Isn't it amazing how two facts

00:00:04 --> 00:00:05

that are seemingly contradictory

00:00:06 --> 00:00:08

can be true at the same time?

00:00:09 --> 00:00:10

I'll give you an example.

00:00:11 --> 00:00:12

On the one hand,

00:00:12 --> 00:00:13

you and I

00:00:14 --> 00:00:15

are insignificant

00:00:16 --> 00:00:18

specks on the surface of this Earth.

00:00:19 --> 00:00:20

Insignificant

00:00:21 --> 00:00:24

in the context of this amazing universe.

00:00:25 --> 00:00:26

Our lives

00:00:26 --> 00:00:29

will pass in a flash, in the blink

00:00:29 --> 00:00:31

of an eye, and we will make hardly

00:00:32 --> 00:00:32

a blip

00:00:33 --> 00:00:34

on the world's timeline.

00:00:35 --> 00:00:37

On the one hand, we are completely insignificant.

00:00:54 --> 00:00:56

Create strengths and my challenges.

00:00:57 --> 00:00:58

He saw fit

00:00:58 --> 00:00:59

to have a plan,

00:01:00 --> 00:01:01

especially for you,

00:01:02 --> 00:01:04

and a plan especially for me.

00:01:05 --> 00:01:05

Not only

00:01:06 --> 00:01:08

did he see fit to create us and

00:01:08 --> 00:01:09

put us on this earth,

00:01:11 --> 00:01:12

but he knows us.

00:01:13 --> 00:01:14

He sees us.

00:01:14 --> 00:01:15

He hears us.

00:01:16 --> 00:01:18

And he responds to us

00:01:18 --> 00:01:19

as

00:01:19 --> 00:01:19

insignificant

00:01:20 --> 00:01:20

as we

00:01:22 --> 00:01:23

are. And so, if it's true that, on

00:01:23 --> 00:01:26

the one hand, we are insignificant, on the

00:01:26 --> 00:01:28

other hand, we are supremely unique and important

00:01:28 --> 00:01:29

and miraculous.

00:01:31 --> 00:01:33

Why not see your life

00:01:34 --> 00:01:35

as a masterpiece?

00:01:37 --> 00:01:38

If Allah

00:01:38 --> 00:01:40

saw fit to give you life,

00:01:41 --> 00:01:43

why not see it

00:01:44 --> 00:01:44

as

00:01:45 --> 00:01:46

a work of art?

00:01:47 --> 00:01:47

A

00:01:47 --> 00:01:48

challenge.

00:01:49 --> 00:01:50

A feat of bravery.

00:01:52 --> 00:01:53

Why not see yourself

00:01:54 --> 00:01:56

as the hero of this masterpiece that is

00:01:56 --> 00:01:59

your life? After all, you are a masterpiece

00:01:59 --> 00:02:00

and a walking

00:02:00 --> 00:02:01

miracle.

00:02:02 --> 00:02:03

And so if that's the case,

00:02:04 --> 00:02:06

why not honor that?

00:02:09 --> 00:02:10

Reach in.

00:02:11 --> 00:02:11

Dig deep.

00:02:12 --> 00:02:14

Your higher self is inside.

00:02:16 --> 00:02:18

She's just waiting to be given permission to

00:02:18 --> 00:02:19

lead.

00:02:20 --> 00:02:21

She's the hero.

00:02:22 --> 00:02:23

You and her are the same.

00:02:25 --> 00:02:28

Let her come out. Let your inner hero

00:02:28 --> 00:02:29

lead.

00:02:31 --> 00:02:32

And show up

00:02:33 --> 00:02:34

authentically,

00:02:35 --> 00:02:35

vulnerably,

00:02:42 --> 00:02:43

It's time.
