Learning from Nature
Chapter 1 – The ocean taught me …
How often do we not see or visit this mighty creation?
Learning from Nature: How often do we not just stand by, looking at the undulations of the waves and let our deepest thoughts run through our minds? How often do we not visit the seaside, all around the world, simply to take a break from the usual?
Ever looked at the ocean and reflected? Thought? Pondered?
Pondered over the Creator and how mighty He is to have created such a creation, leaving no doubt toof His divinity? Ever thought, hopefully, that no sin is too big for Him to forgive? Ever looked at the beauty of the waves and reflected over them?
The waves come back and forth. They can be likened to the challenges we face, all of different sizes, throughout the day and night. They come and never stay. They go back into the ocean. And do the waves ever cease?
No. They come and go, but the ocean never ever loses its untold beauty. Like how challenges in your journey will come and go, they will never cease.
They’re only placed in your path to make you learn, to make you more beautiful at heart and more understanding of what you should be. Your difficult times will never be pinned to your path.
Learn from them, go on and don’t stress over what’s not in your control. Ironically, we would never know happiness without sadness, we wouldn’t know the beauty of smiles without the miserable tears and we wouldn’t know how to appreciate a comforted heart without heartbreak.
Just like the ocean wouldn’t have been just as beautiful without the continuous splashing of its waves against the shore. But the ocean never ever loses its untold beauty. Like how challenges in your journey will come and go, they will never cease.
They’re only placed in your path to make you learn, to make you more beautiful at heart and more understanding of what you should be. Your difficult times will never be pinned to your path.

Just like the ocean wouldn’t have been just as beautiful without the continuous splashing of its waves against the shore.
Always, always remind yourself that Allah has promised ease with every difficulty, happiness after sadness and prosperity after misfortune. Then again, if Allah has promised, He being the greatest keeper of promises, He will never allow a sincere servant to despair. So, be patient and hope for reward.
