Waiting For Santa!

C hristmas is around the corner. Children are eagerly waiting for Santa to fill their holidays with toys and things they want. Play the Roles How Santa plays his role of being kind and giving, we should play the same and better role when needed. When our family and friends need us, we need to be there for them. We should have a big heart and give without any expectations or returns. What About Us?! Why can’t we be happy ourselves as well? Why do we need a season of Holidays for that? As we have many times and read everywhere that happiness is from within, then why is everything outside in our life is hay wire and problematic? Every problem has a solution but that solution may not either occur to us due to us worrying about it or we may not like that solution or we have to give up or lose something we have built or worked hard for. The more we are honest about our thoughts, motives, wants and duties the more our lives become better. We like to live in a glass house and are afraid of stones hitting us. But we believe that we have houses of strong cement and brick but they are not sticking together in unity. Which is why the outside atmosphere affects us. We must build our inner self with the guidance of Allah. The Parents and Elders The parents are in this life our brick that hold us together. They teach good qualities like truthfulness, honesty and hard, sincere work with their own behaviour. In our every day life, when we see our elders living life we observe them, we learn from them and we understand many wisdoms without it being told to us. Action Speaks Louder Than Words Even when children are young they get all impressions of their family atmosphere on their conscious and subconscious mind. Many things they realise later on but they do know many attributes, qualities and rules without spelling them. If we want our children to grow up as ambitious and kind souls we must first fix ourselves and not be surprised how they turn out in their teenage years. They are a reflection of us. No Short-Cut to Better Living Let us become good motivational people, help others, be cheerful and positive, spread kindness and joy and make others happy.
