Life is a teacher which teaches us to live. We may have felt many times in our life that life only favors rich, strong and bright people only, but that is very wrong in my opinion. If we deeply see the reasons for every little thing that happens in our life we may find so many clues of hidden favors for us, favors that awaiting to help us. Allah never wants us to fail instead Allah wanted us to learn, grow and win in our life by learning from every single little thing that happens in our life. When we first tried to walk we fell several times but we stood up and kept trying until we succeed in doing it. That is how our life is. We may fail several times but it is the strength and faith that we need to stand up and move on with our life. In the journey of our life we may have to travel in the roads full of thorns. Pain and wounds may weak us from going ahead but some day in our life we will come to realize that pain is worth to be felt. Looking back and seeing your life different from yesterday is not a time to sit back and regret but a moment to start learning. As in a saying “As we sail through life, don’t avoid storms and rough waters, just let it pass. Just sail always remember, Calm seas never make skillful sailors.”

We need to learn things not only from our own life but also from the things that we see. We need to learn from the genius creation of Allah. What does the animals in the jungle teaches us? When land in a jungle get dried. Animals live there start their journey in search of a grass land, In the heat of the sun in the devastating Storms and by crossing the river full of life threatening carnivals. Why do they risk their life? Not because they want to die but because they know the heaven lying other side of the river. They never wanted to stay back and die without a food instead they risk their life. At the end when the grass land comes to their view it is the moment their heart fill with relief and peace.

Life is up to us to make it sweet or sour. We need to add flavors and balance the taste so than only we can feel the real taste of it. Sometimes to catch the dreams we keep running behind it for a long time, some people give up at some point while others keep running and others enjoy it. It’s true we need not to give up on things but we need to let go things that which are not really mean for us. Wasting our time on things that never ease us will cheat us one day and leave us restlessly in grief. So it would be better to swim for the thing that has a value. Time is most important in life. Time may go in a glimpse of an eye, before time fail us we need to run along with time by hearing beat of each and every second of it and responding to it with our heart and mind.
