Navigating Jealousy and Insecurity

Not everyone in this world is good. I consider myself a good soul, and I used to believe that everyone around me was as good as I am. But that's not true. I feel happy for others' happiness and sad for their sadness, but I have seen people who are jealous and insecure about my growth and happiness.

People can be black and white in their character. When they see themselves growing while others are not, they show pity and try to console them instead of helping them grow. In reality, they feel happy inside that others are lesser than them. Conversely, when others grow and do well, they cannot digest the reality and become merciless and unkind, cutting off all paths for them to grow.

Identifying such people is very difficult, but God always shows the reality by giving us difficulties. It doesn't mean that God is pulling us down; rather, He is showing us the real faces of people. Removing such individuals from our circle and life is the best thing we can do. Being away from negative and insecure people brings us peace and helps avoid stress and anxiety. Finding a truly good soul is like finding a needle in a haystack, but cutting out negative people is something we can and should do.

The Path to Inner Peace

  Peace is something we all crave. We wish, pray, and seek a peaceful and happy life, but often, we find ourselves overwhelmed by stress and anxiety in this pursuit. We tend to overthink and create scenarios in our minds that are far from reality. I, too, crave peace, but instead of doing things that bring me peace, I often do the opposite. I worry about things beyond my control, and most of these worries never come to pass. I realized that my constant chain of thoughts was causing me stress and tension, preventing me from finding peace. Identifying the real problem was the first step toward my journey to peace. I began focusing on activities that bring me tranquility and calm my mind. Instead of dwelling on things I cannot control, I started concentrating on what I can control. I began journaling my thoughts, planning my day, praying, taking care of my eating habits, spending quality time with myself, and reducing unnecessary screen time. I have been practicing these habits ...

The Journey of Detachment

When you're away from home, you miss it deeply. It's not just the house you miss, but every moment spent there with the people you love and care about. For me, being with family at home brings peace. Sharing a cup of chai with biscuits and engaging in ongoing gossip with my mother, sister, and brother is a blessing. I miss my home, my dream home, built with so many dreams and so much love. Every inch of it was planned and thought out by us. We had to sell it due to circumstances that tested us. We built it with a lot of emotions and love, and I miss every inch of it that gave me countless memories and moments. But it was God's plan to teach me that not everything in this world is permanent. We come across many things to which we get attached, but they are just material possessions. As Muslims, we believe that we are travelers in this world. We come empty-handed and leave empty-handed, collecting only deeds based on our actions. When we sold the house, I was sad and depr...

AVIGATING THE STORM: MY JOURNEY WITH STRESS AND ANXIETY

I want to talk about something very important and serious that we all deal with: stress and anxiety. I'm one of its chosen ones, and it never leaves me alone. It's not a simple thing; it affects every part of my day until my thoughts are resolved. I constantly stress about situations and get anxious. I've been surviving with this overthinking, always stuck on the same point, unable to think about anything else, trying to fix things in my mind that I cannot control. I often stress over questions like "What if?", "How can it happen?", "What can I do?", and "How to resolve it?". These are very serious words to me. Once, I even fainted due to an anxiety attack. When we're anxious or stressed, we can sense it. It becomes hard to breathe, our chest tightens, and we're filled with agony. I even miss my monthly period cycle due to this issue. I used to take counseling and therapy to make myself better, but this is not easy stuff. ...
