“Life is not just about the good things or not just about the bad things. It is both. It all depends where you focus your attention.”
― Ann Marie Aguilar

“New Beginnings are often disguised as painful endings.”
― Lao Tzu

“It’s easy to minimize a person’s hurt without understanding the nature of pain. People often like to categorize how much a person should or shouldn’t hurt about things. For example, when someone is upset about something, they say, “At least you’re not paralyzed, or starving in Africa.” While it’s imperative to be grateful for what we have, I think people often mistaken the nature of pain, when they ‘categorize’ in this way. The criteria for how much something hurts is not dependent on the thing itself. It is dependent on 2 things:
1. The strength of the attachment.
2. The level of Divine help.
Therefore to minimize the devastation of pain:
1. Don’t be attached to (dependent on) temporary things.
2. Seek Divine help.
And don’t assign judgement for people’s pain.”
― Yasmin Mogahed

“When my prayers are answered, I am happy because it was my wish. When my prayers are not answered, I am even more happy because that was gods wish.”
― Ali Ibn Abi Talib RA
