1 " But I do strongly believe that sometimes God is more interested in seeing a change in us, than a change in our situation. So rather than turning our circumstances around, He may prolong it to see if we've got what it takes to change our ways; to grow, to improve. and to mature into the person He's destined you to become. "
― Mizi Wahid , The Art of Letting God
2 " Hardships can humble you, but it cannot break you unless you let it. "
3 " But 'easy' will not give us the things and experiences that we will treasure and cherish for the rest of our lives. Greatness doesn't always come out from easy circumstances and events. One thing we can expect through difficulty and perseverance is that we will grow. And when we do, the struggles, the failures, and the challenges will suddenly, become "easy". "
4 " If you want to have peace in your life, you can't have too many rules. "
5 " Most prominently, that the events that happen to us don't get to decide when our story is over. God does. And for as long as we continue to be blessed with the gifts of life, a sound mind, and the ability to make a difference, we must continue to choose hope over fear, belief over doubt, and effort over despair. "
6 " Each day, you're one step closer to living your best day yet. Seize every opportunity. The timing is right, and the conditions are in order. Something amazing is about to happen in your life. Don't let anybody tell you you're not good enough. Don't let them tell you you're too young, or too old. Don't let anybody tell you that you're finished. Every day that you wake up in the morning, it's a sign - the best is yet to come. "
7 " Never expect people to be perfect - expect the best, but never perfection. "
8 " Surrendering is:1. Releasing and letting go - of the past that's been holding you back2. Trusting Allah - to bring you through what He's brought you to3. Not letting things be, without first taking focused and faithful action "
9 " It sounds weird to be grateful for things that don't turn out the way you want them to. But I realised that there were many blessings that I'm grateful for today which I wouldn't have had if I did not have to make a few u-turns and detours along the way. "
10 " Believe that nothing just happens. Instead, everything happens for a good reason. And everything happens for you, not against you. "
11 " When some people have only negative things to consistently say about you, it may be more of a reflection of their world view than about who you truly are. "
12 " What they wish to perceive from the negative is certainly not something we can withhold, but it is indeed something we can refuse to receive. Allowing other people's judgments to affect us psychologically and emotionally is essentially our choice. "
13 " One of the things I've learned to accept in my life is that some people need to be loved from distance...Loving from a distance means that we continuously remember them in our prayers, and proving that we genuinely still care for them. We do this by asking about them or by paying them a visit when we hear something unfortunate had happened to them or their loved ones. "
14 " First of all, I've always maintained that we can never truly change people. Even in the Islamic belief, hidayah or guidance comes only from God. We do our part to educate, to inform, to encourage, but the end result is surrendered entirely for God to decide. "
15 " You can't learn how to love without disappointments. You can't learn gratitude without loss. You can't appreciate abundance without lack. And you can't learn to value companionship without lonely nights. "
16 " So let go, and let God. Experience genuine peace in your life when you learn how to love in moderation, fear within limits, and hate within reason. "
17 " The need to know the full and exact reason as to why somebody did something to you is not a prerequisite to your forgiveness. "
18 " Your forgiveness for another person's wrongful actions does not make them right, or free them from the need to be accountable. "
19 " Forgiveness doesn't mean that you agree with the other person. It doesn't necessarily mean that they are right either. It simply means that we have too many things in front of us, to allow things that are behind us to hold us back. "
20 " This is the time you draw a line on the sand and say, "All the negativity ends here." Start seeing a new horizon. Start believing in greater possibilities. And know that Go is by your side, listening to every prayer you make to Him. "
