Create A Miracle

Leadership and miracles
There is one way to create miracles prophets have done it, saints do it, and this is the power of prayer.




God truly does answer :)
Please help create a miracle let's pray for unity and justice in the Middle East amongst all the sects. Unity not uniformity, hence love our differences and cherish our sameness.

Let's extend this energy to affect all the countries being divided.

2 steps to make this change:

Step 1:
To create this change pray at least once a day after Isha for the next 42 days with commitment, love. For unity amongst all Muslims, if needed special prayer is attached.

Step 2:
For the next 42 days help people around you at any cost. Make it priority, if anyone asks for help, help them unconditionally.




By doing so you put into practice what you asked for. Join us to share your story/make a suggestion contact us.


Be the leader of your destiny make the change you want to see happen.

Unity not uniformity :)
Thank you

Intention & Pursuit

“Our actions should have an intention, and the outcome of an affair is its intention and pursuit. Those who pursue materialism will get it, or pursue a woman will nail her.”

“The outcome is determined by the intention and pursuit.”



Our actions could be pointless because our intention was not clear.



Many times we strive only to find it pointless with no outcome, the reason is because we have no set intention for the outcome.


Other times we know what we want but don't even get out of our comfort zone or even bed to pursue our goals.



To obtain the best outcome of an affair is a clear intention before any action, and the diligent pursuit  with action.

Sleep thoughts


Your thoughts may often interfere with your sleep by protracting you into so-called “cycle of worry” and as a result stop you from falling asleep and resting properly.


CYCLE OF WORRY



THOUGHT: Negative Thought Leads to….
FEELING: Worry: Body and Mind are “ACTIVATED”
BEHAVIOUR: Scanning body, environment, and thoughts
THOUGHTAnd the cycle continues.

When Body and Mind are activated senses “zoom-in” and so often detect small, unrelated things as threats.

How to break a Cycle of Worry

Imagine, you wake up at 3 am and you think “I won’t be able to function tomorrow”.

You need to challenge that thought!!!

·       What is the evidence that supports this idea?
·       What is the evidence against this idea?
·       Is there an alternative explanation?
·       What is the worst that could happen?
·       Could I live through it?
·       What is the best that could happen?
·       What is the most realistic outcome?
·       What would I tell______(a friend) if he she were in the same situation?
·       How would someone else interpret the same situation?

What alternative thought could you have?

Situation
Automatic Thoughts
Feelings
Alternative Thoughts
Feelings
Awake in bed in the middle of the night
“I won’t be able to function tomorrow”.
Anxious 80%
“I did not sleep so well one night last week but I could still function. I may not be sleeping, but I am resting”.
Anxious 25%

By finding and Alternative Thought, Worry and Anxious feelings are reduced and the cycle is weakened or broken so sleep will come more easily.

Other ways to stop a “Racing Mind”
·       Allow thoughts to come and go e.g. train passing through a station (pink bunny exercise)
·       Concentration on something pleasurable and/or boring e.g. counting sheep
·       Think of something that will take your attention

3 BIG FACTORS that make it difficult to judge how much sleep you’ve had:

1.     “Sleep Inertia”- 3-20 minutes after waking we’re still “half-asleep”, dazed, “out-of-it”
2.     “Sleep Onset” is a bit of mystery time! Even with hi-tech machines, we can’t know exactly when sleep starts.
3.     “Worry” – research shows that when we worry – and our mind races – time seems to pass more quickly. So 30 minutes trying to get to sleep may seem like and hour!

Thinking about your sleep problem

Research has found that almost everyone
·       Underestimates how much sleep they get
·       Overestimates the time it takes them to go to sleep

Your beliefs and attitudes about sleep are important

Some things you can do

1.     Widen the Goal Posts e.g. don’t have fixed rules about sleep
2.     Recognise that not feeling completely rested some days is normal, EVEN AFTER a good night’s sleep
3.     Recognise that there are more things within your control such as:
·       Irregular sleep schedule
·       Daytime napping
·       Spending too much time in bed

DO NOT

·    Exaggerate the seriousness as this can lead to more worry, e.g. “I look ten years older after no sleep last night”
·       Let your world revolve around sleep
·       Cancel activities as that gives you more time to worry about the upcoming night

DO

·       Get on with things normal even if you have had a bad night sleep
·       Even if you don’t sleep, enjoy rest and relaxation, as these can be helpful
·       Accept that sleep problems are not dangerous

Good luck! Stay calm and sleep well…

I am jealous- Help me!

When I was asked about jealousy 2 weeks ago, I started to write an article which is now long gone in the trash. The 1st version was too philosophical & the 2nd too academic. I did not feel like I had anything to say to this person that needed my help! I truly prayed to be able to help this person, and fortunately God answered my prayers. I now write from my heart, and the tools to overcome it come from experience  making them effective.



Jealousy is a deep rooted feeling of insecurity telling you that you are not good enough. The mind starts to protect itself to be able to hide the vulnerability of “not enough” creating more emptiness.The problem is its ALL A LIE,  lies only create an imaginary situation that does not exist, will never manifest and you are only empowering a power that does not exist.

The feeling of wanting something but the fear that you will not have it is an illusion, it's not reality for you need to know that you have, and will have everything you need in order to grow, become a better person and ultimately live a better life.


Deeper Factors of Jealousy:


Where does this fear of ‘not enough’ (emptiness) stem from, the truth is simple: from prior experience. It might not be the same situation on the surface and initially it might not even seem related, but somewhere along the lines you experienced loss or felt that something was taken from you. This feeling generated a strong thought and thus the linear working mind decided to start creating ways to protect itself.





STEPS 2 Recovery

The bright side is everything in life is desire, if you are willing to put enough effort in the right way you can change your jealousy by awareness and rearranging the content of your mind.



STEP 1:

When you feel any negative emotion, observe if it is coming from fear and lack, if it is... then withdraw and let the thought go.

STEP 2:

Connect to this particular idea, and come to believe it.

“The outcome of all affairs is determines by Divine decree. If something is meant to go elsewhere, it shall never come your way, but if it is yours by destiny from you it cannot flee”

Connecting to this simple truth can help you elevate from jealousy and take a path to your own ability and purpose in life.



Imitate Me:

Unaware reactive behavior causes a person to act on auto pilot, meaning that everything he does in action is predetermined by an over thinking mind which is not reality. This reactive mind causes you to imitate other people, wishing you had their life,creating more dissatisfaction as you are not the leader but an effect. This diminishes your power, making you more jealous, unhappy and the longer you refuse to change the more unhappy you will become..

I sincerely hope this article helps those in need, and may we be helped by divine grace to overcome this challenge.
