Chasing the Fire

There are times in life when you are trying very hard for something and praying that God grant you what you desire .But no matter how far you go in your struggle,you do not get what you want.
Why are  my prayers are not  being answered? Am i not trying hard enough?why can not i get what I want?Am i doing something wrong?
All types of doubts fill our minds and make our hearts restless.
Once when randomly I was thinking about it, I saw a child constantly trying to touch the fire in the gas heater and his mom would tap his hand away and the child would cry in annoyance.
Watching this I smiled. This was the answer. When you want something ,you love it and desire it to be yours. However ,what you do not know at that point is that you might be asking for the fire.
And God knows better.God loves you 70 times more than your mother does so why would He hand you the fire?You may feel terrible at that moment but its for your own good. And that is something what you will learn as time passes. You will be rewarded with what is truly good for you and you will apreciate the wisdom of God at that time.
So at time of despair ,just hold on and know that God is taking care of you and everything will turn out to be okay. you just have to have  that faith and stick to it.

Becoming Who We Thought We Would Never Be...

When we are young we claim not to be so many things when we grow up;however,  time changes, things change , we change...Most interestingly, we become all that we thought, rather swore we would never become.
We believe we will be righteous all our lives but we lie,cheat and hurt people at some point or another,intentionaly or unintentionaly.

We believe that we will stay strong and never fall apart, but we all cave in, we all shatter down, we all die a little,we all cry in seclusion.

We believe we will.never fall for anyone, we will never give that control to anyone upon us, but we do fall for someone n let that person mean a world to us.

We believe we will never be like our elders but we all become replica of our mothers or fathers in the end.

As young people we claim to avoid so many things in life but we end up doing them, living them. Because deep down we all know we have the tendency to go that way and so wish we rather do not.

What we learn is, its okay to be weak at times, it is  okay to make mistakes,it is okay to be like normal people.
Perfection does not exist. It is not even required. Beauty is in imperfection, going down and then up and laughing at the mistakes of life later on.So live life like that and do not challenge yourself to become too perfect to be human:)

This is the Time.Do it Now!

Alot of people  have the urge to do good and "bring about the change" or work for betterment of people.Alot of young passionate people amongst us have that desire to work for humanity"when they grow up".but that is the question :when does that"growing up" time comes?what time it specify?when u are OLD and don't have energy ?
My point is not to discourage anyone .Yes ,we wish to have adequate resources before we start a welfare work but not everything requires money.

Volunteer, help where and when you can. Spend time with people who would need your attention. Believe me, sometime a person in pain only needs you to listen to them.

Teach to poor young children.even that is a sadaqa jariah.

Donate blood if you are healthy young person,the patients of blood diseases need it more than your money!

So you don't need to GROW UP to do what you want to do.Do it now when you are young energetic and full of ideas and have time and health.

Changes

Changes are horrible to think of.you get scared of thinking of the unknown.and nothing scares you more than the fear of the unknown.there are some which come all of a sudden and get us by surprise and others which are anticipated.these are the worse of the two.every moment of anticipation kills.you think you don't have what it takes,maybe you are not ready or it will shatter you.but to tell you the truth,the only scary part is the moment of impact.after that the "change" is gone.it.  becomes a part of you,your comfort zone.you move on with it.
And remember if you couldn't bear it, life would not bring you to it.you can definitely handle it.
