A big lesson I am currently learning ( I believe it is this, it might be something else entity)!

 

 

Sabr, patience, Sabr and more Sabr.

 

With every stage in your life their is a reason for it, Allah will reveal it you just have to be patient enough to endure it first.

Some people only know you when they need something, the rest of the times you are a stranger to them.And funnily enough when you need something, you are still a stranger to them.

STFU and take it like a real Somali....is what I learnt.

 

I have had 1000x more opportunities than both my parents combined and I've hardly seen them complain as life threw stuff at them, but I complain 1,000,000x more than them in my bubbly middle-class existence....

 

Perhaps true for many of us on SOL who are really privileged in many ways...

Coofle   

1- Never Judge people, Give them excuses. rarely do people do bad things out of pure evil.

2- Don't drain your energy thinking of the past, , prepare for future.

3- Things change. They always do. At least in Dunya

4- No one will ever love you more than your family (Esp parents) cherish them.

In the face of adversity, fight and fight and fight. Even when the battle seems unwinnable, perservere. For if you do not even attempt to fight and do not perservere, you shall never overcome. And if you do not fight for yourself and for others in the persuance of justice, who will? If you lose - and sometimes you will lose - do not let the defeat define you. Instead, let the defeat wash over you. Learn from it, grow from it and then move on from it.
