, or other hobbies. Language of understanding in various forms and shapes represents emotions, empathy, willingness to connect for strength and hope, goals providing a safe zone to build trust and love, demonstrating the priority in life.
    Of course, the deeper level is human spirituality. A self-recognition is present at the right time and place, acknowledging where the heart is and its inclination toward its roots and creation. A slight deviation from this process can pause the transition, and desperation to rebuild that connection weakens the momentum—a consistent effort and rationality in healing, wisdom, speech, and robustness. -Saima Malik-

  • #Day 6: Feel Disconnected?!
    Have you ever spent days, months or even more trying to explain yourself to someone?!
    You’re not the only one. Some people have wasted years thinking that having the same language would get them fully to understand each other. Believe it or not, it is the same spirit language that makes you truly and deeply understand. And without it, you will end up wasting your lifetime explaining yourself in vain.

  • #Day 5: Inhuman Humans

    Some people are alive, yet they’re dead. They have hearts like rocks or even more solid than rocks because sometimes water comes out of mountains and rocks. This type of people deserves no attention whatsoever of yours. I once heard someone say, “Don’t waste your words on people who don’t even deserve your silence”.

  • # Day 4: Go The Extra Mile!

    You can’t be satisfied with mediocrity. Always push yourself to the best of your ability. If you do what your colleagues or your classmates do and you wait to be recognized so you’re dreaming. There’s no recognition in doing the average. Always go the extra mile and excel in what you do.

  • #Day 3: So Called-Friends!

    Speaking of friends, not everyone is your friend. Not because you laugh together, you hang out together, you share some moments together. All of this does not mean you are friends. People try to be nice with each other after all, don’t they?! Only hardships expose the true colors of so-called friends. Just pay attention when the time comes, and you’ll be able to tell apart the real ones from the fake ones.

  • #Day 2: Cherry Pick Your Friends!

    What makes you happy isn’t materialism. What makes you really happy is people you have in your life, who truly care about you, appreciate you, correct you when you’re wrong for your own good and not because they want to show others how wrong you are or something else. They guide you when you’re lost. These are the true companions that you should look for in your life. These are the family.
