Isn't it amazing how two facts
that are seemingly contradictory
can be true at the same time?
I'll give you an example.
On the one hand,
you and I
are insignificant
specks on the surface of this Earth.
Insignificant
in the context of this amazing universe.
Our lives
will pass in a flash, in the blink
of an eye, and we will make hardly
a blip
on the world's timeline.
On the one hand, we are completely insignificant.
Create strengths and my challenges.
He saw fit
to have a plan,
especially for you,
and a plan especially for me.
Not only
did he see fit to create us and
put us on this earth,
but he knows us.
He sees us.
He hears us.
And he responds to us
as
insignificant
as we
are. And so, if it's true that, on
the one hand, we are insignificant, on the
other hand, we are supremely unique and important
and miraculous.
Why not see your life
as a masterpiece?
If Allah
saw fit to give you life,
why not see it
as
a work of art?
A
challenge.
A feat of bravery.
Why not see yourself
as the hero of this masterpiece that is
your life? After all, you are a masterpiece
and a walking
miracle.
And so if that's the case,
why not honor that?
Reach in.
Dig deep.
Your higher self is inside.
She's just waiting to be given permission to
lead.
She's the hero.
You and her are the same.
Let her come out. Let your inner hero
lead.
And show up
authentically,
vulnerably,
It's time.
