[We hear a lot about blessing others, being good to friends, complimenting a family member, helping a neighbor. That's all good, we should bless others, but it's also important to bless yourself. When we hear bless yourself that can sound odd, self-centered. "I can't bless myself, I want somebody else to bless me”. We can invoke blessings on ourselves by speaking. In salat we say, 'Peace on us and the pious ones'. Assalamu `alaina wa `ala `ibadillahis shalihin السلام علينا وعلى عباد الله الصالحين

We can bless ourselves by saying, "I am strong, I am talented, I am healthy, I am valuable, I am generous". Those are not just positive affirmations; you invoke blessings on yourself. When you speak it out, you give life to what you're saying. It's not enough to just think this. You don't bless yourself by just dwelling on positive thoughts. Nothing happens until you speak. When you say "I am blessed", blessings come looking for you. When you say "I am prosperous", good breaks start heading your way. When you say "I am healthy", health starts tracking you down.

Now start blessing yourself. When you're tempted to say something negative, turn it around. "You're not attractive" -> "I am greatly created". "You've made too many mistakes" -> "I have repented".
(إِنَّ اللّهَ يُحِبُّ التَّوَّابِينَ وَيُحِبُّ الْمُتَطَهِّرِينَ2:222 Verily, God loves those who turn unto Him in repentance and He loves those who keep themselves pure.)

"You'll never be successful. You'll never reach your limit" -> "I am surrounded by fortune. Almighty has taken me from noble to noble. My latter days will be better than my former days".

Are you blessing yourself or are you cursing yourself? You have a purpose to fulfill, there's a calling on your life, an assignment that only you can accomplish. We need what you have. We need your capabilities. We need your talent. We need your smile. We need your love. This world won't be as bright a place as it should be without you shining, living the full bright life that you were created to live.]

[Medical research has found that almost 85% of all diseases are psychosomatic in nature i.e, they originate in negative mental states.

99% of the population is afraid of public speaking, and of the remaining 1%, 99% of them have nothing original and interesting to say.]

[In order to learn from mistakes, you have to own up to them. Oftentimes, people look to blame others for their errors or they try to minimize their perceived responsibility in it. But acknowledging your mistakes doesn’t have to be a huge ordeal (a very unpleasant and prolonged experience). You can just admit fault and move on.]

[There are two kinds of people; those who do the work and those who take the credit. Be in the first group; there is much less competition.]

[Potatoes, Eggs and Coffee Beans

The potato went in strong, hard and unrelenting, but in boiling water, it became soft and weak. The egg was fragile, with the thin outer shell protecting its liquid interior until it was put in the boiling water. Then the inside of the egg became hard. However, the ground coffee beans were unique. After they were exposed to the boiling water, they changed the water and created something new.]
