Free yourself & start flying

“You were born with potential. You were born with goodness and trust. You were born with ideals and dreams. You were born with greatness. You were born with wings. You are not meant for crawling, so don’t. You have wings. Learn to use them and fly.” Rumi – 

I agree… What do you think? 

Visit the mountains from time to time… Let your soul vanish and fly in between what the eyes alone can not see… Be you within yourself let go of all fear and burdens, let go of whatever is holding you back from flying… Free yourself let yourself be as free as it was born & created let it all be within the Divine trust in the higher power let go of your tiny possessions…  

   

Letting go of perfection & joining the most imperfect life. 

Today i want to let go of my love for perfection 

For what is perfection without imperfection? 
Imperfection is what completes perfection. It is the natural cherry on top of everything made to perfection. 
It is the signature, the uniqueness, the spontaneous & the unexpected. 
I invite you to join me into letting go of trying too hard to make things look perfect, be perfect or even close to perfection. 
I used to say am a perfectionist, today I choose to let go of this saying and instead, I want to say am natural. 
I want to dance through life not worrying about tripping because when I trip, I want to see it as only part of my life’s unique choreography. 
I want to stop trying & instead start doing without having to worry about the steps I take or the outcome of things. 
I want to be certain that whatever step I take is the most natural and therefore resulting in the way it naturally will come out to be. 
I want to quit thinking of the best way to do things and the best way to create things for no matter how much I try, I will always remain to be an instrument to a higher power that is the real creator to things. 
I want to enjoy my freedom of thoughts & instincts and trust that what I was given of thoughts & feelings are the best instruments given to me for me to use to create my piece. 
And I want my piece to be imperfect. Natural and unique. I want it to be called my piece of Art. And what is art, if there is nothing so imperfect to look in to? What we see as beautiful is always done so imperfectly that we end up falling in love with. For when we look at an art piece that is perfect it is the most boring and repetitive piece we see. 
I no longer want a perfect mate, i want an imperfect mate to be imperfect with. I want to be natural. I want to be as humble and as blessed as I can be. I want to be so busy living my every move instead of being busy trying to make the right move to reach my perfect looking future. 
I do not want a perfect future. It is too tiering and too much of a waste of life. I want an imperfect future. I want a natural future. The future I am going to get at anyway, no difference can be made to the approach I take to reach it except my mind. 
I either worry the hell out of my way to get there or I simply dance which ever way my body sways and I will always arrive to the very same place. 
The only difference is my journey. I will either have a rough journey trying to be perfect or I will love the moments I trip and fall for they are the most unique beat to my song. 
So let us be natural. However imperfect that is, let us enjoy that very cherry on top. Let us laugh out and feel so lucky when we notice how imperfect we have done things. Let us be appreciative, for we were given is this imperfect life.  

  

 

If I want to get an image of a tattoo engraved into my body…

If I want to get an image of a tattoo engraved into my body, I will choose the image of water. That is an image of nothing but movement with a peaceful sound. I choose water to remind me of purity, my real reflection before mixing it with anything else, because water never stops moving until it is mixed with solid and dirt. I choose water to remind me of clarity and transparency, because water is always crystal clear and transparent until it is mixed with solid and dirt. I choose water to remind me of freshness, my peace of mind before allowing all thoughts to enter like solid and dirt. I choose water to remind me of satisfaction, my real self before allowing thirst and desire to enter like solid and dirt. I choose water because it reminds me that I was once born just like water, and I can always be reminded by my pure existence, I choose water to remember how to deal with others around me, to be just like water, a pure reflection with soft movement and a peaceful sound. I choose water because it is what I like to remind myself with every minute of my being, to remember to be like water; before I think, I speak or I act, and this is the tattoo I would like to engrave into my body only it has no image and it never stops moving and will always have a graceful sound.

Tell your story, and I’ll tell mine. 

We create the stories we want to tell about our own lives. Who we loved, who we lived with, what we failed to achieve, our success stories, our friends, people who left foot prints, people who we choose to cut loose from our lives, people who we inspired, people who inspired us… We choose pieces from our lives to stick up upon the wall or just over the ground or maybe in our backyard or in the trash… We choose what to remember, what to be affected by, what to speak of and share and what to completely disregard as it ever happening. But what ever happened in our past is what made us who we are today… So step up & be proud. Learn that without those pieces in your life you would not be where you are today, learn that better things are coming your way, learn that those around can benefit from your experience, learn that by giving you will only be rewarded. So live life with true honest and love. Cherish the good moments & the hard. Let this world come into you like a little baby entering the arms of a loving mother. Not knowing what to expect but certain to be protected & given the best there is that she can offer to give.  

 

See the gifts that are placed in life for you. 

Today there are gifts everywhere. They were all set up for you. Around. Some are near by, some are far. But they are all there and will appear as you live your day. So look forward. And look closer. Live today fully, and be open to receive all gifts. Be grateful at every find. Cherish each one. Feel special. Feel blessed. Today, don’t miss on opening each gift. You will know it is a gift for you from your instincts. Just listen to your heart & follow. 🎁 and enjoy being gifted yourself, and be aware that you are a gift to those you stumble upon, so be kind, be memorable & leave positive foot prints.  

 

If I had a plan…. 

I believe that God has a plan. A plan that is much better than your plan, my plan and their plan. He has a plan for every plan we make. He has the master plan. If i was you, i would not worry. I would focus on my goal and take honest steps with a heart that knows God is watching over me, protecting me & guiding me. I would listen to only my heart, my gut, my instincts. I would not worry to take the wrong decision, step or choice. Because i believe & i know that God has the bigger plan. And that with my pure heart, clear vision, and honest steps i take, God will always be there watching me, helping me. And eventually, with my patience, my persistence & good will, God will help put the right pieces in the right place for me. 💙  

 

Listen to the music of life… 

Sometimes life gives us no option but to search for a new option, or stop searching at all… Or maybe just look deep inside again, into our lives today. We find pleasure in chasing something so hard, not knowing if it is truly what is good for us at all. What we think, changes. And what we feel, can be misunderstood. Life has the answers for us at the right time, and when life gives you no option, then there is a reason behind it. So stop trying to force things to happen & instead just listen to the music of life. Learn to be patient, & enjoy the music of life.

Do you have a Titanium in you? هل انت جبار؟ و ما معنى الجبار

The Powerful, Compeller, Titan “Al Jabar”: Which in Arabic stands for unbreakable, and to help things grow stronger and better through oppression “What doesn’t kill you, only makes you stronger”. Like your bones are compelled against breakage. And to overpower the poor to help him enrich. Al Jabar also stands for greatness. And Al Jabar derives from the Divine for nothing is made impossible and everything is made possible. And through being oppressed we learn, and after oppression we gain appreciation. And a titanium heart is a heart that finds happiness even in hardship. And it is a compliment for a person who is known for being Jabar, but from the Divine type of Jabar, a Jabar over himself. A Jabar for not being evil and harmful,  who is against wrongdoing, harming and selfishness. This type of Jabar is proud, proud to only want to be from the Divine type of Jabar, overpowered against all evil doings, and only doing what is Divine, good. “Self expression inspired by the name Al Jabar from the 99 names of God in Islam.”

الجبار: اللغة تقول : الجبر ضد الكسر ، واصلاح الشىء بنوع من القهر ، يقال جبر العظم من الكسر ، وجبرت الفقير أى أغنيته ، كما أن الجبار فى اللغة هو العالى العظيم
والجبار فى حق الله تعالى هو الذى تنفذ مشيئته على سبيل الإجبار فى كل أحد ، ولا تنفذ قيه مشيئة أحد ، ويظهر أحكامه قهرا ، ولا يخرج أحد عن قبضة تقديره ، وليس ذلك إلا لله ، وجاء فى حديث الإمام على ( جبار القلوب على فطرتها شقيها وسعيدها ) أى أنه أجبر القلوب شقيها وسعيدها على ما فطرها عليه من معرفته ، وقد تطلق كلمة الجبار على العبد مدحا له وذلك هو العبد المحبوب لله ، الذى يكون جبارا على نفسه ..جبارا على الشيطان .. محترسا من العصيان
والجبار هو المتكبر ، والتكبر فى حق الله وصف محمود ، وفى حق العباد وصف مذموم

A little bit more on the meaning of Beloved… و ما معنى العزيز ؟

al-Aziz in Arabic stands for the Beloved, which also comes from and means strength, intensity, success, greatness, and to refrain. And it also comes from reinforcement which means to strengthen. And the Beloved comes from the Divine and so it is one of the names of God in Islam. And it is very rare to find, and the need for it only exceeds, and it is not so easy to reach to and feel connected to; and those three combined is what “Beloved” means. To take for example the Sun, there is nothing to be compared to the sun, the benefits of the sun is remarkable, and the need for the sun is severe, but it can not described as the Beloved, for it is not so hard to find. “From the 99 names of God in Islam”

العزيز: العز فى اللغة هو القوة والشدة والغلبة والرفعة و الأمتناع ، والتعزيز هو التقوية ، والعزيز اسم من أسماء الله الحسنى هو الخطير ،( الذى يقل وجود مثله . وتشتد الحاجة اليه . ويصعب الوصول اليه ) وإذا لم تجتمع هذه المعانى الثلاث لم يطلق عليه اسم العزيز ، كالشمس : لا نظير لها .. والنفع منها عظيم والحاجة شديدة اليها ولكن لا توصف بالعزة لأنه لا يصعب الوصول الي مشاهدتها . وفى قوله تعالى ( ولله العزة ولرسوله وللمؤمنين ولكن المنافقين لا يعلمون ) فالعزة هنا لله تحقيقا ، ولرسوله فضلا ، وللمؤمنين ببركة إيمانهم برسول الله عليه الصلاة والسلام
