God helps those who help themselves.
The best way to help yourself is to think positive and be optimistic.
Sounds cliched and dramatic?
No it isn't dramatic but yes it's a cliche.
And a cliche is a cliche because it has some truth to it, isn't it? :)
Ponder, Reflect, Implement and Change.
Din ki roshni par chaaye hue the gham ke baadal, Raat ke andheron si kaali thi jahaan mein maayoosi, Lamha lamha bechaini kiya karti thi mujhko ghaayal, Pal pal takleefein ubhar aati tez nukeeli talwaaron si. Kehte hain ummeed par duniya khaayam hai, Par sochne ki baat toh ye hai, Jab khaayam nahi ummeed toh kaise hogi duniya khaayam, Lekin sochne waali baat toh ye bhi hai, Ke ummeed chaahe khaayam ho na ho, Duniya toh sadaa hi rahegi khaayam, Kyunki ummeed ko khaayam insaan rakhta hai, Aur duniya ko khaayam khuda rakhta hai. Waakhif mai tab hui is baat ki haqeeqat se, Jab bawajood ummeed khaayam na hone ke, Din ki roshni par se hat gaye gham ke baadal, Na rahi ab woh raat ke andheron si kaali maayoosi, Har lamha bechaini ka badal gaya lamha-e-masarrath mein, Aur leliya rang gulon ka pal pal ki takleefon ne. Kabhi nahi socha tha maine, Ke is ibteda ki intehaa laayegi khushi ka paigaam, Par ye bhi toh laazmi nahi, Ke aaghaaz bura ho toh bura ho anjaam!!!
I put forward to all of you a question which may sound cliched but the answer to it is actually the truth of life that nobody can deny... Is luxury more important to you than emotional happiness??? Most of us will say 'no'... But I had read somewhere that "It is more comfortable to sit and cry in a mercedes than on a bicycle.".... After pondering over it for a while, I thought may be this was true...But this thought was momentary... After thinking about it for a little more time and after trying to imagine myself in various heart-breaking situations, I realised that this was not true....Infact I feel that crying on someone's shoulder,no matter whereever you are under the sky, is far more consoling than sitting all alone in a mercedes and crying wherein you are surrounded by all non living things though luxurious!!! May sound very dramatic but it's the truth.... Also, all the comforts and luxuries aggravate the pain and loneliness because you feel,"what is the use of all this magnificence and extravagance when you are all ALONE???".... We are humans and we have a heart which feels every emotion and money is not the thing that gives you true happiness....Although most of us say that luxury is what we desire, we cannot deny the fact that somewhere,in the deepest bottoms of our hearts, we long for that caring touch by our dad, the affectionate hug by our mom, the fights over silly issues with our siblings, the seemingly strict but protective nature of our brothers, the blessings of our elders, the happiness in our loved one's eyes on our success, the silent understanding shared with our friends, the feeling of joy when someone smiles because of us, the overwhelming feeling when we know that there is always someone there for you out there, the amazing feeling when your loved ones say 'i love you', the sweet gestures by people whom we don't even know, the words of consolation after a loss or disappointment, etc.... There is no way that any sort of luxury in this world can overpower the immeasurable happiness and emotional satisfaction that we derive from these small yet super powerful gestures.... Money comes and goes but feelings always remain no matter what.... But there are some exceptional people.....I really fail to understand the mind-set and thinking of those people who feel that they are done with their responsibilities by fulfilling the financial needs of their loved ones.... Is this the only thing that is of importance to them??? Don't they understand that feelings are also equally important??? All of this just goes over my head and I will never be able to understand this point of view no matter how many ever reasons are given to support it!!! There can never be a reason to justify it and I am absolutely sure of it!!! The only thing that I can do is pray that people with such a take towards life as mentioned above realise their foolishness and try to change for the better....IN SHA ALLAH... And for the rest of us, I would like to say "never change,try gathering a lot of happiness for yourself and for everyone around you from the small things in lifeand never ever get upset if you get a feeling that you are not leading a luxurious life because that is not the real treasure.".... Think positive, be optimistic and never let that cute smile go off your pretty face :-) :-) :-) Miljaaye gar koi hamein dil se chaahne waala, Aish-o-aaraam ki zindagi toh hum yun hi chod dein!!!
