How often did it happen to you? That minute when you feel like you have fallen into the rabbit’s hole and woke up to see everything chaotic , upside down and in disorder? I am sure countless are the times.. we are frequently confronted with multiple life altering events that makes us loose track and get lost in life’s hectic rhythm… We wander and we go astray all over the places that once were our comfort zones, we panic and a thousand ideas start racing in our heads..

this sagging state of mind and being where nothing makes sense anymore, where things drift and diverge to a different reversed path, a path did we never thought we would end up journeying.. We curse and get angry at ourselves and everyone around us, thinking that the universe has ploted our fall, we think that we are snowed under a conspiracy that aims our success and the normal course that our life is taking and that s fine since we are human and sometimes a bit too human with our reactions and rage against any unplanned incident.. But if we take the time to meditate and reflect upon the situation, if we let the fever of our reason cool down to the normal temperature , we will realize that this misfortune , this curse is a blessing in desguise, that beneath this hardship lies a new opportunity for us to meet a new aspect of our identity, to grow muscles in our heart and mind, since we grow muscles only if we lift a weight that is greater than what we can afford, we will become stronger , we will be polised with every rub, it will be more like a massage to our stamina , our fortitude..

Trial and error is the most common method for us humans, to learn what to avoid and what to approve of. We are often advised to learn from others mistakes, and that is wise to do but we have the right to our own mistakes, to experience by action and not through guidance… we have the right to choose our battles and our values and to put them to the test as well, for any conviction that we do not put under the review, cannot be validated or trusted, values should be lived and not just taught or passed on.

Find your own illumination, walk around your territory, examine your beliefs and your certainties, so you can adhere to them because you lived them, it is a knowledge that you gained with your own enquiries and questioning… your slip along the road will give u the insight to avoid this fall in the future and you can say proudly I have been there but I stood up again and I made it right again.

أنا وصغير تعذبت كثير

كان طريق المدرسة بعيد عن البيت كتير

كنت اوعى  ومش عارف  إذا كنت واعي

كنت ألبس تيابي  وآخذ شنطتي إذا في داعي

كنت أمشي عالطريق تحت الشتي  وصلي لربي مليون مرة وكنت قلو  …هيئتك مش واعي

كانو السيارات يطرتشوني  بالمي

وكانو تيابي  يصيرو مبللين  والناس يشوفوني ويقولو يا حرام هالصبي خطي

وكنت أوصل عالمدرسة  بعد ما يدق الجرس بشوي

كنت فوت عالصف  وقبل ما قول صباح الخير كان يوصل لوجهي الكف

كانو ينزلو دموعي  ويوردو خدودي  ويورمو أيدي من الضرب  وكان الحزن محتل شقة  بعيني

والاستاذ  يلي بدو يعلمني التاريخ والجغرافيا والحساب والأدب العربي

كان قاسي وما كان يسأل ليش عم أتأخر وكيف وصلت عالمدرسي  وكان مفكر حالو ربي

قرفت من المدرسي  ومن الحروف  ومن الأستاذ ومن الصفوف

قلت لحالي  مش هيك الله بدو يني عيش  هيدا مش محلي أنا  أنا لازم عيش بباريس

هربت من المدرسي  وفليت وما رجعت عالبيت

وبلشت قول لرفقاتي عن أحلامي  وكيف بدي عمر بيت

كانو يفكروني فناص  بس بالرغم من هيك صدقوني  وفلو معي بس أنا فليت

طلعنا عاراس الجبل  وقال بدنا نروح عا بيروت وبعدين نطير عا باريس

مشينا ٥ كيلومتر وبلشو الولاد يجوعو ما بقى معنا أكل بالكيس

بلشو يبكو ويتزكرو أكل أمهاتن  وصارو بدن يرجعو قبل ما تصير الدني ليل

وبقيت وحدي وكفيت مشواري تا صارت الدني ليل

“ He who rejects change is the architect of decay. The only human institution which rejects progress is the cemetery  “ said Harold Wilson.

Change … what a great instructor ! once it occurs we are never the same.. whether it is a choice or a chance that serves us that plate of transformation, we are never the same once we taste it… bitter or sweet the flavor is never put to sleep… we are suddenly awaken , a smack in the face and we are forever tainted..

Growth is one of the consequences of variation and the most imperative one too… time is fluid while we are solid and that implies how painful it is to change. Every adjustment, even the most yearned for, has its  sadness, for we always leave a part of our beings with what we have left behind.. we always have to close one door before we open another.

The becoming is the nucleus of life, to discard the old in order to make way for the new, is to rejuvenate ourselves and refresh our souls… it is necesseray to be but it is never enough unless we become, we evolve into a better version of ourselves with every passing moment… to  coach ourself, to train our brain, to learn from all our experiences , to reach our potentials with every possibility we encounter , is to really become the persons we ought to be. The miracle of change spreads its magical dust upon us with every incident that happens to us or for us…

It is not what happens to us , it is what we decide to do with what happens to us that determines the orbit of our existence… to live is to constantly change, time will never stop or wait for anyone, time never passes but we do… the places never change but rather we do… and as Oscar Wilde once said:” I don’t recognize you  I have changed a lot” … we faill to communicate when we fail to observe what changes inside the people we love… it takes a real eagle eye to see the change when it happens with our beloved ones, to distinguish that change and to know how to correspond with it.. this is the real challenge and the compelling delight of successful  relationships.

There are people who have the gift of an open soul, they have the ability to make you a better person by bringing out the best in you but unfortunately there are people who spit their wicked poison and try to pour it in your heart and thus taking away from you the very core of your essence and kill any good inside your heart.

These group of persons do not add a thing to the human being you are in fact they are a waste of space , living on the margins of life, abusing and using up the energy and  the chance of life God invested in them when they were born, they are assassins of time and murderers of eternity.

They doom everything they touch, they bring nothing but cold fake emotions, they endorse their selves according to their malicious intentions, and they change their heart in synchronization with their profit. They see you as a possibility not as a value … if you serve their desires you get to see their false replica of decency and kindness… but hell will be unleashed when you no longer serve their purposes, you will be bitten by their fatal toxic teeth… a bite that is infected by all the viruses and bacteria’s of self praise and self absorbed nature, they think the sun rises and shines upon them only and that they only are worthy of the warmth of its ray light…
