If you’ve been raised on a diet of fear and compliance, it is inevitable that your choices will reflect your fears, and not your dreams
Fear destroys hope and replaces it with futility.
In the face of futility, we resort to compliance, because compliance provides us with familiarity.
Familiarity tethers us to rituals, traditions, and behaviours that feed the cycle that sustains the power of fear.
That is, the cycle of compliance at all costs.
When compliance becomes the objective, blind following becomes the method, and critical thinking is set aside in favour of inclusion.
The need for inclusion destroys dreams, breaks hearts, and damages souls, leaving in its wake a field of martyrs who surrender their joy in the face of futility, not realising that it is fear that breeds futility, and not overwhelming odds.
Be courageous, brave soul. Self-imposed martyrdom is not the only path to peace. In fact, it defeats that very goal.

Don’t let fear win

Tears
Tears hold no value if left to dry on their own.
It’s the gentle touch that wipes it away
That fulfils its yearning
Be gentle with yourself, beloved
The world mocks the extraordinary
Because ordinary is safer for meek souls
(a snip of things to come in my new novel, Taqdeer, A Dance With Destiny)

The beauty of perfection
The beauty of perfection escapes the bitter heart.
Bitterness is the toxin that we hold on to after we experience a betrayal of our trust in another.
Sometimes that trust is so dear, that we hold on to the poison of its mishandling to protect ourselves from ever being vulnerable to such hurt again.
Sadly, in doing so, we also deny ourselves the opportunity to experience the beauty that may be the remedy to heal the wound of that unkind betrayal.
Thus, we anchor ourself in the same past that we wish we could forget, or undo.
Inevitably, the ones who offer the beauty that we need to breathe fully again are the ones who receive the caustic treatment intended to protect us from such future pain.
Without realising it, we pay the pain forward, and become part of the cycle that stole our innocence by destroying the innocence of another.
Break the cycle, beautiful soul. Break the cycle. It will raise your station above the toxic one so that you won’t find yourself looking at the world from their vantage point any longer.
