Worrying...Part 3

Wanna quit worrying ?

Use Dope (Drugs)!

I dont't have to do so much search to find out the consequences of using drugs as a tool/means to stop worrying , the reason for this is that I have been through this sh*t before , and I know very well what's it all about.

You worry sometimes cuz you feel insecure , so you head for drugs to calm you down and make you feel happy.

Have you ever felt how much insecurity you can feel when you're runing out of drugs?

In my point of view , the Insecurity I felt in the last case is far more irritating than that of the normal feel of insecurity.

Happiness obtained by drug abuse is so temporary , fake and the after effects are even far worse.

For drug users : Haven't you noticed how much life gets complicated when you take this path?

Don't you remember when you used to beg for money from friends , sell your things , or even steal your own family  just to get the dope? , not to mention the health problems that you'll suffer from via drug abuse.

Physically or mentally . I have a friend who declared himself as the Antichrist , that happened to him because of excess use of drugs.

When you depend on drugs you're actually depending on something that can't be there for you all the time.

You can run out of drugs , money to buy drugs or even you can't  find you're favorite dealer or your favorite type of dope available all the time. So , you will always feel insecure.

In contrast , If you depend on God you will never feel the same way , for he is always available,and you don't have to pay a penny to contact him , he sells happniess but gave you instructions on how to obtain this happiness , I have tried that myself , I followed his guidance and felt much much more happier and higher than I ever felt while using drugs.

Of course , you would say , drugs is more fun , it gathers friends around you and even might give you the ILLUSION that you are cooler with drugs , but the fact is that it isn't , its not fun cuz when you run out, trust me thats no fun at all ...if you are rich you might not run out but you will always feel dependant on it which is another form of insecurity .....it gather's friends around you yes , but can those be called friends? , a friend is a person who seeks your benefit and your happiness  not harm for you , if you think you are cooler with drugs , use my technique ...write down things  you did or said while you're high and look at them when you are sober,

you'll find out that they are either very silly or made you look like a fool , while you think your cool !

Get to the root of the problem , know God and he shall grant you everlasting happiness:
 
He almighty says :
"That man can have nothing but what He strives for;
that (the fruit of) His striving will soon come In sight:
then will He be rewarded with a reward complete;
that to Thy Lord is the final Goal;
that it is He who Granteth Laughter and Tears" (53:39-43)

Hard to implement ? Yes , but the consequences are far beyond you can imagine,eiher here or in the hereafter . If it was just for satisfying Allah that would be cool , but I know that most of you want to satisfy themselves first..Human nature...but there is no other way.

Worrying...Part 2

Stop worrying..for you are not alone.
We are all the same person,so GET A GRIP!

I love a song by Aerosmith called "Amazing" , its old but amazing.
I think every phrase of it needs attention.
I think its full of wisdom and experience.

First here's the song's lyrics or those who don't know it :

"I kept the right ones out ..

And let the wrong ones in ..

Had an angel of mercy to see me through all my sins,

There were times in my life When I was goin' insane

Tryin' to walk through ...The pain...

When I lost my grip ..And I hit the floor ,

Yeah, I thought I could leave but couldn't get out the door !
I was so sick and tired ....
Of livin' a lie ....
I was wishin' that I  ..... Would die ....

It's Amazing :
With the blink of an eye you finally see the light !

oohhh It's Amazing :
When the moment arrives that you know you'll be alright !

Yeaaah It's Amazing :
And I'm sayin' a prayer for the desperate hearts tonight ; )

That one last shot's a Permanent Vacation ....
And how high can you fly with broken wings?

"Life's a journey not a destination"
And I just can't tell just what tomorrow brings !

You have to learn to crawl ..
Before you learn to walk !
But I just couldn't listen to all that righteous talk ! oh yeah.. (yeah Aerosmith I wish I did listen)

I was out on the street,
Just a tryin' to survive ..
Scratchin' to stay alive....."

Amazing ha?

Aren't we all this person , havent we all passed through this?
Indeed...

So when you feel worried think that there are 6,692,030,277 person like you passing through the same feelings.

Worrying...Part 1

Stop worrying !

This subject is not out of context of my "Challenge everything"  slogan , What I'm trying to challenge here is a form of mental illness , that is "Worrying" .

Dale Carnegie is a great author , he was praised in Daily Express as follows :

"When...Dale Carnegie wrote his ground-breaking guide How to win friends and influence people he set a ball rolling that never stopped gathering momentum. The Book..gave birth to a self-improvemment industry that spans the globe".

In his other book "How to enjoy your life and job" he wrote :

"Why don't you stop right now and ask yourself , " What in the hell am I worrying about? " , You will prbably find that it is comparatively unimportant and insginifciant."

The prophet Mohammad (pbuh) said :

"The issues/situations of a believer is all good,  if he is tested by trials/tribulations and bears it with patience then its good for him (as he will be rewarded for his patience)  ,  and if he is blessed with a gift and was thankful then its good for him (as he will be rewarded for being thankful )".

About ninty percet of the things in our lives are right and about ten percent are wrong , If we want to be happy , all we have to do is to concentrate on the ninety percent that are right and ignore the ten percent that wrong. If you want to be worried and bitter and have stomach ulcers, all we have to do is concentrate on the ten percent that are wrong and ignore the ninety percent that are glorious.

The word "Think and Thank" was inscribed (engraved/written) in many of the Cromwelliam churches of England. , It means : Think of all we have to be grateful for, and thank God for all our boons(blessings) and bounties(rewards)".

Allah said : "But if ye count the favours of Allah, never will ye be able to number them. Verily, man is given up to injustice and ingratitude." (14:34)

And as Schopenhauer said "We seldom think of what we have but always think of what we lack".

One might have problems that overwhelm him/her and think that Dale is wrong , he/She might even think that his ratios should have been inverted , so instead of 90:10 (Right:Wrong) , it should be (Wrong:Right).

If you think so then answer this question : Would you take a million dollars for what you have? ..
Would you take a million dollars for your sight , for your hearing , for your mind or for the beauty of your face?

On my way to work every morning , I see this pitiful woman - sitting by the side of the road - whose face is totally burned , and she has two babies sitting on her laps , and she is supposed to be selling napkins but she isnt even paying attention to selling , when I pass by her I always find her smiling at her babies and babying then , she never asks for money , she is just sitting there waiting for a kind heart to give her a pound.

Imagine yourself in her situation , just think deeply and you will find that you ought to count your blessings and not your troubles.
