When your turn finally comes, you’ll see why the delay was inevitable; why you had to wait. Remember, you can’t grow into a butterfly overnight, there is a process attached to it. Embrace every part of it because the process teaches us some valuable life lessons!

We all matter
You exist not by chance but by the will of an All-loving Creator.
Without you there would be a hole in the tapestry of Allah’s (God’s) creation. Without you there would be a missing piece in the puzzle.
So don’t ever think that you don’t matter. Allah created you & therefore you matter.
Shaykh Azhar Nasser (Twitter)
Everything and everyone will change
If you’re unhappy with the never-ending change and instability in your life, know that everything and everyone will always change.
God is the only constant. Focus your attention on Him alone.

It’s always a win-win
If Allah [God] delays His answer, He is increasing your patience. If Allah answers your duas [supplications], He is increasing your Faith. If He doesn’t answer, Allah has something better in store for you.

Live in contentment
Whoever among you wakes up in the morning and is safe in his home, in good health, and has enough provision for the day, it is as if he has all the good things of this world.
Prophet Muhammad (PBUH)
Appreciation and gratitude

Putting across gratitude will give you more happiness, better health, stronger relationships, and better efficiency.

Difficulties and anxiety
Do not let your difficulties fill you with anxiety. After all, it is only in the darkest nights that the stars shine more brilliantly.
Ali Ibn Abi Talib (RA)
Contentment and good deeds
Richness is not having many belongings, but richness is contentment of the soul.
Prophet Muhammad (PBUH)
God does not look at your forms and possessions but He looks at your hearts and deeds.
Prophet Muhammad (PBUH)
A ray of light through layers of darkness
Sometimes you might feel like Prophet Yunus [Jonah]; isolated from the world and enveloped in layers of darkness. But in those moments you need to respond like Yunus and remember that Allah [God] is with you and a single ray of His light can obliterate all the darkness.

A change in mindset
Are you finding it hard to move ahead in your journey? Quit overthinking, quit replaying failed scenarios, quit negative thinking and start seeing the good and positive side to things. It’s amazing what a change in mindset can do for you. Try it and you won’t look back.
