Save The Drop For Tomorrow

 

An early morning of June 2075, when the world is dipped in silence, a blackout, and everything around, gives the message of grief. The winds were dancing when Grandpa was lying on the bed coughing his lungs out, badly wanting the whole ocean to drink to satisfy his thirst but praying for just a drop of water for his dry throat as his throat had been dried for ages.

He called upon his worried 15-year-old grandson who was already thriving here and there for water and said: Ali, my dear, just give me a drop of water or I am going to die like…., the cough didn’t let him complete his sentence.

Ali without saying anything ran to the tap as he was checking it for the first time but within an hour it was his 1000th check. He wished that a single drop may come out of it but he was wrong, it was dry but it was not as dry as their throats. He went out of the house in search of a drop of water. He came back after an hour and told his grandpa: “ There is no more water in the world. It’s THE END.

With these words, Grandpa drowned in a deep ocean of flashbacks. The flashback, where he sees himself standing in front of the basin while brushing his teeth, not turning the tap off and letting the water go in vain. The flashback, where he sees that the water is flowing when the maid while putting soap on dishes lets the water go in vain. The flashback, where he sees that the water flows and flows when his father is washing his car, and his phone rings and he gets busy talking for minutes and doesn’t even think of turning the tap off and letting the water go in vain. The flashback where he sees himself ignoring the leaky pipe not taking action and letting the water go in vain. The flashback where he considers himself a criminal wasting water while taking long long showers. And thousands of flashbacks he got of his life where he saw all that water going in vain and regretting and wishing that if, and only if.

The choice is yours, Save water and live to the fullest, or keep wasting water and die soon.

Save that little drop of water before it’s too late because a little drop of water makes the mighty ocean.

The Key To Contentment.

Image
We always search and strive for happiness but that is only a dopamine rush and not a lasting feeling. You may have experienced most of the times that you are happy and everything in life is okay but then you find yourself being sad over nothing, right? It is because we can’t stay happy always, we have to feel sad even if there is nothing to be worried about. Now the real thing is “THE CONTENTMENT” which is a lasting feeling and basically its contentment that our soul looks for always. Contentment is being happy and satisfied with what you already have. Thus, what I’ve discovered to be the secrets of contentment and setting your empty heart at ease are discussed below. Do what is in Your Capacity. You know what matters? What matters is actually doing what is in your capacity. How can you expect yourself to do something you aren’t capable of? And how come you expect yourself to do less than you are capable of and sitting guilt free? Let me tell you a story , a story which is not fabricat...

DIY-Do It Yourself.

  “It takes half your life before you discover life is a DO-IT-YOURSELF project .” (NAPOLEON HILL.) We came into this world alone, and we will go alone, so, in between this coming and going alone, we need to learn to live alone and do everything ourselves that we want others to do for us. Do it yourself what you expect others to do for you. When everyone leaves, the closest of all even, you only have yourself, you have to do everything by yourself, from gathering yourself up to taking care of your happiness yourself. “You do it because making yourself proud is one of the best feelings in the world .” One life-changing quote for me was: “ Expect nothing from people and you will be the happiest” This quote is so reality-based although it seems very easy but utmost difficult to do but once u know the art of nothing to expect and just give you will see yourself hitting a jackpot. Expect from your own self, push yourself, do everything for yourself, and give yourself the best...

Al-Khabeer: The All-Aware.

Image
  When do we start loving someone? When we got to know them, right? So we know that Allah is our creator but we don’t know him the way we should. We actually don’t know much about Allah. You may recite daily the 99 names of Allah or may have memorized them but we can never feel that special kind of affection for Allah until we know about him, until we know and understand all his attributes deeply. All of the 99 attributes of Allah are special and each has a special type of comfort but my most favorite attribute of Allah is AL-KHABEER: THE ALL ACQUAINTED, THE ALL AWARE. Al-Khabeer, the knower of reality. How beautiful is it to know that someone is all aware, all aware of our good and bad and still loves us the most and that someone is not someone ordinary, He is the creator of you and me, the creator of this entire universe, the creator of this beautiful world. When we go somewhere, a beautiful place we get amazed and admired by the beauty of the nature of this world, and how beauti...
