Tony Robbins just gave us the roadmap towards the real meaning of "true fulfillment". 🌹😉 The concept that #truefulfillment happens when we #stopexpecting someone to be a certain way, and instead #startappreciating the small things in life, is rooted in #mindfulness and #acceptance. This perspective shift can bring about profound changes in our relationships, mental well-being, and overall quality of life. #TheProblemwithExpectations When we expect someone to behave or perform in a specific way, it creates an inherent sense of disappointment or frustration if they fail to meet those expectations. This can lead to feelings of resentment, anger, and dissatisfaction. We often tie our happiness and fulfillment to external factors like other people's behavior or outcomes. #ThePowerofAppreciation On the other hand, when we focus on appreciating the small things happening around us – whether it's a beautiful sunset, a good cup of coffee, or a kind word from a stranger – we begin to cultivate gratitude. #Gratitude shifts our attention from what's lacking or not meeting our expectations to what already exists. By appreciating the present moment and its simple joys, we: 1. Reduce stress: When we're not fixated on specific outcomes or behaviors from others, we experience less anxiety. 2. Increase positivity: Focusing on the good things around us amplifies our positive emotions. 3. Develop empathy: By letting go of expectations for others' behavior, we become more understanding and compassionate towards their imperfections. 4. Enhance relationships: When both parties appreciate each other without imposing unrealistic expectations, connections deepen and become more authentic. 5. Find inner peace: True fulfillment arises from within, when we learn to accept life as it unfolds. #PracticingAppreciation To integrate this mindset into your daily life: 1. Practice mindfulness: Regularly take time for self-reflection, and notice your thoughts about others' behavior. 2. Focus on gratitude: Write down three things you're thankful for each day before bed. 3. Embrace imperfection: Recognize that nobody is perfect; everyone makes mistakes. 4. Set realistic expectations: Understand that people will always surprise you; some positively while others negatively. 5. Cultivate self-awareness: Recognize how your own biases shape your perceptions. I am quite sure that if we focus on gratitude, instead of expectation, we will be closer to manifesting our dreams as soon as possible. May Allah guide and favor us always🙌🌹🎊

What gifts can you appreciate today?

Trade EXPECTATION for APPRECIATION today. Live every day in an Attitude if Gratitude. Gratitude for your parents having s3x and gifting you this chance to live every day. Gratitude for the food you eat. Gratitude for the water you drink. Gratitude for the air you breathe every second. Gratitude for the house you live in, even if its a cardboard box. Gratitude for the people who give you a helping hand, both in support and in obsticles to grow from. Gratitude for the song of a bird, the clouds that bring rain, the sun that allows life to flourish on this green earth. Gratitude for the clothes you wear. Gratitude for the lifestyle you have. Somewhere on this green earth there are millions if not billions living in worse conditions who hold gratitude for the little things we take forgranted. Each step you take on the path of life is a gift, a moment to be present in the beuaty of all things, in the gratitude that YOU GET TO DO THIS. Be that gratitude, open your heart and let it sing "I appreciate all that the world gives me", let is sing loud. With love and gratitude always, Rowan.

Even when things don’t make sense right now, remember that He sees the bigger picture. Faith isn’t about having everything figured out, it’s about knowing you don’t have to. Trust that what’s meant for you will come, in His time. Take a deep breath today, let go of the stress, and lean into that trust. God’s got you. PS: Are you ready for the new week? PPS: Is it too early to put up Christmas decorations? Asking for a friend 😁.

Resurrection & renewal: Easter reminds me that even in the darkest of nights, there’s a dawn waiting to break. Just like blooming flowers, let’s embrace the renewal and growth. 2. Family & friends: Reach out to your loved ones, near and far. Share laughter, memories, and perhaps send a virtual hug 🤗 especially those who may be away from family today. 3. Gratitude: Take a moment to appreciate the little things - the warmth of the sun (instead of complaining that it’s been getting warmer), the greenery around you, and the simple touch of a spouse or partner. 4. Acts of Kindness: Let’s sprinkle kindness like confetti. Whether it’s a smile, a helping hand, or a thoughtful message, let’s brighten someone’s day.
