They call it “alopecia areata”.... Regardless of the medical/scientific term, losing my eyebrow was not just about the physical change—it was an opportunity to delve into the depths of my emotions and understand myself on a deeper level. Remember, sometimes the most unexpected events can lead us to profound insights and transformations. How to tune yourself to things around you and pay attention to signals is really important... God bless.... Mazen

If you don't know and understand the "Insecurity" you are facing...then you are Living a "Lie" that would create a constant anxiety for you which makes you suffer from disappointment, anger, pain, hurt, sadness, lost...etc. #MelRobbins said "Living A lie for other people's approval", when you are not aware of your own Fears, own Insecurities...where you start create things that are not for your own sake...and there is where the Big Lie happens in your life.... The invitation here is....Name is...Feel it...Honor it...it is worth to confront and be aware of what stops you...Being busy on how to gain others' approval on your own things will not let you reach what you wish for yourself... Your Own Growth is in your Hand and not others...Know who stops you...most of the time it is your "Thoughts" generated by your "Brain"...So turn it to be your best "Ally" and not "Worst Enemy"    God bless... Mazen

"Fear" is feeding procrastination and which might lead to  "Mental Paralysis"!  It is true that wanting something in life so deeply is a terrifying thing....While thinking that by procrastinating things you are Protecting something/someone...actually you are torturing yourself by the idea of not doing what you need to do so you can move forward towards your dream or wanting that you want to fulfill.  As #MelRobbins said...Practice on asking yourself the following "How Much you want it?" ..."How much you deserve it?"  then you know how to move forward towards your own things... Make sure it is Yours..not Others... Doing nothing is equal to "Waiting", which is "Risk" by itself....And that will kill your dream...your wanting... One of the exercise Mel Robbins offered is to write down all signs/incidents/people you are encountering in the coming days that reminding you of your Dream? Then you know what is the dream that you have to take that step forward to make it happen. Stay blessed... Mazen 

When we are apologizing, we are celebrating the connection with our true selves and others...our growth in the life we are creating for ourselves...our contribution to others and the world around us. When we are apologizing we are removing filters and be our true selves...nurturing what we are building for ourselves for us and with others... we are building, creating, nurturing a meaningful and valuable thing for ourselves as well as for others since they are engaged and involved in that. Stay blessed... Mazen 

Saying "Sorry" is always associated with something bad happened that shouldn't be done! Ignoring the fact that Good Life is full of bad things/days.  I used to find saying "Sorry" terrifying because I will always show up the weak part of the relationship or the incompetent in what I'm doing or supposed to do.  Think of it in this way....If I don't want to say "Sorry", then what I would say instead?...then you can state your thing lightly and you won't be afraid or having challenge of saying "Sorry".  What matters to you is worth reflecting upon than giving your assumption room to play dirty games against you... Stay blessed... Mazen

What happens when you can’t stop thinking and just “be”? I always felt I am stuck in my mind, which led me to withdrawn from reality. As if I am in the universe inside my head, which turned to be themed with pessimistic place, rather than engaging with people around me and makes me focusing on the present moment. So I lose the "Enjoyment" and be a prey of my saboteurs.... It is always helpful to ask the right question when you feel stuck, "What do you want your life to look like?" then take that step to get it keep the ball rolling don't over think because your mind will do the work to hold you back... When you create...you will gain the feeling of controlling, contributing, achieving which fill your lung with hope and purpose...Keep Producing ......producing what makes you alive...what makes you keep moving...keep adding values to yourself and others... Stay blessed... Mazen

Love and Disappointment are co-exist...they are part of our humanity...they are instill in any relationship...So Why should we be afraid to happen!  You will be loved for who you are and not for what you achieved, your position or title...You will be loved for your true intention, true-self and genuine offerings in any kind of relationship you are in.  Be honest with others about your needs and they will be as well and with that, the relationship will nurture both of you and itself.   Stay blessed. Thank you.

Avoiding the uncomfortable feeling which is "Guilt", we tend to please others and here where the Manipulation happens!  I start betraying my own need because of the FEAR that people being Upset/Disappointed with me...I start masking up to the point I don't show my true-self...I Twist myself for others for whatever reason...just to be Accepted...To be Loved...to be Fitted... With that...I lose my True Self..I lose my True Needs... The way out of it by;  Get familiar with your needs by writing them down.... Practice sharing them with those who truly love you... Seek how they perceive your needs and what makes them perceive them that way.... Try and share your experience. Stay Blessed... Thank you.

Guilt is complex and refers to a persistent belief that you have done something wrong or that you will do something wrong. It is really important to understand that it is tied with values and emotional triggers. Listen to the Episode and find out how to overcome that feeling.  Feel free to share you input, if you dealt with this emotion/feeling. Stay Blessed. #melrobbins #Emotions #Guilt #Awareness

“Between stimulus and response there is a space. In that space is our power to choose our response. In our response lies our growth and our freedom.” — Viktor E. Frankl, a neurologist and psychologist. Have you ever had the situation where you instantly respond? And later on you look back and you think, wow, why did I respond that way?T The Power of Choosing what is next start with that Space where to understand what happened between that stimulus and response. The Power is "Opportunity" ...The Opportunity to choose...to shift the Energy to something positive for me and things around me...The Opportunity to move forward..Move towards the thing we want... It is important to stay calm within ourselves and can choose the right response, a response that is more positive and more productive for the situation at hand. So...How do you do this? The first thing you do is to name your emotion, don't avoid them..Just name them and don't be general...Anger is reaction and not emotion...Am I feeling/experiencing disappointment..Am I feeling/experiencing fear...Am I feeling/experiencing frustrated... The below link will help you to name the emotion https://practicalpie.com/the-emotion-wheel/ Wish you good learning... Stay Blessed...

I used to say and still believe that "Emotions are unspoken words" .... What would you say when you discover that there is 34,000 emotions! Yea...I was shocked!  How can we navigate feelings, without getting lost? Self-Awareness in this case is the key word, however how can we do that!  "Wheel of Emotions" is the tool that can help us to navigate the feeling that we are experiencing in a particular context. You can check it on internet and have a look at it.  Watch also the TedTalk by Dr. Watkins, it is really an eye opener (https://youtu.be/h-rRgpPbR5w) where he is explaining why understanding what we feel is so important. God bless... Mazen 

You are not One...You and Yourself are Two!  Remember That...Yourself will talk to you, will discourage you..will cheer you up...or Judge you badly!   When yourself start worrying, you will be worry about everything! that is a fact.  It is not a trick that I'm going to share with you...Talk to yourself and tell her..."I hear you, and that is normal" tell her..."I will keep doing what I'm doing no matter how tough it is" ...Tell her..."It is My Creation and I want to enjoy it"... Keep the Faith alive with you that no matter how hard the situation is...how hard the life would look like, things are not always created with easy way!  I Am not asking you not to worry...I inviting you to not dwell in the Worry Zone, it won't serve you, it won't make you move...it will drain your energy...steal your time.....take away the pleasure of creation. Enjoy your Hand's Creation and Shine. God bless... Mazen

"Courage" is not what we see on Movies, it is not what they have portrait for us! Listening to #DavidHawkins in his book #Letting Go saying " It takes Courage and self-honesty to see Negativity and Smallness in Ourselves". It hits me that (for me), Courage is all about acknowledging that not everything I've inherited from the Human Condition is beneficial for me!  It is an invitation, to look deep and to know what I've missed and what do I need without comparing myself with others' achievements or heroism. Since they Found their own "Thing", then I have the liberty to Search for my "Own Thing" Define it and Share it back to the world!  You are Courage by instinct and inborn tendency....through years being squished for so many reasons... Follow your feelings and believe in that "Your Existence Does Matter for everyone even you" God Bless and Stay Thriving... Mazen 

Yea...I know We've always heard...learned...seen...Jealousy is destructive... Yea..Believe me..It is True...It is we who can make it Destructive and Only We who can turn it to be in Our Side and not to Eat The Soul within us! Others' Success...Achievements...Doings...are not Limiting us...It is a message that "I Can Do Something of my Own Creation"...Search for it...Find it...Share it with the World!  Believe that there is something you still don't know until now about yourself! YOU Will Be Amazed!  God bless and Stay Thriving... Mazen

Believe in WHO YOU ARE!  It is really thrilling to see your son/daughter learning something regardless of challenges they are facing!  It is really an awesome feeling to have when you see your son/daughter believe that he/she can do it! Believing in what they have within themselves...Having faith that it is their own creation, their own world...their own life!  How nice watching them defining their lives, that is a triumph against the Myth that "We Know everything"...It is true...and we became knowledgeable when space, time and opportunity was given to us...so Let us Parents...believe in our kids and give them what has been given to us! let us Nurture the Flame of life within to shine and spark out of their body! God bless everyone... Thank you,  Mazen 

Hushing the Ego...For the Sake of Aliveness! I went against what is known to me...what I've seen others are doing...I approached my kids through "The Open Door" with No Fears of saying whatever they want to say or share even against me... I let my kids to be part of what I'm trying to create with them and for them.... I'm Giving and not Imposing... Stay blessed and Thriving... Thank you, Mazen

Positive Intelligence came on time as a remedy to claim back the Birthright be seen as a father...as a son...as a daughter!....As a Family!!! It is all about how your eagerness to have a healthy relationship among family members comes true... Stay Blessed and Thriving. Thank you,  Mazen

The Game of No Roles...No Authority It is relieving to feel that you are engaged with your kids in creating a life that is meaningful for their future....In my opinion, I don't care if it is clear to them now...but i'm confident that they will get the message at a later stage of their lives... Why we have to be so serious...Why we have to complicate our relationship...Why we have to deprive ourselves and kids from the Joy and the meaning of the True Connection!! Stay Safe...Loving..Caring...Engaging! Thank You... Mazen

No More Weekends Father.... It is not easy to realize that you don't exist in your kids lives in one day for couple hours....Do the calculation and imagine what You and Them are missing! Your Role is not being A father...or A mother...Your Role is to Create Living Life within your kids... Engage...it is not too late...All of you will enjoy the Creation. Stay Blessed and Enjoy. Thanks,  Mazen

The Weekend Father..... It is hard to realize that you are missing your child's growing...Missing  phases of their lives...Missing their personality and character forming.  Although it is painful, however what soothes that pain that your intention is pure to protect them, to secure their future.... Trust the fatherhood's soul, it is there even if it is not active...one day will be activated and the relationship with your kids... Thank you and stay blessed. Mazen
