السلام عليكم ورحمة الله
As-salamu alikum wa rahmatullah
Do you struggle with finding inner peace? Do you see yourself as a fighter struggling all the time? You against the world?
How true is that?
Or is it a belief you’ve conjured up along the journey of life?
Often I used to find myself so caught up in finding the proofs against myself. Defending myself when I would hear others judging me. Then shaming myself for not being the image of perfection for them.
I didn’t realise that was not the world that was judging me.
It’s me!!!
I am judging myself and deflecting onto others. I was afraid of what they thought of me. Without realising I was stuck in my head. Trying to be someone I wasnt. my beliefs about me was wrong but how do I change that?
That’s where the problem was! I believed that what they were saying was true! But then what was really true? What was it I wasn’t seeing?
Interesting isn’t it? I didn’t see what Allah wanted me to see…
When I realised that I was blind at heart 💖; though I have been given my eyesight by Allah!
It was of no use to me, because I had forgotten that I needed to reach into the the truth within me.
I was leaving insight out of my life!
I was busy pleasing people…
Whom will never be pleased (expectations never cease in humans)
Whereas I should be pleasing my lord. My Allah.(in his unconditional love and mercy)
That journey was the most difficult. Because it meant I had to see me for who I am not who others want me to be.
That was transformation.
That’s where we find Allah.
Not outside in the midst of expectations and worldly chaos. But inside my heart where Allah resides…
Ali R.A said, ‘Indeed, the insightful one is he who listens and contemplates, looks and sees, derives benefit from lessons, then he takes a clear path on which he avoids the falls into abysses.
We need to be people of reflection and insight.
How will you transform your life and become the best version of yourself?
Indeed, Allah will not change the condition of a people until they change what is in themselves.
