Random Thoughts

“Happiness lies for those who cry, those who hurt, those who have searched, and those who have tried for only they can appreciate the importance of people who have touched their lives.”

“I’ve learned that no matter how good a friend someone is, they’re going to hurt you every once in awhile and you must forgive them for that.”

“Strength of character means the ability to overcome resentment against others, to hide hurt feelings, and to forgive quickly.”

Assalamualaykum

1 - Some shopping advice:
If you are to go home ware shopping at any of the following stores.
a) IKEA
b) B&Q
C) Costco
I strongly advise with a health label warning! That ensure you NEVER go to all three in one day. Or else you will be on the receiving end of the migraine of the century!

2- Deal with things when they come to you first, especially emotional things. If you bury them away, they’ll slowly but surely rear their ugly heads and bite you when you don’t want it.

3- The best way to forget something is to confront it … don’t try and forget it. If you come across it or it cross’s your mind … don’t think oh no, think okay whatever its a part of life. The more we try to forget unfortunately the more we remember.

4- Never do anything in fits of anger. And never react to a situation firstly in anger. Well as we all know, it only ends up in regret after anyway! Although some people are a little too proud to admit that they even got angry … but oh well!

5- A random analogy hit me (this happens quite often, the drilling’s of my beloved English teacher :) )
Emotional pain and physical pain: Its kind of like, when we break a bone, it hurts like craaazy, but after a bit, it gets numbed, and once its plastered it hurts, but you get kinda used to it. Once its healed its good to go, but that same bone is now weakened and is more susceptible to be broken again and time to time will still hurt.
In the same way emotional pain, it kills at first, then gets numb. But it leaves the heart weakened, and in the same way as you try to keep a previously broken bone from breaking again, you try to keep the heart from being hurt again, but in the end Allah is the lord of our bones and hearts :D
( I know a pretty thick analogy … but I’m suffering from the case of random thought 1!)

6- Ever think some people just don’t ever seem to care about anything or anyone around them? You think these people actually do not care or are they just so screwed up they don’t know how to deal with people?

Ok I think I’ll stop here for now … Just some random thoughts from your average Jane, living in the average town, in an average country :)

Dua’s Requested

WaAlaykumAssalam

Jealousy is simply and clearly the fear that you do not have value. Jealousy scans for evidence to prove the point - that others will be preferred and rewarded more than you. There is only one alternative - self-value. If you cannot love yourself, you will not believe that you are loved. You will always think it’s a mistake or luck. Take your eyes off others and turn the scanner within. Find the seeds of your jealousy, clear the old voices and experiences. Put all the energy into building your personal and emotional security. Then you will be the one others envy, and you can remember the pain and reach out to them.
