Reclaim Your Heart.. (En/Ar)

Nothing happens to us aimlessly—nothing at all! All the dreams that we desperately wished for but never came true, all the disappointments and failures we have experienced…even the heartbreaking emotional pain! Everything happens for a reason, even if it doesn’t always seem that way.

But if we feel beaten down by life, does this mean that we stop loving it and let it slip away?!

On the contrary, this might help you get back on your feet so you can turn it all around. Our suffering will be relieved and our hearts will stop breaking, only when we stop putting all our hopes in life and focusing on our pains. And when we stop seeing life as something different than being evanescent, only then we can defeat life!

Remember that your broken heart is only a warning that something was not right .. And that emotional pain you feel is only a divine sign that you need to make an inner change before sulking into despair…

Simply put, if you turn your back to life today, it shall come knocking on your door tomorrow full of goodness and joy..

So reclaim your heart and do not bother about what life has damaged.. This too shall pass..

استرجع قلبك

لا شيء يحدث لنا بلا هدف—لا شيء أبدًا! حتى الأمنيات التي تمنيناها كثيرًا ولم تأت! حتى خيباتِ الأمل وانكسارِ القلوب، بل والألم النفسي كذلك! كل شيء يحدث لسببٍ ما، حتى لو كان لا يبدو على هذا النحو دائمًا.

لكن أفكلما هزمتنا الدنيا وأوجعتنا توقفنا عن حبها وابتعدنا عنها؟ بالعكس، فقط عندما نتوقف عن وضع آمالنا في الدنيا والتركيز على آلامِنا فيها..فقط عندما نتوقف عن تخيُّل الدنيا كشيئ مغاير لحقيقتها الفانية.. عندها سننتصر على الحياة وستتوقف عن إصابتنا باليأس وكسر قلوبنا!

فذلك القلب المكسور ما هو إلا تحذير بأن هناك شيئًا ما ليس على ما يُرام.. وذلك الألم النفسي ما هو إلا إشارة ربانية أن هناك ما يستدعي قيامنا بتغيير داخلي قبل أن نُصاب بخيبة الأمل…

فالدنيا إذا زهدناها اليوم، انتظرت الغد بأبوابنا وفي جعبتها كثير من الخير والفرح..

فقط استرجع قلبك ولا تبال لما أفسدته الحياة.. فسيمُر كل مُر..
