During a study at Harvard in the 1950s, Dr. Curt Richter placed rats in a pool of water to test how long they could tread water.

On average they'd give up and sink after 15 minutes.

But right before they gave up due to exhaustion, the researchers would pluck them out, dry them off, let them rest for a few minutes - and put them back in for a second round.

In this second try - how long do you think they lasted?

Remember - they had just swam until failure only a few short minutes ago...

How long do you think?

Another 15 minutes?

10 minutes?

5 minutes?

No!

60 hours!

That's not an error.

That's right! 60 hours of swimming.

The conclusion drawn was that since the rats BELIEVED that they would eventually be rescued, they could push their bodies way past what they previously thought impossible.

I will leave you with this thought:

If hope can cause exhausted rats to swim for that long, what could a belief in yourself and your abilities, do for you?

Remember what you’re capable of. Remember why you’re here. "

Keep swimming.

I love Wednesday's ever since I was shown this amazing hadith.

The precondition is literally having no doubt in Allah. He does not play games with His servants, luring them to pray, then leaving them.

Every dua is divided in two ways: the answer is for us, and the timing is Allah's. Delay ≠ no answer. It is impossible to make dua and leave empty handed.

If you pray for a thing 100 times and then it gets answered, the answer counts as one, and ninety-nine are saved for you as reward on Yawm al-Qiyama.

Wednesday between Dhuhr and Asr is an hour of ijaba, or answered prayers. It is unique from other such days in that often times, the sign of the answer (ijaba) is made clear to the person.

The Prophet ﷺ had prayed for something on Monday and Tuesday, but did not get an answer yet. On Wednesday, he prayed again and recieved the ijaba (answer). It was between Dhuhr and Asr. And hence that became a sacred time.

The Sahabi who was there, Jabir b. Abd Allah, said that afterwards, when he had a need or desire, he would make dua at that hour and see a sign of Allah's answer.

Narrated in Bukhari in his Adab al-Mufrad, and Bayhaqi

📚الدعاء مستحب بين الظهر والعصر يوم الأربعاء :

عَنْ ‏جَابِرِ بْنِ عَبْدِاللَّهِ رَضِيَ الله عَنْهُ،‏ أَنَّ النَّبِيَّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ دَعَا فِي مَسْجِدِ الْفَتْحِ ثَلاثًا يَوْمَ ‏الاثْنَيْنِ وَيَوْمَ الثُّلاثَاءِ وَيَوْمَ الأربعاء *فَاسْتُجِيبَ لَهُ يَوْمَ الأربعاء بَيْنَ الصّلاتَيْنِ* فَعُرِفَ الْبِشْرُ فِي وَجْهِهِ.

🖊 قَالَ ‏جَابِرٌ رَضِيَ الله عَنْه: *‏فَلَمْ يَنْزِلْ بِي أَمْرٌ مُهِمٌّ غَلِيظٌ إِلا‏ ‏تَوَخَّيْتُ ‏تِلْكَ السَّاعَةَ فَأَدْعُو فِيهَا فَأَعْرِفُ الإجابة*
رواه البخاري في "الأدب المفرد" وأحمد والبزار.

🖊 قال الإمام البيهقي في "شعب الإيمان" (46/2):
[ويتحرى للدعاء الأوقات والأحوال والمواطن التي يرجى فها الإجابة تماما
فأما الأوقات فمنها: *ما بين الظهر والعصر من يوم الأربعاء*]

The late king of a certain community had ten wild dogs. He used them to torture and eat any of his servants who made a mistake. One of the servants gave an opinion that was wrong, and the king didn’t like it at all. So he ordered that the servant be thrown to the dogs.

The servant said, “I served you for ten years, and you do this to me? Please give me ten days before throwing me to those dogs!” The king agreed.

In those ten days, the servant went to the guard who looks after the dogs and told him he would like to serve the dogs for the next ten days. The guard was baffled but agreed, and the servant started feeding the dogs, cleaning for them, bathing them, and providing all sorts of comfort for them.

When the ten days were over, the king ordered that the servant be thrown to the dogs for his punishment. When he was thrown in, we were all amazed to see the ravenous dogs only licking the feet of the servant!

The king, baffled at what he was seeing, said,
”What has happened to my dogs?”

The servant replied, "I served the dogs for only ten days, and they didn’t forget my service. Yet I served you for a whole ten years and you forgot all, at my first mistake!"

The king realized his mistake and ordered the servant to be set free.

This post is a message to all those who forget the good things a person does for them as soon as the person makes a mistake towards them. Don’t put out the history that is filled with good because of a mistake you don’t like.

Relationships of any kind are quite complex. You think you've got it right and then something happens that throws you off course, and you realise you've got many things wrong and are very much still a baby learning to crawl.

Whether the relationship is parent to child, wife to husband, sibling to sibling, or friend to friend, I have learnt and am still learning that a successful, healthy and balanced relationship is to let go of the other person in the equation and to hold so lovingly onto yourself.

Let me explain.

To let go of the other person in the relationship is to let go of what you expect from him or her. It is to let go of the way you want them to make decisions. It is to let go of the way they react to your being there for them; the way they respond to your acts of love; the timing and method of when and how they show you love, understanding or even acknowledgment.

It is to hold ever tight to the one person you do have control over: yourself. To hold her tight, to love her more, to give to her more, to fill her cup more, to have healthy amazing expectations of all the wonder, joy and fulfilment loving her and giving to her, will and can bring.

Invest more into the love, kindness and expectation you give and have of yourself, than the love, kindness and expectation you give and have of others. Because when you invest more into yourself, you'll automatically need others less. The less you need others, the less expectations you have of others, and the more you get to see who they really are in the relationship.

The more you engage in loving and caring for yourself, the less you will expect others to love and care for you in the way you hope, because you're already giving yourself that level of love and care! The less expectation you have of loved ones, the more room you give them to breathe, be, decide, act and love as they wish to.

If their own unique level of love and care they offer you correlates with your values and boundaries of what it means to be loved and cherished, then you'll enjoy the relationship. If it doesn't correlate with your own self value and boundaries of what it means to be loved and cherished, then you'll need to decide what you want to do in or with that relationship. And sometimes, whether that relationship is something you even want.

Letting go of expectations of another is to free yourself from the internal destruction that comes with disappointment.

Investing lots of love and care into yourself means you're free of the ifs, whens and hows of the behaviour of your loved one. Because well, your cup is already being filled by yourself. If they decide to top it up, it's like them offering you a second cup of tea as a bonus. If they don't, you've already had your first cuppa and you've already quenched your thirst.

And let's face it, when you're gasping for a cuppa, there's nothing quite like pouring your own cup of tea: the way you like it best, with just the right amount of milk and sugar - at the precise time you need it most.

Some words or small collections of them can lift you up for minutes, hours or sometimes even days.

Other words can poke and stab and quickly tear you down.

These are the words that really get under your skin and hurt you.

What can you do when that happens?

Well, let me share what has worked for me.

Let it out.

The first thing I often do after I notice that something did actually get under my skin is to talk it over with someone close to me.

By just letting it out and venting you can release a lot of inner tension and the two of you can find a more helpful and healthier perspective on what has gotten under your skin.

Ask yourself: is the person having a bad day or year?

When my self-esteem was lower than it is today then I used to think that pretty much all the negative things people said to me was in some way my fault.

However, that is often not the case.

People can verbally attack you or nag or criticize harshly because they may have had an awful day or week. Or simply because they do not like their lives very much at all.

So don’t think this is all about you. There are two of you in this situation.

Ask yourself: could there be something here that could help me?

This question is not always fun to ask yourself. And it doesn’t always lead anywhere at all. But after you have calmed down by using the steps above it can be helpful.

Especially if this is the fifth or tenth time you have heard the same thing from people.

Then there might be something here you would like to work on and something valuable in the long run.

So at least take a minute or two to think about it.

Take care and have a self-kind Sunday!

How To Stop Comparing Yourself To Others

The first question we should be asking ourselves is, why do we do it.

The main reason why we do it is that we feel insignificant, and we need something or someone for validation. You see it all the time in marketing campaigns don't fall into that trap.

The society has influenced us in that way, and it is not our fault. A lot of people's success is fuelled by insecurity that what keeps them going. For success, it is a great fuel, but if you are looking for happiness and fulfillment, it is not.

Set your priorities straight and decide what more valuable to you, your success, or happiness.

People get stuck in this illusion that if they become more successful, gain more followers, they will become significant, but in reality, it is not right what they are lacking is love and acceptance.

Become a giver that will make you more significant. Giving without any expectation is the best feeling ever.

Stop comparing yourself to others; instead, view them as role models, they are showing what is possible they are paving the way for my success. Learn from them and be inspired by them.

It's the little mindset shifts that make all the difference.

The next time you are comparing yourself to others, remember how far you have gotten to this point, don't discourage your journey and always be grateful for the things you already have.

Type out three things you are grateful to have in your life.

When you just can’t love yourself, just work on giving yourself basic respect.

When you just can’t practice self care, aim for basic hygiene and keeping yourself alive.

When you just can’t have positive thoughts, focus on ignoring the negative ones.

When you just can’t quit those bad habits and unhealthy coping mechanisms, be sure to take care of yourself afterwards.

When you just can’t make yourself eat enough, aim for something three times a day, even if it’s something small.

When you just can’t stop binge eating, just do your best to forgive yourself and focus on something else instead of dwelling on it for any longer.

Not everyone is at a point where they can recover, and so thinking about recovery can be intimidating and make them shut down, because they just feel like they’re nowhere close to getting better so they might as well not bother. There needs to be more advice on dragging yourself through the days. Self care to the bare minimum. Aiming for “feeling okay with yourself” or “feeling less awful about yourself” rather than loving yourself. Baby steps.

Every time you turn to social media, you see success stories. ⁣
⁣
People celebrate their victories, not their struggles.⁣
⁣
How many times have you seen someone post about their failures on social media.⁣
⁣
.⁣
⁣
What people have to realize is that without struggle, there will be no success, so we need to learn how to embrace the hard times we face because success is waiting on us at the end of the tunnel.⁣
⁣
Become more engaged with your work and that good energy will be passed on to your colleges at your workplace. When everyone is coming from a collaborative mindset, great things tend to happen.⁣
⁣
Focus on helping others and giving back to your community. If you live to serve others, you will be rewarded a tenfold.⁣
⁣
There will be times where you want to give up and stop everything. Don't allow yourself to do that. By turning your challenges into opportunities, you will find the success you never realized you were capable of achieving.⁣
⁣
You will get all you want in life, if you help enough other people get what they want. – Zig Ziglar⁣

When To Follow Your Intuition⁣

⁣by

A lot of people misunderstood intuition for fear, so they tend not to follow it because they are scared.⁣
⁣
Our intuition operates typically at the level that we trust.⁣
⁣
Listen to your intuition when dealing with people. If you feel that a person is trustworthy and you have a great connection based on past experiences, go with it.⁣
⁣
When you feel passionate about an idea that will help your growth in the long term, and you feel good about doing it, don't let your intuition hold you back. It is better than overthinking and doing nothing at all.⁣
⁣
Curiosity is another good indicator of why you should follow your intuition; this will allow you to conduct your research, and it will be an excellent opportunity for you to learn something new.⁣
⁣
Intuition works best after-effort. Don't let fear hinder your advancement in life. Take action and keep at it for a couple of months. If it feels right, keep going. If it doesn't, stop and change the path.⁣
⁣
Listen to the intuition that is in harmony with your faith. Trust the spiritual guidance that is directing you towards becoming a better person.⁣
⁣
Type "YES" if you are ready for 2020!
