Yes. Life has its ups and downs. And once we get to realize that, we keep getting notifications of that over and over again. We try to remember how life was a peaceful journey that's all play and laugh... but we just can't. Wanna try for a bit?
You can't.
Okay you can. But, remember the notifications? You can never rest and savour those moments once they come ringing your bell, huh?
*sigh*
Why am I saying this? Well, it's been a stressful first week of 2011 <
I've seen about three movies today that left me thinking... each main character had a goal to pursue in life, consequently achieving them, yet through a series of ups and downs. Mishaps, hurdles, barb wires... and what not.
There's no balance in life unless we understand to live with the road bumps that come in our way. You don't fight fire with fire. You don't act stupid when somebody's dying. There should be no complaints of putting up with someone who doesn't live with you for at least a couple of hours... the list goes on, dear readers.
Reaching the state of inner peace is such an amazing race. It was to me. And I'm still working on it.
If you really want people to like you, why not like them first? per se...
You know the saying: You can't give what you don't get?
Well, maybe that's wrong. I think it is. At least for most cases, it is, and with that I refer back to inner peace.
How do I find mine?
I basically prayed for it, and keep on doing so. I don't precisely say, "Allah, grant me inner peace." No. When you pray for your well-being, you're praying for inner peace. When you ask Allah for guidance, that's how you end up feeling good about yourself as a result of finding your way.
Why do we keep on worrying when we know that The King of Kings is always with us? Why do we feel insecure when He's always there for us?
I have faith in Allah's power over things, and His assistance and guidance... it's just, I can't get myself to stop worrying. It's not normal, when you say you're confident that Allah would put you through. I need to lower the level of my nervous system ^/////^ because it's just getting silly.
So, I have yet another thing to pray for...hope for...
A friend of mine on facebook asked through her status: Have you ever made du'aa to Allah and he has granted it for you? What is it?
To me, it was kinda absurd.... I replied: لا أحصي ثناء عليه
i.e. I can never count the blessings He's bestowed upon, Most Gracious, AlMighty...
I love Allah... and I love His prophet Muhammad peace be upon him...
We don't need yoga to find our inner strength, do we? It's a force that's intangible...
And I'm glad...
Keep your inner peace and strength if you've established one guys ^_^
Till next time,
Sparkle

Salam Habebiti,
Awwwwwwww finding one's balance is indeed a tricky thing, isn't it? I can always tell then me balance is getting off because the world starts to tilt and seem a little off----suddenly I remember to balance once again.
