As long as you wake up in the morning, you are still in the game. As long as you’re breathing, you are still a fighter. Nothing can stop you from moving forward. Absolutely nothing.
Nicole Addison @thepowerwithin (via thepowerwithin)
I will do this. I will surpass my goals and keep going. I won’t give up on the worthwhile things. I will change what doesn’t work for me. I won’t stop until I’m ahead. I will balance achievement with self-care. I will push, rest, work, relax, and repeat. I will succeed.
I’ve thought about giving up. Funny how it’s always an option. The easiest one, even. I’ve thought about turning my back from the things that I wanted do just because I was scared of failing, of making mistakes, of disappointing. But I’ve thought about being stagnant, too. Because if I were to drop everything just because they scare me, even without trying at all, then I would never learn, I would never grow up. I would never be brave like a warrior. And for that I knew that if I insist on being confined in these squares, always stuck with what I already know, I knew I would always be a step short from becoming that version of myself whom I would be proud of; of becoming someone whom my five-year-old self would look up to, whom she’d consider her hero. And God knows I don’t want to fail her. So get out of bed, it’s a brand new day. Go on, for you have work to do.

“This book is designed for anyone who has some Korean vocabulary and is familiar with the basic grammar. It provides delightful and easy short stories rewritten in simple sentences and using carefully selected sets of basic vocabulary, without sacrificing original meanings.
I found the full version of this book for free! You can download it here or from the website here. I recommend buying it if it’s possible but if you can’t, here it is!
Sometimes when Allah takes away something you never expected losing, believe that He WILL replace it with something you never imagined you could have! Allah is the most Merciful!
Do good, as Allah has been good to you ❤
Quran - Surat Al Qasas
What is destined will reach you, even if it be beneath two mountains. What is not destined, will not reach you, even if it be between your two lips.
Imam al-Ghazali (rahimahullah)
Always remember that your present situation is not your final destination. The best is yet to come
Look what Allah says:
Holy Qur’an, ad-Duha 4: Assuredly, what comes after will be better for you than what has gone before.
Holy Qur’an, ad-Duha 5: And assuredly, He will increasingly grant you his favors one after another, and you will be contented.
Please trust Allah and keep being righteous
صبر
Patience has less to do with time, and more to do with enduring. However, it is not just to endure alone, but it is to endure with resilience. And that is the essence of Sabr.
비를 사랑한다고 하면서 우산을 핀다. 해빛을 사랑한다고 하면서 그늘진 자리를 찾는다. 바람을 사랑한다고 하면서 창문을 닫는다. 그래서 난 두렵다 나도 사랑한다고 하면서.
- 윌리엄 셰익스피어
I am tired. These people make me feel I have a hole in the middle of me.
D.H. Lawrence, from The Complete Works; “The Plumbed Serpent,” (via wethinkwedream)
people become cruel cause they aren’t healed from what hurt them, and they aren’t loving themselves right because of it and if you don’t love yourself right you’re bound to hurt the other people you love too. unhealed hurt makes you hurt others.

“While involved in social movements in Seoul, I lived a truly hectic life. After a while, I was so fed up that I went to India for my sabbatical to experience a slow-paced society. I expected that it would be a bit like 1970s Korea. But when I was there, waiting for one or two hours was nothing. One time I went to the bank and was waiting for four hours, but someone would just cut in line. So I lost my temper and said I have to take care of my business then and there, but the bank teller said, ‘Wait, wait, just wait! It’s simple!’ I told my Indian friend’s family about this experience and they said, ‘If you can’t do it today, you can do it tomorrow; if you can’t do it tomorrow, then you can do it the next day; if not this year, then next year; if not this life, then the next.’ That really left a deep impression. We usually say, 'I have to do it. I have to do it,’ but they say, 'It’s okay if it’s not now. It’s okay to be a little late.’ Through those words, they were caring for themselves. After spending a little time like that, I came to understand it well. 'What could be as simple as waiting? There are already so many difficult things in this world…’”
“서울에서 사회운동하면서 정말 너무 바쁘게 살았었어요. 그러다가 지쳐서 느린 사회를 체험한다고, 안식년을 맞아 인도에 갔어요. 마치 한국의 70년대 같지 않을까하고 기대하며 그곳에 갔죠. 가보니까 한 두시간 기다리는 건 일도 아닌 거예요. 한번은 은행에 가서 4시간을 기다리고 있는데, 누가 새치기를 하는 거예요.. 그래서 나도 욱해서 지금 바로 일 처리해야한다고 말하니까 은행원이 “Wait, wait, just wait. It’s simple!” 이라고 하는 거예요. 그 경험을 인도의 친구 가족한테 말하니까 그 사람들 또 하는 말이 ‘오늘 못 하면, 내일 하면 되고, 내일 못 하면 모레 하면 되고, 금년에 못 하면 내년에 하면 되고, 이 생에 못 하면 다음 생에 하면 되고’ 라는 하는 거예요. 그 점이 참 인상 깊었어요. 우리는 보통 “해야돼. 해야돼” 하지만, 그 사람들은 ‘지금 안 해도 돼. 조금 늦어도 괜찮아’ 하는 말로 마음을 보듬어 주고 있었죠. 조금 지나고보니 잘 알겠더라고요. ‘기다리는 것만큼 단순한게 어디있어? 이 세상에 어려운 게 얼마나 많은데…’ 하고요.”
