What I learned from a 2-year old

======================

As parents we are expected to teach our children a lot of things. We normally don't view it as children teaching the parents. Yet, here I am at the playground with Zayan who is a few weeks shy of being two years old, and he is teaching me something very important.

No matter who passes by him, he yells out "Hi!!"  and waves his hand with such power. Or gives the Muslim greeting of peace Assalamualikum "Peace be upon you."

He does not discriminate either.

He will greet anyone and everyone...even people driving by in cars.

Their reactions are the best. At first they are thinking who in the world is greeting them, but then the energy of his “Hi!!” becomes contagious and they are waving back saying “Hi!!” all gleefully and full of joy.

I, on the other hand,  do not think to say hi or greet strangers often enough.

One of the best things you can do is give greetings of peace especially to people you don't know and pass by.  As I consider myself a Muslim, it is one of the tenants to greet strangers and non-strangers alike with a greeting of peace.. We often pass each other by either looking at our phones or toward the ground and never think to give a simple “Hi” or a smile.

Today at the playground my child proved that children can teach parents, and with that teaching I leave this with a...

“Hi!!”

#0828 Example of a believer

------------------------------------------------------------

Example of a believer

======================

Narrated Abu Huraira: God’s Apostle said, “The example of a believer is that of a fresh tender plant; from whatever direction the wind comes, it bends it, but when the wind becomes quiet, it becomes straight again. Similarly, a believer is afflicted with calamities (but he remains patient till God removes his difficulties.) And an impious wicked person is like a pine tree which keeps hard and straight till God cuts (breaks) it down when He wishes.” (Bukhari)

#0827 Habits to stay high

Habits to stay high

======================

There was a time in my life not very long ago where the message in this song (Habits by Tove Lo)  would be my daily norm of the things that I would do to give myself a high for mistaken happiness.

I had confused stability and familiarity in a relationship for happiness.

That confusion would lead to a lot of spiritual self-destructive tendencies.

It was a time in my life that I soon realized was because I was so afraid of the unknown.

I was no longer in control of the future, and it frightened me.

I finally fell down on my knees and surrendered.

When I finally did surrender control and left myself at the mercy of the Universe, I realized I did not need to be in control.

There was a greater being who was managing my life's affairs.

I just had to quit interfering.

Once I finally let go and Let God, I was blessed with a wonderful woman who is my wife and mother to my child, and all other aspects of my life fell into place...without me forcing anything.

A hard lesson learned, but one that I am glad to have learned.

#0824 Energy

---------------------------------------------------------------

Inner Peace Be Upon You

# 0824 Peace and Blessings Every Day

------------------------------------------------------------

Energy

======================

We are all made up of energy. Every day we start with 100% energy.

I don’t mean sustenance. The energy I am referring to is positive energy.

A strong light within us.

However, keeping that energy level at 100% is up to us.

Some of us wake up and our morning doesn’t start off [right], so we lose

a some of that energy. That 100% energy is now at 90% to carry

us through the day.

Others of us have already depleted the 100% energy before we even

start our morning. Perhaps the night before we carried with us [bad] or

dark energy due to an argument with a loved one, or the stress of

work from earlier in the day, or anything else that reduces the positive

light within us. In this case we don’t wake up with 100% energy, but much

less to carry us through our day.

Utilize your 100% energy wisely.

Inner Peace Be Upon You.
