I want you to always take good care of yourself for me because you mean the world to me.

I will take care of myself for you, promise you will take care of yourself for me.

Knowing yourself is the beginning of all wisdom.

It is the mark of an educated mind to be able to entertain a thought without accepting it.

We only need the faith of Hazrat Dawood AS, then only a slingshot and few stones are enough to defeat Jaloots.

He was not from an influential family, had no regular army training but with his faith he won the battle.

The great speech lifts hearts in dark times, gives hope in despair, refines the characters of men, inspires brave feats (acts of notable skill, strength; achievement, accomplishment, master stroke, triumph, enterprise, venture, endeavor, effort, performance, move), gives courage to the weary, honors the dead, and can change the course of history.

Maybe Impossible to Insult Me In order to insult me, you'd need my permission, make sure, I've permitted you to insult me. There is chance your opinion has no value for me. 6,500 languages are spoken in the world. Make sure, I know your language? I'm a person of different world. Don't waste your time. Insult someone else. I've some important appointments; I'm going to talk to Allah SWT (I'm standing for prayers). After that Allah SWT is talking to me (I'm reciting Holy Quran). I've no time for you. Just go, insult someone else.

How Can We Improve Our Place Wherever We Live; Mindset is like a fired brick. Brick is made from mud. We learn from our environment. To learn more or different, we have to move from our place. In old times new tips used to in books but now there is electronic media also. World is 6000 million years old (6 arab years), electricity is 120 years old. Train and electricity was the invention which gave birth to Russian Empire. We can learn lot from cell phone and YouTube. Record and upload your inquiry on YouTube, your wish list. They will become strong or smoke. You want to visit some place. But once you see that place on YouTube you may rethink. This world is full of such experiences; like marriage etc. Once we go through it, we may change our point of view. Medical, sanitation, water treatment, food; mindset, you can wish anything. You can get even more information as compared to physical visit. Now villagers can visit big malls, USA, UAE, UK, Saudi King Palace.

Speech is better than Silence; Speech is better than Silence Ali ibn Abi Talib, may Allah be pleased with him, said, “There is no good in silence when it comes to knowledge, just as there is no good in speaking when it comes to ignorance. A person asked the Imam Zayn al-‘Abidin, peace be on him: “Which is better- speech or silence?” “Each has blights (bad effect),” answered the Imam, “when they are sound of blights, speech is better.” Another

If someone rejects you do this,

Don't feel bad if someone rejects you or ignores you. People usually reject or ignore expensive things because they can't afford them. 

So, if someone rejects you, don't beg, just wait, then surely they will reject their rejection.

If someone rejects something, don't ask for it again.

Take time to open up to people. You'll find some don't deserve YOU.

“I stopped talking about how I felt because I knew no one cared anyway.”

“I think the worst feeling in the world knowing that someone you used to talk to everyday doesn’t care about you anymore.”

“Rejection doesn’t mean you aren’t good enough; it means the other person failed to notice what you have to offer.”

"I don't think people understand how stressful it is to explain what's going on in your head when you don't even understand it yourself."

The first easy step to getting out of your comfort zone is to simply switch things up. Start with going down different streets on the way home. Use the hand opposite of your dominant hand to brush your teeth in the morning. Tie your shoe on the other side of where you usually start first. Go workout at a new gym.

How to Step Out of Your Comfort Zone

There's not a lot of room for adventure and excitement in your comfort zone. 

To add a little zest to your life, it's important to try new and sometimes scary things. 

Stretch your limits! 

Getting outside of your comfortable box may be tough at first, but facing unfamiliar challenges can make you happier and more fulfilled in the long run. 

To become a pro at taking these chances, learn to think positively about stepping out of your comfort zone. 

Then you can work to make your new attitude stick with you for the long haul.

 

1) Do small daily activities that you normally wouldn't do.

Challenge yourself in small ways every day. Look for ways to step outside of your comfort zone by taking tiny actions.

[1] Once you've made stepping out of your comfort zone into a daily routine, it'll be much easier to handle bigger challenges.

[2] For example, you could start up a conversation with a stranger at the grocery store, listen to a new speaker on your drive to work, or try a different flavored coffee in the morning.

2) Change your usual habits to mix it up.

If you're stuck in a rut, break the pattern! Look for spots in your life that feel repetitive or monotonous. If you always go to the same coffee shop each morning, try the other one across the street instead. Changing up your routine helps bring new experiences into your life.

[3] Maybe you'll become friends with the barista at the new coffee shop, or perhaps you'll discover a new favorite coffee drink. Target any opportunity in your day-to-day to step outside your comfort zone and liven up your life!

Even small changes can enrich your life. If you always order vanilla ice cream, go for caramel next time.

3) Turn every day into a learning experience.

Change the way you view your day-to-day life. Look at each day as a chance for you to learn something new. Remember that this can only happen if you're stepping outside your comfort zone. You can do this by always making an effort to find ways to grow.

[4] Start a book you've been meaning to read. Buy a different newspaper than the one you always read. Take a different route to get to work. You never know what you'll learn about the world when you explore different sides of it!

4) Pick activities that challenge you.

Think about a few things that scare you or make you nervous. Write them down in a list, and put a star next to the one you want to start with. You can tackle the others later. Making a list helps you formulate a plan for how exactly you want to put yourself out there. Rather than just thinking about it, coming up with specific ideas forces you to put these plans in motion.

[5] Your list may include things like: "Go skydiving, read Moby Dick, write a short story, go on a blind date."

Ask yourself why you want to tackle these new obstacles.Download Article

Come up with a reason (or a few). Think about what you're going to get out of these new experiences. Once you have your answers, write them down on a piece of paper and keep it with you. Return to the paper anytime you want to back out. This can help remind you why you originally wanted to step out of your comfort zone and boost your motivation.[6]

If you're going on a blind date, for example, you might tell yourself: "I've gone on lots of dates I set up myself, and I haven't met someone I can picture myself with long term. This could be my chance!"

Maybe you want to move to a new city, but you're afraid you'll miss your friends and family in your hometown. Remind yourself why you originally set out to move, such as better job opportunities and the chance to meet new friends.

6

Bring a buddy for some added support.Download Article

Doing something new on your own can make it even more challenging. There's no reason you can't rely on friends or family to help you get out of your comfort zone! Pick someone who's naturally adventurous to be your partner in trying new experiences. If you set a goal to hike somewhere new every weekend, for example, bring a friend along! It'll be more fun to reach the end of the trail with a buddy, and they can make you feel more comfortable navigating the unfamiliar terrain.[7]

Your partner-in-crime should be aware of what you are doing and want to go along with it, too. If you decided you want to learn how to cook, ask a friend who's into food to take a cooking class with you.

7

Do some research to get more information.Download Article

You'll be more comfortable trying new things if you're informed. This new activity might feel like you're facing a big question mark at first. To answer all your lingering questions, go online and read about it. This will leave you feeling a little less lost, and can even help you get excited for the change! Make sure the information you find is reputable to ensure you're knowledgeable and prepared.[8]

Let's say you're moving to New York City, but you don't know anything about it. Research the different neighborhoods you could live in, how to navigate the subway system, and all the fun things you can do in the city.

Try for .gov, .org, or .edu websites when you can. Otherwise, be sure to avoid sites with misspellings or formatting problems.

The Internet can sometimes be overwhelming. While it's a great idea to be more informed, don't dig so deep that you start scaring yourself with scenarios that are unlikely to happen to you.

8

Break the activity down into small steps.Download Article

You don't have to do the activity all at once. If you're feeling intimidated by the challenge you've picked, make it a multi-step process that will let you slowly climb that mountain. Conquering your fears gradually can help ease you into new challenges. Think of it like learning how to swim. You start in the shallow end and work your way to the deepest part of the pool with time![9]

Maybe you want to go skydiving, but you're feeling terrified about jumping out of that plane. Go to the top of a really tall building and take a peek over. Then, try a smaller-scale activity that involves heights, like parasailing or bungee jumping at a theme park.

9

Give yourself an ultimatum.Download Article

Don't give yourself an out. Tell yourself that you're trying this new thing, or you'll "take away" some other daily activity you enjoy. Maybe you want to take a painting class, but you're nervous because you've never painted before. In fact, you suddenly fear you won't enjoy painting at all. Tell yourself that if you don't go through with the class, you won't be allowed to watch the new episode of your favorite TV show.[10]

If you don't like the new thing, you never have to try it again. Just make yourself try it once so that you can make an informed decision about whether you like it or not.

The punishment for your ultimatum should be primarily mental, but if you're really struggling, make it concrete. Say to yourself: "No coffee for a month if I don't try this."

10

Think positively to overcome fearDownload Article

Visualize challenges as chances to grow. The biggest obstacle keeping you from stepping out of your comfort zone is fear, especially fear of failure. Instead of focusing on the possibility of failure, think of steps outside your comfort zone as opportunities. You may be right around the corner from changing your life for the better![11]

Stepping out of your comfort zone can make you happier and more fulfilled. Keep those positive possibilities at the front of your mind to push out the fears.

For example, you want to throw your name in the ring for a promotion that just came up at work, but you're terrified of not getting the job. Instead of focusing on that outcome, imagine what could happen if you get it!

11

Coach yourself through scary situations.Download Article

Some good self-talk can be really helpful in these moments. When stepping outside of your comfort box, repeat encouraging, positive phrases to yourself. Use your name and the first person to make it more effective.[12]

You can say something like: "Jenna, I know you're scared, but you're going to try this anyway. Just think about how much fun you could have! You're strong and brave."

You can even find a quiet spot or a private bathroom and talk to yourself out loud in the mirror.

This can really help you with that final push. You're in the plane, ready to jump out for your very first skydiving experience. Don't stop now!

12

Practice deep breathing to relieve stress.Download Article

Take deep breaths and focus on filling your belly with nice, clean air. As you breathe in, picture yourself also taking in confidence. Once this confidence has filled you up, it's there to stay. Release your breath and your insecurities along with it. This will help you relax and actually enjoy life's new challenges, as you won't be so distracted by feelings of stress, insecurity, or fear.[13]

This can be a great daily exercise, or something you do right before you need an extra boost of confidence. For example, be sure to take a few deep breaths before you meet your blind date.

13

Picture the worst-case scenario to put your fear in perspective.Download Article

Ask yourself, "what's the worst that could possibly happen?" Think about ways you could deal with those circumstances if they happened. Once you're prepared for the worst, you can only be happily surprised by something better![14]

Avoid answering your question with crazy possibilities like: "I could die." If you do this, then follow it up by thinking through how unlikely that is.

Let's say you want to take a cross-country road trip, but all you can think about is getting stranded if you break down or run out of gas. Make a plan for this! Bring along an extra gas tank and a radio to get in touch with emergency services.

Tips

Sometimes getting out of your comfort zone can require lots of time. Don't panic, be patient and always believe that nothing is impossible.

Warnings

It's good to not know what will happen, to ignore dangers a little bit less, and to take risks a little bit more. Just don't ignore dangers too much -- always keep yourself safe and do not take risks you will end up regretting in the future!

Don't confuse stepping out of your comfort zone with being reckless.
