Let It Go *

There are people who can walk away from you. And hear me when I tell you this! When people can walk away from you: let them walk.

I don't want you to try to talk another person into staying with you, loving you, calling you, caring about you, coming to see you, staying attached to you. I mean hang up the phone.

When people can walk away from you let them walk. Your destiny is never tied to anybody that left. People leave you because they are not joined to you. And if they are not joined to you, you can't make them stay.

LET IT GO!

And it doesn't mean that they are a bad person, it just means that their part in the story is over. And you've got to know when people's part in your story is over so that you don't keep trying to raise the dead. You've got to know when it's dead.

You've got to know when it's over. Let me tell you something. I've got the gift of goodbye. It's not that I'm hateful, it's that I'm faithful, and I know whatever God means for me to have He'll give it to me. And if it takes too much sweat I don't need it. Stop begging people to stay.

LET IT GO!

If you are holding on to something that doesn't belong to you and was never intended for your life, then you need to... LET IT GO!

If you are holding on to past hurts and pains... LET IT GO!

If someone can't treat you right, love you back, and see your worth... LET IT GO!

If someone has angered you... LET IT GO!

If you are holding on to some thoughts of evil and revenge... LET IT GO!

If you are involved in a wrong relationship or addiction... LET IT GO!

If you are holding on to a job that no longer meets your needs or talents... LET IT GO!

If you have a bad attitude... LET IT GO!

If you keep judging others to make yourself feel better... LET IT GO!

If you are struggling with the healing of a broken relationship....... LET IT GO!

If you keep trying to help someone who won't even try to help themselves... LET IT GO!

If you're feeling depressed and stressed... LET IT GO!

Get Right or Get Left, think about it, and then...

LET IT GO!

مأسينا

* مأسينا..

و هل تحصى مأسينا
و قد أعيا بها التأريخ تدوينا!
لكي تقوى على غدنا..
و تحني رأس حاضرنا..
تكرر وجه ماضينا..

فمن ظلم الى ظلم
و من ألم الى ألم
تسامرنا ليالينا.

و لم تدر
بأن الخير طينتنا..
و أن العز معدننا..
و أن الموت يحينا..

* الشيخ حسين الاكرف

حسبي الله و نعم الوكيل

I wasn't going to say anything about what's been happening, but I can no longer stay quiet. I have so much to say, yet for right now, I'll settle for this:

..حسبي الله و نعم الوكيل.. حسبي الله و نعم الوكيل.. حسبي الله و نعم الوكيل

Amazing when a life no longer has any value! Amazing how cheap governments are selling people for! Amazing how the World isn't stepping up to stop this! Amazing how 2 Israeli soldiers captured is terrorism, yet killing innocent women and children is 'self defense'.

They're no longer even trying to hide it or do it discreetly. It's out in the open! They do what they want, and the World just gives them a slap on the wrist saying 'stop it'

I'm ashamed to be part of the 'World'!

Choose

I took a few days off work and went to Kuwait. It was nice to get out of the normal routine, go shopping, and eat a lot of things that I probably shouldn't have eaten! :)

That said, time for a light post. Which would you choose:

* Superman or Spiderman?
* Morning or a night person?
* Las Vegas or the Maldives?
* Firefox or IE?
* Chocolate or fruit cake?
* LOST or 24?

Changing Lives

If there’s one thing that I’ve learned in life, it’s that nothing stays the same. The more we try to hold on to things, the higher the odds that they’ll slip away. Life is constantly moving, and the only constant is change.

As humans, it’s not always easy to accept that. We get used to things quickly, which makes it hard to let go. When we lose things/people, suddenly we feel this void where they used to be.

The quicker we understand and accept that this is part of life, the easier things will get for us. It’s not about being a pessimist. It’s more of being a realist.

Amnesia

Does anyone else suffer from temporary (or permanent) memory loss?!

I can't seem to be able to keep a thought in my mind for long. Yesterday I had an idea of a post I wanted to write about. Today, for the life of me, I can't remember what the topic was!

What am I supposed to do? It just seems to be getting worse! It's gotten to a point where I have to set reminders on my phone just to remember to make a call the next day or get something done.

Appreciation

There are a lot of things in life that frustrate us. Many things that we sit there and complain about. Every now and then, though, it's good to take a step back and look at how good we have it compared to others. It's so easy to notice the bad, we don't take enough time to appreciate the small things in life. Like what? Let's start by going way back:

* Electricity!
* Air Conditioners (thank u thank u thank u)
* Cars
* Internet!! (how did we survive w/out it?)
* Cable (GO ITALY!)
* Airplanes
* Advancements made in the field of medicine

Too general? Ok, how about others who:

* Don't have enough money to know where they'll get their next meal from?
* Have abusive parents/spouses (girl raped and impregnated by her father, wife used as an ashtray for her husband, etc)
* Have lost loved ones or have loved ones who are really ill
* Have no family
* Have no home

Al7amd-l'Allah for everything we have. Thank God for our family, our friends, our health, the home we live in, and the food on our table.

Absolute Beauty!

Focus!

The past few weeks have witnessed quite a bit of drama on the friendship front. I just honestly don't understand why females over analyze, take things personally, and then get upset/refuse to communicate. Seriously, take a chill pill, relax, stop thinking that everything is a personal attack, and just move on.

The good news is, I haven't allowed that drama to get to me; I've tried to pretty much ignore it and ride the wave. The bad news is, these World Cup games are stressing me out! Who has time for real life drama when the acting is performed so obviously on the field! :)

No more penalty shots please! My nerves can't handle it!
