Being content with ALLAH decree doesn't  mean 

we dont do anything to remove any injustice and

SHOW AND GIVE COMPASSION.

ALWAYS STRIVE TO SHOW AND GIVE COMPASSION. ESPECIALLY TO THOSE WHO HAVE BEEN SHOWN NONE.

My entire life, I had to work, and work hard to avoid being the brunt of rude and Difficult bullying. Even from home, even from my Own Mother. Even at 63, I'm still spurned by my blood Family. It's Sad to Hurt a Child so badly that they have a hard time forgetting the Same Family, and School bullying. Especially when it never Quits. 

My point being, that no Matter how Hard it got, I always strove, and Still do, to Show Compassion to those who have less than I. I'm Far from Rich, but would still be willing to Share what I do Have.
Ridiculed, for teaching Down Syndrome Kids, the Simplest of Tasks. Volunteering at Any Class of Education to assist others. 

Now that I am a Senior Citizen, I still try, and look for ways to show compassion, even to those who don't show it to me. 

Being a FORMERLY abused wife for many years. Several of those I helped, finally found a way to Pass On My Compassion to Them; By helping Me Escape such Severe Abuse.
Keep your Faith, as long as it's for the Good of Others. Don't forget to be Thankful for All you have, not upset for what you Don't. 

Use your Infirmaries to Show Compassion however you Can.
For Compassion is the Highest Expression of Love, Faith in what's Good, that can be Done

ALWAYS STRIVE TO SHOW AND GIVE COMPASSION. ESPECIALLY TO THOSE WHO HAVE BEEN SHOWN NONE.

HIT BY A TRUCK WHILE STANDING ON THE SIDEWALK

HIT BY A TRUCK WHILE STANDING ON THE SIDEWALK

3 and 1/2 years ago, I was standing on the sidewalk waiting to cross the street when a pickup came through the intersection trying to turn right. His rate of speed and blood alcohol caused him to go up on the sidewalk and hit me. I am a nurse and have always wanted to be a nurse. I loved my job. The injuries I sustained left me with a paralyzed arm among other injuries. The driver was a young man in his 20's. The full extent of the law would have made him in his 30's when he was released. I do not believe this would have been rehabilitative. I asked the judge to give the minimum sentence with alcohol recovery classes. This young man had been very remorseful and when I reached out to him in a letter trying to understand the circumstances of the accident, he could have ignored my letter, but he called me and apologized again. We have all been young once, and have made mistakes. My forgiveness helped me enormously, and any anger or retribution would not have given me my arm back or my job. Before you react to a situation, think of the consequences of your reaction and remember that the other person is a human being.

DEATH TO LIFE RETAIN

    DIALYSIS DOES NOT HAVE TO BE THE        END.

Twenty years ago I was treated with an antibiotic that damaged my kidneys. Within a couple of years of the antibiotics it was necessary for me to have dialysis treatments. After a couple of years my husband and I were trained to do the dialysis treatments and were able to perform them every other night at home.

I was put on a waiting list for a transplant. I was called a few years later to receive a cadaver kidney. I was transplanted but rejected that kidney before I left the hospital. I went back on dialysis. The next year my daughter gave me a kidney. I kept her generous gift for six years but had to stop taking the anti-rejection drugs when I developed Lymphoma caused by the drugs. Because I had to stop the drugs I lost the kidney. Again, I continued dialysis.

I went back to school and received a degree in Computer Sciences. I was hired

 by the County of San Diego. That was 13 years ago. I am still on dialysis at home and have been promoted several times. I am now a Principal Admin Analyst. I refuse to let this renal failure hold me back. By taking responsibility for my own health and with the true dedication of my husband and family, I have been able to stay off of disability and make a good life for my family. I have been "cancer-free" for 6 years. I now have 3 grown children, 4 grandchildren and 5 rescued dogs

THINK DIFFERENTLY

              THINK DIFFERENTLY

Life is all about thinking differently. If you are moving in other path where everybody else is not

 going doesn't mean that you are wrong. This ability of moving and thinking different will help you

 to see success. 

Now if you are getting success differently many other will try to push you down because they see

 you successful ,they are jealous of you. If you achieve something in your life they will not able to

 see there face in the mirror.

 
So don't think about people that what they will think because its not there life its your LIFE.....

THE SKY IS THE LIMIT

                                                         

               THE SKY IS THE LIMIT

After passing Metric in 1999, I did not have money to further my studies & I did not get proper guidance growing up. My Uncle was a Security Guard & my mother was a Domestic worker. My mom liked asking me to go and pay her debts at the end of every month, One day I went to the Mall to pay my mom's debts as usual. As I was going down the Escalator I saw a security guard she was well dressed with a tie very professional in her approach. I was very impressed, I walked to her and greeted her and she greeted me back with a smile. I asked her the name of the company she's working for and where it was located. She responded very nicely, I said to myself one day I would love to work like her.

When I got home I drafted my first ever CV and I asked my Mom to please give me a taxi fare so that I can go & submit my CV. The following day I went to the exact company to submit my CV & I was told by the receptionist there are no vacancies currently, I begged her to keep my CV and please submit it when they are hiring and she kept it. After a month I received a call from the same company inviting me to come for a Interview, I jumped at the opportunity. They were very impressed during my interview and they told me they are inviting me to a month long internal training. I passed the training with flying colours and the trainer put me on the first group due to the results I obtained in the training. I was hired and to my surprise I was working exactly at the same SITE the lady was working in. Professional as ever with my tie and Blazer.

From that day on I told myself nothing is impossible in life, if you can dream it then you can achieve it. We are always limiting ourselves by saying the sky is the limit, THE SKY IS UNLIMITED you can go beyond the sky. Only you can limit yourself.

50 YEARS AND GOING STRONG

                     Live Your Dream 

      50 YEARS AND GOING STRONG

I am so fortunate to have Anne enjoying these adventures as my partner during the last 20 years that we have been travelling, living in, photographing and exploring Central American countries. We were both devistated when Anne experienced a crippling attack on her body when she was in her early 40’s.

Within a couple of years her joints were fusing and back and neck bending and twisting with an aggressive case of ankylosing spondylitis. Where it normally would affect the spine mostly, Anne lost motion in her hips, pelvis, shoulder, neck and back. Within a short period of time the expansion of her rib cage was restricted to less than 1/2 inch from a normal 2 inches that most of us have. The doctors prognosis was that she would probably be in a wheelchair by her mid 50’s. —— And we had all this adventure planned for our life once the kids left home.

Anne decided to make the best of it, and refuses to give in to the lack of agility and the severe pain that she has at times. Her yearly monitoring by her doctor, shows slow advancement compared to the early years of the disease setting in. The doc’s conclusion to Anne for the past few years, is keep doing what you are doing. It must be your attitude and disposition that is keeping you mobile. Of course I am her right hand man, watching for oncoming cars that she can’t turn her head to see, and putting her socks on because she can’t reach her feet, I have to stop as we walk at times - as she catches her breath, especially at the high altitudes we live in. And so we have a pile of fun as long as we are able to do it. Explore, document, climb volcanos, walk endless miles in hilly towns and cities and rough roads each day.

Not a day when I have doubted my love for this girl. We got to enjoy our 50’nd Wedding Anniversary, while visiting the stunningly rugged and beautiful Mayan towns surrounding Lake Atitlan in Guatemala this past week. A half hour speedboat ride across the lake, got us to the artisan town of San Juan la Laguna, where we had breakfast and I took the photo showing some of the beauty I was enjoying in the foreground as well as the background

        50 YEARS AND GOING STRONG

Anyway this is the love of my life as we head on to 50 years of loving and supporting each other.

                         I AM NOT MY CIRCUMSTANCES

I am Earam Tahmoor  from Bahreen, united state. I am author, fashion model, motivational speaker, entrepreneur, mentor, and woman of God. My life has proven to be a journey of unexpected challenges. I developed a rare form of cancer (Rhabdomysarcoma) at 3 years old. As a result of cancer, multiple surgeries(too many to count), along with chemo, and radiation treatments I was force to have two permanent ostomy which aides my bladder and bowel functions that cause me to have ostomy bags for rest of my life.

Through my journey and faith I discovered who I could be in spite of my medical circumstances. My insecurities did not change overnight, but I learned to be a survivor. It is a blessing to have my desires and passions come true. I have been a fashion (editorial and runway) model for over 17 years, yes with two ostomy bags. To see the outer appearance no one could ever tell I live with these adversities and what I deal with 24 hours/7 days a week.

My ostomy “bags” do not define me. I am helping cancer survivors, inspiring ostomy patients, motivating fashion models, and encouraging those suffering with low self-esteem. I used to say, why me?’ why cancer, why ostomy bags? Now I say, ‘why not me?’ Just because you have some difficulties in life doesn’t mean you can’t make it. We have the ability to make a difference, to change lives, be role model, and be all that we can be in spite of life circumstances.

                             “Live your life on purpose with a purpose for a purpose.

KINDNESS

                                  MY MOTHER

About a year after my mother died, a teacher questioned me about who she was. When I finally gave her

 

enough information to identity my mother, the teacher said " Oh! You mean that *kind* woman! "

 I 

thought 

"what a great commentary on a person's life," and resolved to try to live so that could be said about me.

 

Through a lifetime of working with disadvantaged people, I have come to believe kindness may be the 

most important quality of all.

SMILE

                                         SMILE

When I was in second grade and my parents constantly 

fought and eventually got divorced, my big brother 

always told me to smile. Smile, and it would be okay. 

Smile, try to be optimistic, and things would get better.

 And they did. It’s unhealthy to pout and be upset for 

extended periods of time, so I have continued to 

endeavor to live my life this way: smiling. I genuinely 

value happiness and optimism over anything else in life.

 If we are truly happy, I don’t think anything else really

 matters. It’s impossible for any individual to be happy at 

all times, but I still think it beneficial and uplifting to try.

can happiness be measured philosophy?

                       The Psychology of Happiness

can happiness be measured philosophy.

Way back in 1929, Walter A. Pitkin wrote ‘The Psychology of Happiness’ and in this book, he differentiated between happiness and related emotions including pleasure and enjoyment (Samuel, 2019). He argued that achieving happiness was not merely the result of luck or chance. Since this time, psychologists have continued to try and define happiness.

According to psychology, happiness is about more than simply the experience of a positive mood. In order to describe happiness, psychologists commonly refer to subjective well being (Kesebir & Diener, 2008). In other words, happiness is “people’s evaluations of their lives and encompasses both cognitive judgments of satisfaction and affective appraisals of moods and emotions” (Kesebir & Diener, 2008, p. 118).

The psychological inquiry into happiness is important because happiness is not only associated with improved physical health and even longevity, but it is also a priority for people – across the world, happiness has been rated as being more important than other desirable outcomes including living a meaningful life or making a lot of money (Psychology Today, 2019).

There are three ways that psychologists study happiness

 1.Need and Goal Satisfaction Theories

These theories suggest that happiness results from striving to achieve appropriate goals and meeting one’s fundamental human needs (Nelson, Kurtz & Lyubomirsky, in press). Deci and Ryan (2000) for example, proposed Self-determination Theory, which stipulates that wellbeing is achieved when one meets their basic human needs including autonomy, competence, and relatedness.

2. Genetic and Personality Predisposition Theories

These propose that wellbeing is influenced by genes, and is associated with the personality traits of extraversion and neuroticism (Nelson et al., in press). This, in turn, implies that wellbeing does not change much over time.

3. Process/activity theories

Process/activity theories argue that wellbeing may be improved by participating in activities that are engaging and require effort (Nelson et al., in press).

Psychologists ask the question, ‘is it possible to increase one’s happiness?’. Some psychologists claim that making an attempt to enhance happiness is pointless because happiness levels are predetermined and stable over time (Norrish & Vella-Brodrick, 2008).

Consistent with this argument is the Happiness Set Point. The Happiness Set Point argues that a person’s state of happiness will be constant over time, regardless of changes in circumstances (Norrish & Vella-Brodrick, 2008).

Adapting to environmental changes is termed ‘the hedonic treadmill’ or ‘homeostatic control’ (Norrish & Vella-Brodrick, 2008). This notion of adaptation (leading to relatively stable levels of happiness) is supported by findings in research that individuals who may be high in either positive or negative affect (e.g. lottery winners, paralysis victims) demonstrate that their happiness levels revert to their ‘usual’ range after a period of time (Norrish & Vella-Brodrick, 2008).

Some psychologists argue that the Happiness Set Point provides evidence that happiness cannot be enhanced (Norrish & Vella-Brodrick, 2008). There is a perspective taken by some psychologists that happiness is a ‘trait’ or a personal disposition to experience a certain affect.

This perspective suggests that happiness is relatively stable over time, and therefore efforts to increase happiness are futile (Norrish & Vella-Brodrick, 2008). However, research has shown that although subjective well-being may be associated with personality traits (e.g. extraversion), that differences in reports of happiness levels over time suggest that, in fact, happiness is not a trait (Norrish & Vella-Brodrick, 2008).

Thus, happiness has been an important area of focus for psychologists. What, then, about the more recent science of happiness…positive psychology?

Happiness and Positive Psychology

Positive psychology can be described as a psychology of potential, and what ‘could be’ as compared to what ‘is’ (Seligman & Csikszentmihalyi, 2000). It aims to shift what has historically been the predominant focus of psychology – pathology – to examining the development of positive qualities in individuals and communities (Seligman & Csikszentmihalyi, 2000).

In other words, Positive Psychology aims to understand and cultivate the factors that put individuals, communities, and societies in a position where they are able to ‘flourish’ (Fredrickson, 2001).

What does it mean to ‘flourish’? Put simply, it is a state of optimal wellbeing (Fredrickson, 2001). Fredrickson (2001) asked the question “what role do positive emotions play in positive psychology?”.

Well, as it turns out, happiness can be thought of as experiencing predominantly positive emotions, or affective states, rather than negative ones (Tkach & Lyubomirsky, 2006). Thus, positive emotions are a sign of flourishing, or, in other words, happiness (Fredrickson, 2001). Happiness is central to the assumptions of positive psychology.

• Positive emotions – P
• Engagement – E
• Relationships – R
• Meaning – M
• Accomplishment – A

FRIENDSHIP

                                   FRIENDSHIP

One of my biggest values in life is friendship. I believe I developed the value of friendship early in life through the schools I attended. I come from a decently large suburb, but attended small private schools growing up. My grade always had about 50 kids in it from Kindergarten through high school. I went through all these years of school with basically the same group of kids, and we helped raise each other. We went through everything together and I knew them all well. The small school and class environment allowed me to get really close to my peers.

I look back on these years and the friendships I made as very special. I'm still very close with all of my friends from home because of the bonds and connections we have from growing up together. I've taken the value of friendship with me to college, where I have a new group of very close friends. Whenever I'm down or need someone to talk to, I can always look to my friends. I know that they have my back and I have theirs. If I need anything I can always look to them, and I really value the friendships that I've made.

I think it's really important that even while we're at school, with homework, exams, and the burden of figuring out our lives, that we still have friends to rely on and spend time with. There's more to life than just your job. Friends help make your life happier. In five years this value will be very important to me as I move to a new city with new people. I will need to make new friends who I will spend time with on weekends when not at work. I will also maintain the friendships I've made from home and from school, and will keep in touch with them regularly. Together, this will help me create a large network of friends all over the country.

NIGHT TO SHINE

                            NIGHT TO SHINE

On February 9, 2018, I was a volunteer at NFL star Tim Te bow's Night to Shine, a prom for 

developmentally disabled individuals. It was the most amazing, humbling experience I have ever 

been a

 part of.

These beautiful spirits believe they can do anything and who are we to tell them they can't? They

 sing.
 They dance. They tell jokes. They laugh with their friends. THEY LOVE. They, with all their 

challenges,

 SHINE!

That night they were all stars. They walked the red carpet. They were prom queens and kings 

with
crowns and tiaras. Mobile, immobile, verbal, non-verbal, blind, deaf, they showed up and were 

fearless.

 And they stole my heart. I challenge you all, whether your life is touched by disability or not to 

learn more

 about the Tim Te bow Night to Shine and join me as a volunteer next year. You won't regret it.
