1. Always focus on what you want rather than what you don’t want: The mistake that most of us make when having a problem is to talk about it over and over again instead of focusing on the end result, instead of focusing on what we want to achieve.
2. Know that every problem comes with a lesson: There is always a lesson in everything that happens to us, and we should constantly look for what that lesson is and master it.
3. Don’t believe everything you think: Our problems aren’t as big as the mind is trying to convince us, and if you choose to believe every negative though that goes through your mind, you will always get in trouble. Observe your mind, observe your thoughts, but don’t identify yourself with them. Go beyond them.
4. Choose to express your gratitude for everything that happens to you, whether good or bad, and also for every person you interact with: The more you choose to express your gratitude, the more reasons you will have to express your gratitude for, and when you’re too busy focusing on the many things that you are grateful for, there will be no more room left for stress and worry.
5. Know that there is a reason for everything: Everything that happens to you, happens for a reason and every person that enters your life enters for a reason, and it’s your responsibility to act upon this knowing and not to label them as being good or bad, negative or positive, etc.
6. Let go of your need for perfection: When you try to do everything perfect, you will meet with stress and frustration – as it’s impossible to be perfect in everything you do.
7. Let go of your resistance: Accept things as they are without you trying to change them, without trying to fight against them. Go with the flow, and know that life wasn’t meant to be a struggle all the time.
8. Learn to be present in everything you do: When you become present and really engaged in the now, your whole life will become so much easier.

Out of curiosity, he takes a peek. Out of modesty, she looks away. Two in love but cannot say. She has been saving herself for the one and only. And in her eyes he can see innocence and purity. Out of this, his desire grows, the fire in him almost shows. He keeps his distance, stays far away, He wouldn’t want what is bad for the one who took his breath away. Late at night the door bell rings, Her heart beats loud and her soul sings. The talking below, she hears. So clear in her mother’s eyes. She can see a tear. He has finally come to take her away. He will protect her and treat her well like a real man should. She would try to love him, please him, And care for him as best as she could. This is love and how it should be. How Allah intended it to be. Love is love and it shouldn’t change. But everyday its meaning seems to fade away. Love is sweet and should have an innocent start. And later on, it will pour endlessly from your heart. Guard your heart, love, body, and soul. And In Shaa Allah release them only to the one, Whose name is written in the sky, Beside yours! @workforjannah _________________________________________________ For more posts like this follow @workforjannah ❤️
