Don't fret when you're tested. The Almighty knows what He's doing. Some of your greatest tests will turn out to be your greatest strengths.
As much as you think you know someone mainly from what they post on social media, think again. All their unshared struggles we don't know!
Just because the Almighty hasn't given it to you yet, doesn't mean He won't or can't. He'll give it when you're ready. He knows best!
Your haters & critics don't control your life. They want to show that they have a hold on you, your emotions & reactions. Ignore them.
At times, the pain you're going through seems so unbearable & you feel you can't go on. Don't get angry with yourself. Nothing is permanent
Many times things happen which you don't understand. You feel discouraged by the twists & turns in life. They're all a part of His plan.
Your self worth doesn't depend on what others say about you. You don't have to apologise for the way you look & your belief. Be yourself.
Whatever you do, be gentle. People might have forgiven your harsh words but they may never forget how it stabbed their heart at that time!
If you keep looking back, living a life of regret, how can you expect to move forward & embrace all that the Almighty has in store for you?
No matter how much material gains you make in this world, if your heart is not connected to the Almighty, your happiness is temporary.
Don't be a show off. Question your intention before doing a deed. Do good away from the public eye. The rewards from Him are greater.
Speak less if you can. If nothing good is going to be said, be silent. If you see something bad, advise kindly. Not in an arrogant way!

Almighty. On this blessed day, we ask You to grant the sick a complete recovery & to expiate their sins for every bit of suffering.
Many are so careful with their health & wealth, going to great lengths to protect it. But sadly, they neglect the state of their hearts.
Whatever happens, keep moving. The ups & downs, the love & hate, the good & bad. They come & they go. That's our journey. We'll get there!
Humans are strange. When they can't understand you, they label. When you're quiet, you're proud. When shy, you're stuck-up. Let them judge!
Don't fool ourselves & think we have all the time in the world. We don't. Do good as much as possible. You never know when the time is up!
Yes, this life is tough. Our tired souls, exhausted minds & deep scars tend to make us forget what He has promised. Don't quit, press on!
If a friend walks out on you because of your faith, don't despair. The Almighty will replace him with someone even better. Stay firm.
Bury your ego. Get it out of the way. Learn to be compassionate instead. Live from your heart. You'll end up a much happier person.
