People think a soul mate is your perfect fit, and that’s what everyone wants. But a true soul mate is a mirror, the person who shows you everything that is holding you back, the person who brings you to your own attention so you can change your life.

A true soul mate is probably the most important person you’ll ever meet, because they tear down your walls and smack you awake. But to live with a soul mate forever? Nah. Too painful. Soul mates, they come into your life just to reveal another layer of yourself to you, and then leave.

A soul mate’s purpose is to shake you up, tear apart your ego a little bit, show you your obstacles and addictions, break your heart open so new light can get in, make you so desperate and out of control that you have to transform your life, then introduce you to your spiritual master…

Sometimes apologizing doesn’t mean that you are wrong and the other is right. It only means that you value the relationship more than your personal ego.

Apologizing is one of the things that many people try to avoid. Some people are not brave enough to say it. They refuse to face the reality. But they are brave enough to make mistakes and betray the other person. Some people think that apology automatically puts them in the weakest position. But actually, they are already in the weakest position by the time they decided not to apologize.

Randy Pausch once said, a good apology consists of three parts:

• Say that you are sorry, e.g. I’m sorry that I hurt you
• Admit that what you did was wrong, e.g. it was my fault
• And ask the other person, how do I make it right?

The third part is the part which many people tend to forget. But it’s very essential — that’s how you see whether or not the apology is sincere.

So, when you screw up, do apologize 🙂

Pria yang memiliki kesuksesan cenderung lebih mudah berkhianat. Pria kaya dan sukses merasa bahwa dengan uang dan kekuasan, ia bisa mendapatkan segalanya semau hati dan menganggap perasaan cinta tak lagi penting.

Men who achieve success are more likely to betray or cheat their partners. A man who is wealthy and successful usually feels that, using money and power, he is able to obtain everything he wants and consider love is not important anymore.

It’s self-explanatory. And it’s so true. And I loathe it!

You can never tell what people are thinking and feeling unless they tell you, and usually they lie. you ask them, ‘Whats wrong?’ and they say ‘Nothing’. You accept this because it’s easier than digging for the truth. People smile when they want to cry, they laugh when they want to scream and shout. They pretend like nothing is wrong because they don’t want to face the truth. Things aren’t always rainbows and butterflies, sometimes you gotta scream and cry your anger and sadness to the world, because you can only hold it in for so long before something in you snaps. so when you want to cry, cry. When you want to scream, scream. Don’t hide behind fake smiles, it’s ok to not be alright!

You are the reason why even at the saddest part of my life, I smile. Even at confusion, I understand. Even in betrayal, I trust. Even in fear of pain, I love.

Ramadhan is the (month) in which was sent down the Qur’an, as a guide to mankind, also clear (Signs) for guidance and judgment (between right and wrong). So every one of you who is present (at his home) during that month should spend it in fasting, but if any one is ill, or on a journey, the prescribed period (Should be made up) by days later. Allah intends every facility for you; He does not want to put to difficulties. (He wants you) to complete the prescribed period, and to glorify Him in that He has guided you; and perchance ye shall be grateful.

— Al-Qur’an 2:185

Ramadhan kareem! Kullu 3am wa antum be7air 🙂

One day You will take my heart completely and make it more fiery than a dragon. Your eyelashes will write on my heart the poem that could never come from the pen of a poet.
