How to evaluate what to hold on to & what is about time to let go of?

In life, we face the days that we can’t remember because they went by so quick, and the days that we will always remember because they truly carved in. Sadness & happiness are feelings that leave marks in us. They make us and create us and change us. We hold on to what carves into us, but some of us hold on too tight for too long that turn it into an attachment. Attachments become painful to let go, and therefore start to harm us.
By learning to accept; things be as they come, time frame is as is, not trying to control or change things but instead change within and be part of any process. Faith is all there is, we have been brought to life to experience, to learn and to grow, to expand and to change, nothing is the result of anything except what we wish to hold on to. Evaluate your life, yourself from time to time, and let go of what you have held on to for too long; that has not been serving you.

As Rumi once said:

“No matter what plans you make, no matter what you acquire, the thief will enter where you least expect. Be occupied, then, with what you really value and let the thief take something less. When a trader’s bales fall into the water, he’ll try to grab the most valuable things. Some things will certainly be lost as the water of life flows away. Let go of the cheap stuff and work to save what’s really important. Mathnawi II 1505-1509”

Motive of the day: Believe in the light of hope that exists in all of us even in the darkest nights, the light can be found.

Marry-go-round

We sometimes don’t know what is going to happen, we care when the situation is so dear to us. We sometimes look for things or people to blame, we sometimes wish the world would end, we sometimes begin to see the world turn from bright light to dark night. In each of us; the light of hope exists. To each of us; is the choice to lightening it up, even if it starts with a very light light. This hope is there for us to choose to use, but not to abuse. It is for us to learn how it works & how to let it shine bright. Nothing comes easily, and specially not the good things in life. Some of us were lucky enough to start a life full of bright light but it is only to those who are grateful that this light might stay all bright. But to the most of us that take it for granted, this light will for sure hide. Those of us who have never believed in the hope light in us then we begin to see life as a misery, and those who were aware of their lucky start to a bright light will be certain to find that light again. This is the jolly of being aware of your existing luck, existing good, existing light that has been taken for granted because it was given all along. And taking anything for granted will take away the joy of it. And what is it like to live like a king but not feel it? Or live in love but not appreciate it? Life is magical, because the light exists in all of us, we just have to be aware of it, use it while it is there shinning for us, and look for it once it goes hiding from us. Those who were born with no bright light are also lucky if they believe it exists and go in search of it, because once it is found they will grasp tight to it. The beauty of life is being present, aware, appreciating, giving, loving & defiantly being very grateful in both bright times & darkness. Embrace your life, your light and the magical power of faith.

وَلَنَبْلُوَنَّكُمْ حَتَّىٰ نَعْلَمَ الْمُجَاهِدِينَ مِنكُمْ وَالصَّابِرِينَ وَنَبْلُوَ أَخْبَارَكُمْ [Muhammad : 31]

In tune with your yourself, filling yourself with love, this is when nothing can distract you.

If you are in tune with yourself, if you are so well self-connected and self-contained with pure serenity and happiness, filling yourself with love and admiration, feeling spiritually connected in a rhythm, this is when nothing can distract you or take away your essence of tuning.

The moon just keeps shinning

On a moonlight night what does the moon in the mansion of stars care for the dogs and their barking?

The dog is doing his job; the moon is smoothly fulfilling her task by means of her bright countenance.

Does the dog’s barking ever reach the moon’s ear, especially that moon divinely appointed?

The king drinks wine on the bank of the stream till dawn, and enthralled in the music is unaware of the croaking of frogs.
