not without shadow..

Real happiness..
The kind with sustenance comes with blood and tears..
Real happiness enters the hearts of those that know what
Real pain and suffering is...
Real happiness is with those that can appreciate both sadness and happiness
With the realization one can not be with out the other.

soul

Its not so much the echo of our words..
But the sustenance within' our souls...
let not our legacy be of what we say..
But of what we lived and died doing.

What can't be said..

Its easy to say you love someone.. but it takes another kind to love through turbulence's we all encounter.. Especially the kind that is understood without a word spoken. Its the kind that sticks everything out past the very end because you know and believe in One thing...and that one thing doesn't have words to describe it. May our love shine through the blood,sweat and tears... In our hearts, we're always laughing.

Starting over

Life is full of STARING OVER...or better yet just starting a new page, adding a chapter... The glitz and sparkles of this life are nice to look at and to hold, but clinging to them hold you back from experiencing REAL beauty out there. Let go of the things, don't go giving up everything you have(but if you can awesome) just don't allow THINGS to get between you and those you love, or weigh you down from making a leap forward. Life is an adventure to experience... I don't want to be tied down behind the white picket fence as there is so much more out there in the world.

Inside

Don't feel lost in the struggle big or small... The ultimate destination always remains, but we can define the way. Choose to believe in the positive, whether or not you see it immediately. The bumps will never go away, but we can become better adapt in dealing with them. 

You don't need permission to be happy. You don't have to crawl towards it, or beg for it. Its something that is instilled within' YOU, and ultimately in everything once you realize it.

I smile and I'm happy not because I've ever had a perfect life, But because I work for it constantly inwardly and outwardly. 

May we all feel light through the highs and lows, inshAllah... Ameen.

Static

Sometimes people don't listen..They hear what they want, they hear what they fear... No I'm not the monster that you feed inside..

Water vs pebbles

For some,we sometimes set our feelings aside just to keep the flow going. You're the man/woman in the middle, the messenger, the pillar, the diffuser, the reasonable, sensible, patient, compassionate minded individual. BUT, instead of saying sorry constantly for every little thing,don't feel like you're walking on egg shells. Silence is so much better..Better yet smile with the the Truth inside. Don't be sorry for being considerate..Don't be sorry for someone else's misunderstandings and misconceptions of you or the world.

Our actions are a different story. People often say and do two different things... Can we live with our actions by the end of the day?

I'm by far not anything close to being a 'perfect' individual... Who is? But at the end of the day I can live with myself.. If you can say that, than you have so much more to be grateful for than you know. Everything else is superficial... Alhamdulilah
