celebrating life!

When we are not happy, we see everything in a negative light. Everything seems to bother us and we can't wait to "get out" of the situation we are in.

Men and women suffer differently. But in very similar ways, they display this kind of feeling. The thought of not being happy in any situation, only being home, were one feels "safe". It is normal for people going through a depression to feel this way. Depression or anxiety or stress even.

But you have to realize that God created everything. He created every situation, every person, every thought of your too. So in a way, you must be strong and "adjust" to fit into that particular situation. Don't try to change it, simply "accept it". You mold yourself like a piece of dough and make yourself comfortable, that's all.

When we feel low self esteem this is really hard.

We see everyone as "better" than us or sometimes we see people "wasting time" and we don't want to be part of that situation. But the reality is, God put you in there to try you, to see how you react in that situation. You must put your BEST face and not worry too much, God will take care of you. Smile at people, be gentle, be sweet. People will understand, will be gentle and will smile back! Believe it.
You will start to feel that you fit there and your purpose in life has to do with every place you go to and everyone you meet.

Everything has a reason for being. Things don't just happen "just because" believe it!

I will share now one of my favorite songs. It is a nasheed (song without instruments). I love the words, it is like a poem. A way to teach us how to be to others and the world around us. It is simply beautiful!

Yes, it talks about "al habib", prophet Mohammad, but not only about him, this applies to all of us, you do not have to be a prophet to be a good person and enjoy, celebrate this beautiful life!

[if you can't see the link, go to youtube and type "al habib" it's a purple/blue masjid, click on it, it's probably the first that lines up. I'll try to post lyrics too]
