I loved. I lost. So I learned to love what is never lost. Then even what I loved that can be lost was through what cannot be lost...so it was never lost.

Just as storms change the landscape of the earth, our hardships change the landscape of the heart.

There will come a day when a person would be willing to give everything they ever loved, everything they ever owned, everything they ever chased in this life, everything between the heavens and earth...just for the chance to come back here and make just one sajdah (prostration). Just one.

If you want to know what's Real, of love, of life, of loyalty, put it through the greatest test: Time.

Happiness, sadness, loss and gain all pass away. What they do to us is what remains.

Know that transformation sometimes begins with a fall. So never curse the fall.

Don't lie to me. Don't deceive me. Give me the truth. Even if it breaks me. A painful truth is better than a pleasant lie.
