I read this article few days ago and I really like it.i posted it only important point and Just want to share with all of you.
“Look, you have pain, you don’t like it and you’re afraid of it, yet you hold onto it! You have to learn to let it go because you are not in control anyway.”
“Do I hold onto the pain?”
Can I do that I wondered.
“And it’s not just your own pain; you also have to feel the pain of others.”
“Mine is more than enough!” I declared, almost laughing. “More than enough!”
“When you feel the pain of others it helps you to bear your own.”
“How?”
“Well, look what’s happening now. You’re telling me how you feel; don’t you
feel better having done that?”
“Yes, actually I do,” I said in deep thought.
“And as I listen to you, I feel calmer and I feel less pain. We benefit each other.”
“Do you feel pain too?”
“Everyone feels pain.”
“Life is so hard.”
“Oh, come on. Don’t forget that everything has two sides. For all the marvelous emotions that can fill our being there is also darker emotions. You can never appreciate beauty, truth or joy without having experienced their opposites. If we only experience beauty and happiness, we would be angels! But remember Almighty Allah says that the righteous human being is higher than the angels – so feel your pain, enjoy it and grow through it!”
I closed my eyes and let the waves of pain wash over me. I didn’t resist them. I waited. They passed. I opened my eyes. There was calmness.
“So what did you learn?” she asked.
“I survived it. It passed. Everything changes.”
“Yes, accept change and accept yourself. It’s the only way you can start to build.”
I felt stronger. The pain had edged its way into the background, and left me with a sense of clarity-- tranquility.
“Where did you learn all this?” I asked. “Is there a book I should read?” As if anything could be so easy.
“No,” she laughed. “Allah the Almighty puts His signs in the universe all around us. Anyone can see them and understand them, even if he can not read!
It is up to us to comprehend the messages He sends to us and learn from them, or situation is repeated situations until we understand. Our ability to do this depends on the state of our heart.
"If you look back at your life, and compare yourself in the past with how you are right now, you will surely see many changes and developments. You are not the same person you were ten years ago. Try to remember the signs you had along the way. Try to remember what guided you,” she explained.
I could remember.
“Change is a part of life, don’t resist it. Learn to ride out whatever happens, and know that joy is contained in and around hardships.”
“Tell me about your life,” I asked her. “What was the changing point in your life?”
“
"There have been many really. I learned that helping others always brings about something positive.”
“Please explain.”
“Well, if someone comes to you with a problem that is counted as negative. Then you try to help them, comfort them, and support them then that is counted as positive.”
“But won’t the negative of that person counteract your positive?”
“Remember what you've learned about Math at school? A negative and a positive make a what?”
“A positive!”
“Yes. And a positive and a negative make a positive, and a positive and a positive make a positive…”
“Yes, only a negative and a negative make a negative,” I realized.
“That’s why we should always return evil – a negative – with goodness – a positive, then the whole thing will transform into something positive. Isn’t life amazing?”
Just think about it.....
