Brussels, Belgium, Center, 10 March 2019 When everything stops for a second. You stand still. You wonder what brought you here? Was it the right choice? When you thought finally things are about to settle, when things seemed to be matching perfectly, but then in blink of seconds your entire life changes rapidly unexpectedly. Fear and anxiety of the unknown is all what keeps hunting your thoughts. You wonder in the eyes of strangers, aiming to find a clear answer. Yet you believe in God’s timing. You believe in how things work when it’s time. No matter how bad we want it to happen. It will happen in the perfect timing. You only see meters in front of you while God… God always see the end of the road. Have faith!

Everything in life happens according to our time, our clock. You may look at your friends and some may seem to be ahead or behind you, but they are not, they are living according to the pace of their clock, so be patient. You are not falling behind, its just not your time.

As 2016 comes to a close, it is a perfect time to give back to the community and show your appreciation for those who have helped you throughout the past year.

I have been doing some reflections lately in my life and I came across many things that I've discovered and would like to share some of them with you.  We get stuck in labels . She is strong. He is funny. She is positive. You get my point. These labels manifest in our heads and we start believing that this is what you always need to project, this is how people see me and this is how I should always be. But this is not true. I am the strongest girl I know this month and the weakest one around the next. I have the cool sense of humor and the next day I can not get a joke.  We need to stop getting stuck in boxes. This causes us to put so much pressure on ourselves and it is unhealthy. Be whoever the hell you wake up wanting to be. No pressure. No label. Find a fixation . Find something that you can do, a car ride, a place you can sit, writing, drawing, dancing, yoga, singing in the shower. Find something that you can go to when everything else doesn't make sense (this h...

Life is all about stages and steps that we take in our life. For each stage there are hundreds of other steps and mountains that has to be taken, hiked, claimed or even walked now or later. For every mountain there is a test that we have to pass in order to reach to the edge of the mountain and have a clearer view and a full picture. We are all different and that's why, some of us take these steps slower because simply they can't hike the mountain all at once. Some need to take a break in between, in order to recharge energy again. And some can take it all at one shot. But at the end of the day, we all aim for the same purpose in a way or another.

I think it's great how a lot of young people, in my generation, are not scared of being alone anymore. I used to dread the idea of traveling alone. I would look at people eating by themselves in restaurants and feel bad for them. As I grew older, I realized that treating yourself to a nice meal alone doesn't necessarily mean you're lonely. Packing your bags and moving to a new place doesn't mean you don't like being around people. We grew up in a society that taught us that socializing is what gives us purpose and that the more people you know, the happier you will be. I realized, however, that in order to be at peace with yourself, you must learn to enjoy your own company. When you no longer feel the need to always be among a large group of people and to fake interactions just to fit in, that is when you will truly be happy.

”ليس هناك شىء يسمى الحرية، و أكثرنا حرية هو عبد للمبادىء التى يؤمن بها، وللغرض الذى يسعى إليه.. اننا نطالب بالحرية لنضعها فى خدمة أغراضنا.. وقبل أن تطالب بحريتك إسئل نفسك: لأى غرض ستهبه؟!“ ― إحسان عبد القدوس

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...

A year ago everything was different. I wouldn't have pictured myself like this and now that I look back, I have realized that a year can do a lot to a person.  So, in the end it is not the years in your life that count, it is the life in your years that count in order to have a life worth living. It is the pursuit of a memorable life!

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...

It's funny but truly sad... how things that we actually thought we knew very well.. can turn all over in blink of seconds... in a heart beat.. and fly far away into directions that we never could have ever imagined... and yet here it comes... at the end... final destination... after all these long years... these years that saw tremendous excitements.. life changing experiences... stories and more stories... true love... all laughers... all cries... and I'm forever   utterly  thankful for all of that...  yet here it comes again... I am the storyteller... This is where everything in life actually starts... Once upon a time... there was a storyteller who told the forgotten stories of distant faces , broken objects and abandoned places for the storyteller knew that words are like magic and would bring everything back to life.. . would it?

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...

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.
