If you don't understand what’s going on in your life, don't get discouraged or frustrated. The Almighty knows what we don’t. He never promised that everything would make sense, but He did promise that you would be ok in the end! Just trust Him.

'We are not our brother’s keeper we are our brother and we are our sister. We must look past complexion and see community.' #MayaAngelou

Remember that your struggles always lead to strength. Every difficulty in your life, whether big or small, will produce more strength, faith and perseverance in you. All the pain that you endured has a purpose. Don't give up. Keep moving.

When you fail at something, it’s a test from the Almighty. It need not stop you. If you don’t succeed, try again. The biggest mistake is to give up. He’s watching to see how hard you’re trying, how much you really want it. Remember, for every obstacle, there’s a solution.

When we do good things, most of the time, we’re hoping to get some recognition and appreciation from others. But if we purify our intention and do something solely for the sake of the Almighty, the rewards are beyond our imagination. No matter how small the deed, He knows.

When you supplicate to the Almighty, never for a moment think that He might be tired of listening to you. He loves it when you ask Him. He is never angry or fed up. He knows how much you need Him. He is ever ready to listen. Nothing is impossible for Him. So keep asking.

Remember, if the Almighty wants good for someone, He will create situations to draw him closer to his Maker. This can be in the form of poverty, heartbreak, repentance, desperate needfulness & whatever else through various means. Understand that & act accordingly.

It’s wrong to say things which hurt others. People do this for many different reasons. Some may feel powerful when they say words that hurt you. Some may be relieving their own internal pain by saying hurtful things. Whichever the case, it’s wrong. Stay away from it.

Some people just thrive being in the spotlight. They put on a show for everyone to see. They love being praised; it does wonders for their egos. They’ll create dramas just to be the centre of focus. Don’t get drawn into their circle.

Don’t give up now. You’ve come this far. The difficult days will make way for happier days soon enough. Remember, nothing lasts. So when you see a day where you think you can’t possibly get out of bed to face the world, don’t worry or panic. Better and brighter days are ahead.

'Courage can give voice to those who are voiceless. Those of us who have a little courage, we can develop more. I don't believe courage is something that you’re born with, I think you develop courage and you can develop it in small ways.' #MayaAngelou

Don’t take this life for granted. Here today, gone tomorrow is real and many of us have seen it happen to our loved ones and close friends. We never know when our time will be up. So forgive, spread goodness and pray that the Almighty takes us when He is most pleased with us.

Let people say what they want about you because sooner or later your actions will speak for themselves. There is no need to overreact when someone puts you down. You can make sure that you don't let them upset you by simply sticking to what you do best.

“My wish for you is joy. When you wish someone joy, you wish peace, love, prosperity, health, happiness... all the good things.” #MayaAngelou

Almighty. Give us the strength and courage to stay firm and hold on to our belief. Don’t make us among those who lose ourselves in a crowd just because we want to fit in. Make us worry less about what people think of us. Only You matter in the end. Aameen.

People ask why do bad things happen to good people while the good goes to the bad ones? If you dig deeper, you’ll realize that whatever happens in your life is according to the Almighty’s plan. It’ll always work out for you, be it in this world or the next. Be patient.

We often hear people cursing their fate, wondering why it’s always them who have to suffer. Why is the Almighty always testing me? Why is He rewarding those who sin with more wealth? The truth is each one of us is tested differently. He knows what He’s doing. Press on.

Don’t be foolish and expose every blessing of your life to everyone and think that they’ll be happy for you. Some will, but many won’t. The evil eye is real. Learn to keep things private and not to share too much with those who could possibly harm you.

No matter how sad or how low you feel, don’t opt for a temporary high by going against what the Almighty has prescribed. It won’t last and you’ll end up feeling worse. It will rob you of your peace and gain His Wrath.
