That was yesterday, today is another day alhamdulillah. Another blank canvas to paint as we wish. Hearts are in Allah's hands, but we have a choice to remain content with whatever Allah has decreed for us, yeah it kills at times...But blah....that's the name of the game, wouldnt be a test if it wasnt for diffculties huh?
Thinking back, I'm wondering how I would have reminded myself...And I think I wudda told myself this:
Did you know that an eagle knows when a storm is approaching long before it breaks? The eagle will fly to some high spot and wait for the winds to come. When the storm hits, it sets its wings so that the wind will pick it up and lift it above the storm. While the storm rages below, the eagle is soaring above it.
The eagle does not escape the storm. It simply uses the storm to lift it higher. It rises on the winds that bring the storm.
When the storms of life come upon us - and all of us will experience them - we can rise above them by setting our minds and our belief towards Allah. The storms do not have to overcome us. We can seek Allah's power to lift us above them.
Allah enables us to ride the winds of the storm that bring sickness, tragedy, failure and disappointment in our lives. We can soar above the storm.
Remember, it is not the burdens of life that weigh us down, it is how we handle them.
And this:
Any mental or physical pain....
is just a weakness leaving our body...to make us stronger & prepare us to face any tough task that is waiting for us in the near future.
I've found, the ones that have been through much in their own lives, begin to see the world in a different way. Compassion, understanding, love, and forgiveness can be found more readily in these individuals. The kindest people I know are the ones who have suffered much in life. Perhaps because they realize how tenuous and fragile life truly is.
