“But sometimes you simply can't make yourself feel like acting. And in those situations, motivational advice risks making things worse, by surreptitiously strengthening your belief that you need to feel motivated before you act. By encouraging an attachment to a particular emotional state, it actually inserts an additional hurdle between you and your goal. The subtext is that if you can't make yourself feel excited and pleased about getting down to work, then you can't get down to work.”

“إذا استغنى الناس بالدنيا فاستغني انت بالله , وإذا فرحوا بالدنيا فافرح أنت بالله , وإذا أنسوا بأحبابهم , فاجعل انسك بالله , وإذا تعرفوا إلى ملوكهم وكبرائهم , وتقربوا إليهم , لينالوا بهم العزه والرفعه , فتعرف انت إلى الله , وتودد إليه , تنل بذالك غاية العزه والرفعه ..”

“Sometimes the most valuable of all talents is to be able not to seek resolution; to notice the craving for completeness or certainty or comfort, and not to feel compelled to follow where it leads.”

“The many contradictions in our lives – such as being home while feeling homeless, being busy while feeling bored, being popular while feeling lonely, being believers while feeling many doubts – can frustrate, irritate, and even discourage us. They make us feel that we are never fully present. Every door that opens for us makes us see how many more doors are closed.
But there is another response. These same contradictions can bring us into touch with a deeper longing, for the fulfillment of a desire that lives beneath all desires and that only God can satisfy. Contradictions, thus understood, create the friction that can help us move toward God.”
