TRY TO BE YOURSELF......THERE IS NONE LIKE YOU !

As-Salaam-O-alaykum, wa Rahmatullah wa Barakatuh.

All praises for Allah Karim; Whom we must worship for 'Him Alone' ! Darood-o-Salam on Prophet ﷺ because Allah Karim ordained us to do that ! Peace upon Prophet's (ﷺ) family, company, successors and those who follow his path.

I think it was 2009 that I came across Paulo Coelho's Best Selling 'THE ALCHEMIST' and developed an instant liking for the Man and respect for what he writes, which is 'living', 'beautiful', 'absorbing' and extremely REFLECT-ABLE. There are lot of people around who at one time or another feel that THEY ARE DONE; ITS ALL OVER, ABSOLUTELY INUTILE THEY ARE......this is for them all.....straight from Paulo:

"Ask a flower in the field:

‘Do you feel useful? After all, you do nothing but produce the same flowers over and over?’

And the flower will answer:

‘I am beautiful, and beauty is my reason for living.’

Ask the river:

‘Do you feel useful, given that all you do is to keep flowing in the same direction?’

And the river will answer:

‘I’m not trying to be useful, I’m trying to be a river.’

Nothing in this world is useless in the eyes of God. Not a leaf from a tree falls, not a hair from your head, not even an insect dies because it was of no use. Everything has a reason to exist.

Even you, the person asking the question. ‘I’m useless’ is the answer you give yourself.

Soon that answer will poison you and you will die while still alive, even though you still walk, eat, sleep and try to have a little fun whenever possible.

Don’t try to be useful. Try to be yourself:
