"GET OFF THE SCALE!" *You are beautiful.* Your beauty, just like your capacity for life, , and success, is . Day after day, countless people across the globe get on a scale in search of validation of beauty and social .

Get off the scale! I have yet to see a scale that can tell you how enchanting your eyes are.
I have yet to see a scale that can show you how wonderful your hair looks when the sun shines its glorious rays on it.
I have yet to see a scale that can thank you for your , sense of humor, and .
Get off the scale because I have yet to see one that can admire you for your when in life.

It’s true, the scale can only give you a numerical of your relationship with . That’s it.
It cannot measure , , , life force, possibility, strength, or love. Don’t give the scale more than it has earned. Take note of the number, then get off the scale and live your life.

You are beautiful!

There are days when we get so caught up in life and when we forget that we don't always have to be busy in our lives.

We don't always need to be checking our feeds, emails, texts, and cell phones. We need to remind ourselves that it's absolutely okay and necessary to slow down things a bit.

It's okay to take a break and enjoy the beauty of this world.

To turn off your phones and simply be together.

To ask our friends and kids what they are wondering about.

To enjoy a walk or a sunset with a bunch of friends. To call our loved ones, our family, our parents, and distant friends.

To watch the beauty of sunrises. To enjoy the smell of burning candles and bonfires.

We need to remind ourselves never to forget the little things in life because they are never as little as we think of them.

When we feel jealous of another's achievements, we can do one of two things:
We can concretize our own sense of inferiority by pretending that the issue is an external one- diminishing the other in a self-defeating effort to elevate ourselves- or we can see our reaction as a reflection of our longing to actualize our own unique gifts.

When we are triggered by another's blessings, it says much more about us than it does about them.

So Better to process the projection as information about what you long to accomplish.

Better to use the reaction as fire for your own ambitions. And if comparison serves you, don't waste your time comparing yourself to others.

Better to compare yourself to where you were yesterday.

There is a whole treasure chest of possibilities living inside you waiting to be actualized.....

And little time to waste!

It’s important to meet people where they are, not where we want them to be.
There is a tendency, in many, to re-characterize people’s experiences without being asked.

You tell them you are feeling badly, they tell you all the reasons you should feel good.

You tell them you are challenged by your circumstances, they tell you what they think you can do to make things easier.

You tell them that you have a plan to do something, they offer up another plan for you.

There is a place for these offerings- particularly when requested- but often times they just make things worse.

In fact, we are more likely to arrive at the next best place on our journeys when someone actually attunes to where we are at, without making any effort to improve upon or re-frame it.

We don't need to be saved- we need to be seen.

That's the healing, right there.
I hear you, I see you, I honor your choices, goes a long, long way...

"Wouldn't it be powerful if you fell in love with yourself so deeply that you would do just about anything if you knew it would make you happy? This is precisely how much life loves you and wants you to nurture yourself. The deeper you love yourself, the more the universe will affirm your worth. Then you can enjoy a lifelong love affair that brings you the richest fulfilment from inside out."

It's not always that we need to do more but rather that we need to focus on less.

Are you chasing perfection?
Our people around
has been relentless in promoting all sorts of perfection.

The perfect hair
perfect group of friends
perfect body,
and what is supposedly,
the perfect life.

But what society is projecting isn’t really perfection. It is only what they want us to think or see. They tell us what we should be like, when in reality, all we should ever want to be is ourselves.

A better version of who we are now, yes, but still essentially ourselves.

Those who try to chase perfection find themselves running in circles, because since perfection doesn’t really exist, they are trying to achieve what is unattainable.

Why that is so?

Is, because the definition of perfection varies from person to person as we all have different views, making it impossible to find a single type of perfection that everyone agrees on.

It is unrealistic to expect a person to be perfect, because we, no matter where we come from, or who we are, still are human, at the end of the day.

Even in mass production, nothing is ever perfect. Mistakes, thankfully, do not define us – it is how we pick ourselves back up again, and the vigor in our perseverance.

Chasing perfection and aiming to be the best you can be are two completely different things altogether.

While we can’t be perfect, nor should we try to be, we should put our best foot forward in everything that we do.

Trying to do your best can’t do anything but propel you forward.

It is a force that pushes us ahead, and aspirations to be the best that you can be should be what keeps you going.

No!! Perfection is never demanded to become the best version of you. @ Sialkot, Punjab

*The first step*

of your journey might be scary, but it is also full of so much possibility and wonder.

It is full of excitement at all that could happen and faith that whatever is meant to happen, will happen.

It might be hard to take that first step , but don't let that fear keep you from starting.

Don't let the fear keep you from feeling the excitement and wonder at everything in front of you, because I promise that once you take that first step, you'll never look back. @ Bar b q tonight sialkot

Mainly, I'm not an Eastern Person but what this eid made me realize is, being traditional and wearing eastern is a real thing!

I avoid earnings more often but it really makes you look more vibrant n attractive, if carried with sense.

My experience was good enough to practice it each year n explore about it.

Really wanted to carry bangles but couldn't get in time.
So, that was the major missing.
Hope you all had a great eid. @ Eid UL Azha 2020

WHEN YOU ARE SUCCESSFUL EVERYONE WANTS TO BE AT YOUR SIDE.......

Why not when you're facing a downfall?

It’s important to meet people where they are, not where we want them to be.

There is a tendency, in many, to re-characterize people’s experiences without being asked.

You tell them you are feeling badly, they tell you all the reasons you should feel good.

You tell them you are challenged by your circumstances, they tell you what they think you can do to make things easier.

You tell them that you have a plan to do something, they offer up another plan for you.

There is a place for these offerings- particularly when requested- but often times they just make things worse.

In fact, we are more likely to arrive at the next best place on our journeys when someone actually attunes (adjust) to where we are at, without making any effort to improve upon or re-frame it.

We don't need to be saved- we need to be seen.

That's the healing, right there.

I honor your choices, goes a long, long way.....

At some point in life you will look
back on your journey and may ask yourself the question, which part mattered to me the most?
Yes, life gave way to some unexpected pain at times when there was just no stomach for it.
The heartache of grief felt like a concrete cross you had to carry over mountains.
Then there were days you learned about things the hard way, feeling the sting of regret a time or two, although you may not care to admit it.
Even so, you’re likely
to treasure each triumphant victory and playfully recall the twinkling markers of time.
Because you were blessed to be uplifted and became familiar with being let down.
You walked through fire
and danced with elation.
And though you may have stumbled more times than you can count, you held the space and kept the faith.

All the while, with a fearless and
tenacious heart, you forged ahead, holding everything and everyone you ever loved inside a precious world where gratitude spread like blooming wildflowers alongside gushing streams of joy.

Even when it hurt you persevered,
as your light burned fiercely and bright. It wasn’t all for naught, and in the end, you’ll embrace the entire panorama and kiss the ineffable bliss as you declare the final answer:

I lived. And it ALL mattered.

Who Am I????

"Who am I, you ask?
I'm made from
all the people I've encountered
and all the things I have experienced...

Inside, I hold the laughter of my friends,the arguments with my parents,the chattering of young children, and the warmth from kind strangers.

Inside, there are stitching from cracked hearts, bitter words from heated arguments, music that gets me through, and emotions I can't convey,

I AM MADE FROM
ALL THESE PEOPLE AND MOMENTS..

"THAT IS WHO I AM"

'Let's break the beauty standards'

How do you think the idea is?

I merely want us to completely embrace ourselves afterall we all are perfect in our imperfections.

It's US who make the STANDARDS and later suffer the consequences.

BECAUSE the primary cause of our unhappiness is not only our thoughts but our indigested emotional material.

We try to digest but somewhere we lose our courage to keep them inside.

We often hear

❎ Skinny

❎ Hey see how obese is she/he

❎ Don't mind but i only like FAIR PEOPLE

❎ Getting judged over our appearances

❎ Look at the way she/he walks

❎ She/he doesn't know how to dress

❎ Who's gonna marry her/him

❎ Her/His nose 😱

❎ The way she/he talks 🤣

❎ Her/ His Hair 😱

Wait....
Let me remind you beauty is all about being confident, being kind, being helpful, being humble, being successful, being courageous n above all

BEING A HUMAN!

We can't utter a single word against Almighty's Creation.

Religion matters as much today as it ever did.

So if you are religious, try not to be as pleased when minorities are not given their rights,bashed and not provided equal opportunities.

We are humans first and the rest of our identities come after, whether informed by a HOLY BOOK, culture, race, s*x, a favourite football team or anything else.

Our reflection on religious freedom more generally must include respecting the choices that people make – but crucially it should also include respecting and enhancing people’s freedom to choose at all.

If someone is coerced or otherwise led into impoverishing or demeaning themselves in the name of religion, our default attitude towards that should not be tolerance for the sake of respecting religion.

Being a MUSLIM our first value is to demolish each of the factor, contributes in prevailing hatred.

❇️BE KIND

❇️BE PATIENT

❇️DIVIDE EQUALLY

❇️NOBODY IS SUPERIOR

❇️GIVE RIGHTS TO THE MINORITIES

These are all our basic values so act accordingly and don't spread hate and support the minorities irrespective of caste, creed, religion and color.

We all are unsure of how longer would this pandemic last.

We all are genuinely facing the phase which was never expected.

The situation is worrisome and threatening which ultimately is causing panic and anxiety.

Dear Insta Fam!
I'm here to remind you, ALLAH (THE MOST OMNIPOTENT) is a best planner and HE has already written who is going to bid say GOOD BYE for eternity.
Instead of getting panicked, we all need to bow before ALMIGHTY n seek forgiveness.

After every storm there's a calm.
After every suffering there's a heal.

We can't deny the fact that we shall pass too and Nobody knows who's next.

Can we get an escape from death?
Nay, if it's our time, its ours.

So, stop being worried and pray which will ease our pain and satisfy our heart.

Following SOPs and staying home is the only option with us.

My feed is filled with the Demise of deaths.
I'm unable to figure it out why we people don't want to listen?

Are we keeping that foolish mindset which believes walking blindly brings us no harm?

Before Eid, there was a high alert to keep ourselves safe and not to roam around for shopping.

Did we limit ourselves?
A BIG NO!
We kept on rushing outlets to grab our favorite outfits.

29 deaths were reported in punjab.

What the difference did it make if you were wearing a BRAND NEW outfit?
What did it bring you?
Nothing other than the increase in deaths and cases.

I myself worn an old outfit and believe you me it didn't harm me.
I worn my old pair of shoe n it didn't bite my toe.
I carried my old jewelry n it didn't fade my skin.

Yet to remind

If your brother is not saved from you; you'd verily be asked.

💠 Please stop harming others.

DEXU was born innocent but in real, 😕 A BIG NO! would not sacrifice his innocence.
He can scare you in no time.
N if you're doubting his affection for me......
No no no way, he would p*e outside the room if he wants to meet mom n i the door is not opened.

If you're trying to figure out how come.
Here it is,
He has the guts to reach my hair n pull them mischievously if I'm ignoring him. 😉

I'm a proud cat mom who has Dexu in life.

I'm a type of person who is positivity sucker and i don't choose to opt negativity even if there's.

Despite of the current pandemic and plane crash which is distressing for all of us i took a moment to dress up for EID UL FITR and be thankful for everything we r blessed with regardless life is precious and we should be grateful of each breathing moment.

The Lockdown is lifted up and we are free to go wherever we want to.
I request you all to
Be Ware of precautions and practice staying safer for YOU, YOUR FAMILY AND OTHERS.
Here,

And Above All if you are financially stable, don't forget the ones who are barely in need of a single meal today.

We all can manage to carry good clothes this EID if not needed kindly don't step out.

Individual contributions are needed and its our moral responsibility not to be the cause of any harm to others.

Please:
1) Wear Mask before you go outside
2) Put on Gloves
3) Keep Social Distancing in mind
4) Don't rush to malls
5) Contribute from your side

P. S: This pic was taken before pandemic as I'm sensitive to allergies i always put on mask n carry gloves with me.

Please Keep the poors in mind n support them any possible way.

Stay Safe! ✨✨

Pain is inevitable!

The only fact which connects us with people is PAIN.

Suffering could be a choice which throws everything (and I mean everything) out of balance. We become emotionally, psychologically, spiritually and physically out of whack.

But we've the choices to turn sufferings into our strengths.

I met .official09 last year n his will power was unimaginary.
He had not given up yet and become stronger than ever.
And i loved his enthusiasm and positivity towards life.

Surrounded by little downfalls, some hurdles, some sorrows and griefs oft we start considering there's nothing remained for us now.
We put all of our energy assuming 'SORROWS AND GRIEFS' being our fate.

And once we find someone progressing around us we begin to measure our performances by tending to confuse our scales with them.
Here,
We slumped ourselves into deep dejection.

We can't measure ourselves by using someone else's scale as we never know what their life had brought them.
In self dejection we adversely get our confidence affected for years to come.
Hopelessness resides within us.

We forget to pay gratitude to little blessings in life perhaps LIFE IS NEVER BEEN A TITLE TO SHORTCOMINGS!

All we need to focus is:
1) Where we are today?
2) What achievements we've accomplished?
3) How far we can go by opting little steps?
4) Where we are meant to be?
5) What would reach us there?
6) Are you getting all the support you require for?
7) How much potential we need to put in?
And
8) Lastly, does it really worth the wait and effort?

Give yourself time to put effort in.
We can't compare a business tycoon and a jobless person.
We can't idolise a celebrity if you never mean to be.
We can't disappoint ourselves by knowing the success story of a well-known person and start to criticise.
If you really want to compare, compare it wisely with your own obstacles you've ever faced and how did you come over them.

WHERE ARE YOU TODAY?
IS YOUR TODAY BETTER THAN YESTERDAY?

Set goals
Set your targets
Highlight your MISSION
Seek help
Achieve little steps
You'll ultimately get motivated

Be thankful for what you've today and if your today's is better than yesterday believe you me your TOMORROW would be BEST!

I get this Question more often!
If we're suffering from an ailment (which we know is non-recoverable) does it mean to give up on life and start be wailing?
My Faith In OMNIPOTENT is strong enough which gives me a Hope.
The hope of recovery
The hope of being active (I used to be),
The hope of liveliness and above all 'THE HOPE OF DOING SOMETHING FOR THE VICTIMS'

Yet I've not left living my life.....
● I'm still chasing my dreams.
● I'm still trying to do something out a world.
● I'm still smiling but the pain is never ending.

The day you manage to smile inspite of the hardships you're facing it means your soul is refusing to be prisoner of your sorrows/pains.
😊
Smiling is what grounds me; it stabilizes and makes me feel more in control every day.
It reminds me that, despite the fast pace of life, I must always remember to be happy and appreciate the little things happening in my life.

And that really uplifts me to overcome the times of fear, anxiety and grief I've bottled up within.

Sometimes, when I'm with no words, I SMILE ,thats all which is need to fill the air.

Indeed, its the universal sign of happiness and I believe it is the ultimate connection between all humankind.
No matter how big or small, if a smile is genuine it creates an ineffable feeling within people.

I'm the person to believe in the power of a smile:
■ to enrich the happiest experiences in life.
■ to transcend all barriers between individuals and to create special moments in life.

In this prolonged suffering, I totally forgot how to smile but there were days when my single smile connected me with people.

Can never forget the things we are blessed with, in pain but to be thankful for.

“Live your life for you not for anyone else. Don’t let the fear of being judged, rejected or disliked stop you from being yourself” ~Sonya Parker

I am a sucker for saying yes

Sometimes I even find myself thinking “no, no, no” and then I blurt out “yes.”

Why is it so difficult to say the word “no”? It’s just a word, right?

After feeling trapped for some time by my excessive urge to be agreeable, it got me thinking.

I asked myself why it was so important for me to please everyone, to the point that I would feel resentful and stressed because of it.

I realized I was afraid of saying no because my biggest fear is rejection. I was afraid that every time I did this, I would disappoint someone, make them angry, hurt their feelings, or appear unkind or rude.

Having people think negatively of me is the ultimate rejection.

👀 And so I realized exactly why I found it so difficult to say no.
👀 I realize this is not just a challenge that I face, but one that many people go through every day.
👀 It’s a heavy burden to carry because with the urge to say yes also comes a lack of self-confidence and self-value.

If, like me, you’re having trouble saying no, this may help.

1. Be direct, such as “no, I can’t” or “no, I don’t want to.”
2. Don’t apologize and give all sorts of reasons.
3. Don’t lie. Lying will most likely lead to guilt—and remember, this is what you are trying to avoid feeling.
4. Remember that it is better to say no now than be resentful later.
5. Be polite, such as “Thanks for asking.”
Practice saying no.
6. Imagine a scenario and then practice saying no either by yourself or with a friend. This will get you feeling a lot more comfortable with saying no.
7. Don’t say “I’ll think about it” if you don’t want to do it. This will just prolong the situation and make you feel even more stressed.
8. Remember that your self-worth does not depend on how much you do for other people.
Learning to say no has been one of the best things I have done for myself. Not only has it challenged me to overcome my fear of rejection, it has helped me to feel in control.

I don’t feel trapped, resentful, or guilty anymore. Instead, I feel empowered and free.

New experiences would definitely lead you to the heights of novelty and you'll ultimately become more challenging and creative.
Trying new things can be undoubtedly daunting. The unfamiliar makes us nervous in a way that’s hard to describe. The act of leaving our comfort zone puts us in a vulnerable position, and leaves us with an onslaught of questions running through our heads.
°
°
°
We ask ourselves:
“Should I be doing this?
Can I do this?
Do I look stupid?
What am I doing!?”

While it may not feel like it, this is normal—and it’s good.

All too often we let the fear of the unknown stop us.

°
°
°
But pushing ourselves out of our comfort zones is actually good for us.
Trying new things not only helps us to vanquish those fears, but it also allows us to expand our minds and learn—both about said new thing, and about ourselves.

04/04/2020

When I was a teenager, I was shy, fearful, and self-conscious like many kids at that age are. I hated drawing attention to myself. I just wanted to blend in. I hated trying anything new being afraid of rejection (faced since my childhood)
Trying something new meant I would be unsure of myself (even more unsure of myself than I already was).

It meant that I might fail.
▪I might look stupid.
▪I might embarrass myself.
▪I might need to ask a question.
▪I most definitely would feel vulnerable.
▪Might it not suit me
▪Possibly, my looks would come up weird.

Nay (fearfully) Nay (i shouldn't do this)
This was too high a risk for my young teenage self.
So I gave myself the freedom to avoid those situations at all costs.
This seemed like a wise decision to me. I remember feeling a great liberation in the fact that I could choose to avoid being uncomfortable would avoid humans at most.
YES ( that's the only solution)
This would be a vast improvement in my life.
This would drastically reduce the number of butterflies in my stomach that I would have to endure but In all that I forgot Trying new things is scary.
➡It’s hard.
➡It’s risky.
But it’s also how we grow.
It’s how we learn.
It’s how we decide what we like and what we don’t like.
It’s how we get better at being uncomfortable.
The older we get the easier it is to stay in our comfort zone. The harder it is to put ourselves out there and take a risk.

ℹ People who try new things live the happiest and healthiest lives.**

"The best moments in our lives are not the passive, receptive, relaxing times…
The best moments usually occur if a person’s body or mind is stretched to its limits in a voluntary effort to accomplish something difficult and worthwhile.”

A housekeeper or maid is an individual who *HELPS OUT* with cleaning and other projects around the house. Light housekeeping cleaning duties maintain an orderly and company-ready home to ensure cleanliness and peace of mind.

Among them, majority is illiterate and unaware of basic knowledge. They never bother anything except to work and get their basic necessities (food, shelter, clothes)fulfilled. Few are part time while others work the whole day, resided at their owner's.

It's our major responsibility during this pandemic to educate them.
And for those who are working home to home should be granted leave to ensure the safety.

⚠From house to house it could be proved disastrous.

🔷They are the keepers and responsible for our homes chores, peace, cleanliness and calm.

🔷They cook to provide us food no matter how much they could have been craving to eat that for longer.
They do a lot for us even if we pay there left the relation of humanity.
🔶Ensure them to get paid of the leave otherwise they might find some other means to earn in order to run their families.
🔷Provide some basic food n aid if you're unable to pay the whole.
🔶Introduce them to some welfare or donation centres.
🔷Make sure they stay safe and at home.
🔶Share precautionary measures and consequences if they don't follow.

For those resided at owner's must not be kicked away if you find them having symptoms.
Get their tests done and
