“If you are doing good to please people then you will get demotivated if you didn’t get appreciated but if you are doing good for the sake of Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala then you will never get demotivated or get tired.”

“Sensitive people should be treasured. They love deeply and think deeply about life. They are loyal, honest, and true. The simple things often mean the most to them. They don’t need to change or harden. Their purity makes them who they are.”

— Kristen Butler

“She practices being herself every day. Having to shed the layers of other identities took time. She even lost friendships. She couldn’t fill their egos anymore. When you focus on yourself, and love yourself, some relationships have to go.”

— Adrian Michael

Honestly what keeps me going is the fact that I strongly believe that if you work hard enough at something for long enough you’ll get the results you want, there’s no secret, sometimes it’s hard but you’ve just got to keep telling yourself that and watch yourself succeed.

“Hajar (as) didn’t give up. Or lose hope. She ran the same course, seven times before her opening came.”

“I know you think you love him, I know he isn’t “all bad,” and I am sure he can be nice too, and I know he said he loves you and wants to marry you… I know he apologises (sometimes) and makes du'a for you, and says he will be your teacher in the Deen….I know that he said you are beautiful, and I know that he promises a lifestyle of love and happiness…. But all that “love” simply isn’t enough my dear sisters. This love will fail you, it’s going to smash and darken your heart, it’s going to control you, twist you, and bend you until you no longer break, you just melt beneath his feet. You belong to Allah - as such - you deserve to be treated with dignity, kindness, respect, patience, and generosity. Never let anyone make you believe you are “lucky” for them to choose you. You choose you first, then YOU get to choose - not just be chosen - you have to choose too, and make a decision you are indeed worthy of making. Talk to your friends, show someone you really really trust with your heart, your Iman, your akhirah, and your precious life - and tell them what is going on, and listen to what they say before you say yes. Just ….slow….down….and….breathe.”

“The most important lesson I’ve learned about life is that pain is temporary and that hope is the most powerful weapon we have.”

“I’ve learned that you can keep going long after you can’t. That we are responsible for what we do, no matter how we feel.”

Your relationship with yourself sets the tone for every other relationship you have.

الصبر

I cried an ocean of tears but nobody cared. I cried in Sujūd and Allāh gave me Sabr.

Treat your parents well and avoid hurting their feelings, especially when they get old and short-tempered. Do it without anger or frustration.

[studynapz]

let 2018 be the year to be selfish, a year to invest your time and energy into yourself

to improve yourself mentally and physically

to mind your mind and leave anyone or anything who doesn’t contribute positivity to your life behind

to set goals and to spend the year doing what you can to achieve them

to stay focused and work hard 

and most importantly, 2018 is a year to be spent loving and appreciating yourself

You could give some people a drop of water, and they’d still appreciate you. You could give other people the entire ocean, and they’d still take you for granted.

I learned that people leave. Even if they have promised a thousand times that they won’t.

It hurts. (via written-on-polaroids)

W.E.B. Dubois on Earning One’s Privilege: His Magnificent Letter of Advice to His Teenage Daughter

“Be honest, frank and fearless and get some grasp of the real values of life… Read some good, heavy, serious books just for discipline: Take yourself in hand and master yourself.”

salah satu surat tebaik yang pernah kubacaa… kalo kamu anak perempuan bacalah ini, barangkali mewakili apa yg sebenarnya ayahmu ingin katakan

“Above all remember: your father loves you and believes in you and expects you to be a wonderful woman.”
