Once again, I’m here to say this: dhoondnay say khuda bhee mil jaata hai, maangnay say jahaan bhee mil jaata hai. Maang ke tho dekho bhaiii. The Universe DOES meet you at the level of your audacity.
my therapist advised, "learn to calm your own storm instead of venting to others. it may feel therapeutic to let it all out, but you reinforce negative thoughts. it’s no one’s job but yours to pull yourself out of your problems. journal, meditate, exercise,and release." felt that
How to respect YOURSELF
• Stop begging people. [Muslim 1053a]
• Think before you talk. [Bukhari 6478]
• Let people think what they want. [88:22]
• Speak to Allah before you speak to people. [40:60]
• Hide your sins. [Bukhari 6069]
• Arrive on time. Leave on time. [4:103]
according to stoicism, a life wasted by fear, inaction, and doubt is the worst thing you can do. your lack of urgency and imagination is killing your potential.
STUDY HARD. No matter if it seems impossible. No matter if it takes time. Wake up early and start studying for your future. Just remember that the feeling of success is the best feeling in the world.
most of your "adult" problems can be avoided if you:
- regularly workout
- get a 2nd income source
- eat real food
- find 3 real friends
- live below your means
- do what you love for work
- don't have kids with the wrong person
my father always told me: "if you want to go for a run, go for a run, don't look for company. sooner or later, on your fifth run or your twentieth, likeminded people will find you themselves." and only recently have I realized that this principle works everywhere.
The biggest skill you can develop is the ability to reset fast.
Bad conversation? Move on.
Bad day? Start fresh tomorrow.
Missed workout? Hit it the next day.
Poor decision? Learn and adjust.
You can't control what happens to you, but you control how long you let it affect you.
My therapist taught me this trick.
When you feel anxious that someone is mad at you, doesn't like you or that things are worse than they actually are, ask yourself:
"Who told you that?"
Typically you won't have an answer & you'll learn that it's all in your head.
Pass it on.
I want to reiterate that HIV is highly treatable now with Anti Retroviral Therapy with near normal life expectancy. We need to end the stigma around the disease & hold the doctors & bureaucracy accountable for the criminal practice in Taunsa. Its unforgivable.
Underrated social skill: Letting someone have their moment. One-uppers are exhausting. Real confidence lets others feel seen, heard, celebrated. Don’t hijack the story. Don't bring it back to you. Secure people don't steal attention.
Underrated life advice: One of the biggest wastes of energy is trying to control how you are perceived. People will misunderstand you. They will misjudge you. They will form opinions with incomplete information. So be it. Focus on what is true, not what is said.
Very rare that you come across a frame where the aura is this evenly distributed. No mogging. Just some brothers getting together and aura-maxxing.
Generational frame btw. Literally history in the making.
