Keep Moving Forward

The very meaning of life is progression, moving forward, learning, and cultivating new things. There is always more to be done, and the past is the last place to remain. Only use the past to learn, but never dwell in it, only dwell in the present and look towards the future for what you envision. Create the habit of moving past shortcomings and remain confident in your ability to build a future that takes the lessons you have learned and applies them to move with more grace and intelligence.

Be mindful of the words you utter, as words have powerful effects, that is why it is called “spelling” as you are bringing into fruition a thought by speaking through outward or inward dialect. Always tell yourself powerful messages of positivity, which correspond to the highest power in this universe, which is love, stemming as a creation of Allah SWT’s own mercy and the epitome of what the human condition must adapt with in order to achieve the greatest strides possible. Our world is very mundane when it comes to the topic of love because it isn’t applied to everything out there when in reality, love should be the basis for every company, every action, and all that is generated from entrepreneurs and creators alike. When love becomes the foundation, then all else is beautified and healed into its true essence, this planet has become bombarded with negativity and hate, hence, we have been sent on a critical mission to bring back love and heal the wounds which are scattered on our mother earth.

These wounds move past the veils of our planet into the depths of our souls as we are one with the universe, it is our duty to bring it the utmost dignity and respect because we are giving ourselves the same bounty when we put out in the earth. Rather than dwelling in the mistakes of the past, love yourself and forgive others for what they may have done, use today as a beacon to shift into a higher realm of thought and bring your existence into an experience layered on purity. It is easy to say, “forgive and forget”, but can be hard at times, however when we realize no one is perfect and we all are fallible, then it is easier to do so. Start by realizing that we all are just people, and no one is better than anyone, some live in an impure mindset which tells them that they are better than everyone else, this sadly, is a punishment that they are given their own soul because material or knowledge doesn’t make an individual greater than an another. The only thing that makes us greater than another person is our purity and love. Only the person with the biggest heart and highest intellect is capable of looking past the pain someone may have caused them, and forgiving because they innerstand that the human condition's very name is learning through mistakes.

When you learn to forgive others, you learn to forgive yourself because you open your heart space to receive countless abundance in the form of connection to all that is around you. Connecting with nature, with your being, with the other creation which surrounds you, this all plays a role in making you who you are today. No matter, what happens in life, keep moving forward because this is also the greatest signal of strength, this shows the grit of an individual to continue on the journey even when the storm is settling in. The storm will pass, however, the person taking the journey will become even more wise and experienced, everything will reach its place accordingly. Don’t make the experience difficult, make it easy and enjoy it, the pain is all part of the gain, the shame is just a game for you to better your name, the tears wash away the fears and the love connects you to all that is above.

Live with love and radiate such enormous amounts of love from your soul that whoever comes into your existence, is truly blessed. Whoever is near you is in the bounty of grace and finds peace in their own soul, be a source of motivation and put the ego aside, remember this life is meant to improve us and help us reach our next destination with much more ease. We are just wanderers in this gigantic cocoon we call, mother earth, treat this humble abode with great care and be a source of dignity for your parents. For their sacrifices brought you where you are, don’t fall victim to the anger of others, and stand up for yourself, but act with grace and be composed at all moments, love doesn’t shy away from speaking the truth, so be an emblem of hope, honesty and bringing the best out of others.

Greatness Awaits, Love is the Key & Allah Swt is the Infinite Source.
