Recipe For a Good Life

Muhammad Ali’s story meant a lot for me - beyond the boxing he spent a lifetime preparing to meet God, and was dedicated to a path of Tassawuf, to the inward path of Love. He believed that the secret of God is revealed through the knowledge of Love. Ali strived to become a truly beautiful human being; following the Tassawuf wisdom that ‘The outer beauty of a person must merge with the inner beaut y and become one. This is the source of true beauty.’ He was most certainly such a human being, and was once asked: “What would you like people to think about you when you’re gone?”. He responded that he would like people to say: ‘He took a few cups of love. He took one table spoon of patience. One table spoon, tea-spoon of generosity. One pint of kindness. He took one quart of laughter. One pinch of concern. And then he mixed willingness with happiness. He added lots of faith. And he stirred it up well. Then he spread it over a span of a lifetime. And he served it to each and every deservi...

I must accept the blessings of today

I need to live out all the blessings that God has given me today. Blessings cannot be saved for a rainy day. There is no bank with a safe deposit box for them. If I do not enjoy these blessings today, I lose them forever. Whatever I have done or might do in the course of my life, whether it's good or evil, has been done freely; I am a free agent. My success and my misfortunes, the bright and the dark days I have gone through, everything has proved to me that in this world, either physical or moral, good comes out of evil just as well as evil comes out of good. God knows that we are artists of life. One day He gives us a chisel, another we may receive brushes and a canvas, and still another day He gives us a pen to write. I am bound to add that the excess in too little has ever proved in me more dangerous than the excess in too much; the last may cause indigestion, but the first causes death. I know that I have lived because I have felt, and, feeling giving me the know...

The unexpected 10th - Last minute package

As random as it can get.. She had the most random thing that can happen to her since a long time and she can't grasp the idea how it even could happen. It's not her usual attitude towards life... On one of those normal days, it's almost noon, just few hours before the weekend to finally start. That one young lady had a very long busy week and it's almost coming to an end. Yet there are still some errands that still need to be done. It's a sunny and warm day. The Skye is purely clear blue and the metro is less crowded just few hours before the rush hour.  She wanted to make this mission during early April and some reasons she forgot and life hectic took over. She is about to miss the deadline.  But she seems she didn't care much. However the nearer we get to the day of the deadline she freaks out, it might be her only last chance so thought she, neither can’t she figure out what can be done next if that plan didn’t verve as it’s planed. She is running la...

Alles was ich mir wünschte, nur ein Zeichen von Gott

Als ob Gott mir was zeigen will.. Und wer hätte es gedacht.. Ich habe es selbst entdeckt.. Aber vielleicht stimmt es auch nicht… Aber wer weiß... Ich dachte du seist hallt anders…  doch war ich Falsch... Wie jeder bist du.  Richtig getroffen hab ich auch. Aber sollte es sich nicht anders enden? Es sollte sich anders enden dachte ich mir. Die Geschichte ist noch nicht zu Ende…  Wir sind doch noch ganz beim Anfang… Bin gespannt wie wird es sich Enden…  Wird sich überhaupt? Ich sehe Gods Spuren überall.  Ich Merke er will mir was starkes sagen… vielleicht auch Zeigen. Ich verstehe es noch immer nicht… Es steckt sich was dahinten. Aber dass werden wir bis dahin, hinkriegen.

Why can’t we just be out of the box?

Why should we be always another copy version of another human being? Is it because the book is saying so? According to which book are we following? Traditions? Prescriptions? Perspectives? Culture? Society? Habits? Or what the people would say? Are we supposed to pursue things that were mentioned in the 16 th , 17 th or even the 20 th century, because this is how our great great grandparents were brought up on to or use to do it in that specific way? Why do I have to follow things blindly? If this is how the world is all about, then I’m definitely in the wrong universe and should certainly rest my case. I’m neither against traditions nor against our grandparent’s perspectives… But we are today in the 21 st century… things have changed; Technology and Science have developed a lot and quickly... even art is changing daily. If you happen to be a believer; God gave us a mind to think with, to create, innovate, to be creative, to discover sc...
