Sometimes, one simple act of caring and kindness can have such an impact on another person at that moment, it completely changes the course of their life and blesses your life forever.

When you help someone who is lost and confused,
When you hold someone who is sad and grieving,
When you hug someone who is unhappy and hopeless;
You too will feel healed and whole.

Experiment: take twenty high school seniors and have them sit in a circle. Whisper a phrase into one ear and have each pass it on to the next, ear to ear, when it get back around to the first one the phrase uttered is not even remotely close to the original.

Result: we put such great stock into rumors, gossip and malicious talk that we hear, when in reality it is proven over and over again to be false......but we still believe it because we choose to!

Boxes are for stuff for things you want to keep,
you label the box and you know what's inside...
Unmovable.....unchangeable....unalerable...
every time you open that box you know for sure what you'll see.
Boxes are not for people, don't put people in "Boxes" and then label them....
Allow them to be free to change, to move,
to be altered by circumstances in life.
and if people have been labeled by others,
allow them second chances.
Specially if you care for them.

Seek always to do some good, somewhere.
Every man has to seek in his own way to realize his true worth.
You must give some time to your fellow man.
Even it's a little thing; do something for those who have need of a man's help, something for which you get not pay but privilege of doing it. For remember, you don't live in a world all your own. Your brothers live here, too."

The little plans I tried carry
Have. Failed
O' ALLAH ,
But, I will not sorrow
I will pause a little while
And try again tomorrow.
InshaALLAH (*_*)

Strong women face the daily trials of life, sometimes with a tear, but always with their heads held high as the new day dawns.
A strong women are sometimes beat down by life, but they still stand back up and step forward again.
Strong women are afraid. They face fear and move ahead to the future, as uncertain as it can be.
Strong women are not those who succeed the first time.
They are the ones who fail time again, but still keep trying until they succeed.

ALLAH gave you a gift of 86,400 seconds today.
Have you used one to say " THANK YOU"?

People come into our lives and walk with us a mile and then because of circumstances they only stay awhile.
They serve a need within the days that moves quickly by and then are gone beyond our reach. We often wonder why.
God only knows the reason that we meet and share a smile, why people come into our lives and walk with us a mile.

The people who make a difference in your life
are not the ones with the most credentials,
the most money, or the most awards.
They are the ones that care...

When you are in troubled and worried and sick at heart
and your plans are upset and your world falls apart,
Remember ALLAH's ready and waiting to share
The burden you find much to heavy to bear-
so with faith, " let go and let ALLAH" lead your way
Into a brighter and less troubled day".
