I don't know where I got this from, but I believe it is true. Though sometime us human being human it will be hard. We want to do good, to be nice, it is only our natural that we want to be a good person. But at times of obstacles, when Allah wanted to test our imaan...come all these absurd things that will make us angry and say rude things without we realized these obstacles are ways for us to get kifarah. Allah swt want to cleanse us, make us better, stronger. MasyaAllah. How our god love us.
A few weeks ago I come by this thing, they call it the Four Agreements
Be impeccable with your word
- speak with integrity
- say only what you mean
- avoid using the word to speak against yourself or to gossip about others
- use the power of your word in the direction of truth and love
Dont take anything personally
- nothing others do is because of you
- what others say and do is a projection of their own reality, their own dream.
- when you are immune to the opinions and actions of others, you wont be the victim of needless suffering.
Don't make assumptions
- find the courage to ask questions and to express what you really want.
- communicate with others as CLEARLY as you can to avoid misunderstandings, sadness and drama.
- with just this one agreement, you can completely transform your life.
Always do your best
- your best is going to change from moment to moment; it will be different when you are healthy as opposed to sick.
- under any circumstance, simply do your best, and you will avoid self-judgment, self-abuse, and regret.
These Four Agreements that we must make to ourselves, if not, it is easier for us to let others affect our lives. I've yet to accomplish this. But we can't stop trying...InsyaAllah to be a better human.
