....but sometimes perhaps it would be nice to look in the mirror and remind ourselves that we need to be awesome before we think we can help others become awesome. 

I saw this video a while ago. Some people think they look better than they actually do. Some people think they look worse than they do. 

Sometimes it might be a good idea to get a picture of yourself and be realistic about your qualities for self improvement.

Words of wisdom from inspiring people

"Ilm (knowledge) is not memorization of lines from a book or storing mass information in memory, a computer can hold masses and masses of information, rather knowledge is internalization of the sacred texts, knowledge is presence of Rūh (soul) and Hāl (state), information that is not internalized and practiced is just information, not real Ilm and has no benefit, the whole purpose is to be transformed."

- Sayyidi Shaykh Dr. Muhammad bin Yahya al-Husayni al-Ninowy

The laptop in my lap.

I'm using the laptop in my lap fully aware that there is a very high possibility it might just explode and catch fire.

A while ago, I realised that when i plugged the laptop charger into my laptop it wouldn't charge and that I needed to position it perfectly for it to work.

There was also a time when I tried pulling the charger out and screamed OUCH because of how hot it had become. I had to use my sleeve to pull it out because I thought I would burn my fingers.

I've even had occassions when I pull out the plug from the extension lead and I can see some sparks, but I just pretend that I'm seeing things and continue with what i'm doing.

Transcend the Ordinary

A stone cannot learn to rise up to the sky even if you were to toss it into the air a thousand times.

Likewise, a flame from a campfire cannot descend into the ground.

Habits are part of the automatic actions of our everyday lives, though we are conscious of them. They are like a hidden memory bank that instructs us how to carry out the all the actions needed to accomplish most of what we want to do.

This is why Aristotle regarded habits as a “second nature” which ultimately refers back to the “primary nature” or instinct. The difference is that habits are learned behaviors while instincts are innate.
