iris melissa dy:    faisal, why did you gave me $1,550?
Faisal: iris we always take care of you when you go out of your way .. especially when khurram has to leave on short notice
iris melissa dy:    i see. i wasn't expecting that.
Faisal: :)
iris melissa dy:    thanks
Faisal: please dont mention it
we do the best we can in whatever measure we can manage.. any time we can manage it, we do it through funds.. other times its other ways :)
iris melissa dy:    your mum is worried about khurram though... me too am worried about him.
Faisal: well he's dealing with a lot right now
but he's a strong fellow
God gave him his gifts
and Khurram knows how to honor them :)
so don't worry too much
iris melissa dy:    i see. i dont see him smile and laugh anymore
Faisal: he'll get through it
iris melissa dy:    i hope he'll get out from this phase soon
Faisal: yup. as with all things in life.
even this shall pass
:)
iris melissa dy:    okay. i miss teasing with my brother. i dont bother him as much coz he'll get irritated easily these days.
Faisal: nawww.. you can tease all you want
he knows how to keep things separate
iris melissa dy:    no.. he is too serious
im afraid
Faisal: haha.. naww.. that's just your unchecked fears
all you do is .. communicate with him
you see what happens if you just assume ... in Suhani :D
iris melissa dy:    no worries. hope danielle will make him smile.  ☺
Faisal: hahaha ! she'll make everyone smile !
iris melissa dy:    yup!
Faisal: relationships like those matter more than anything in the outside world
taxes, politics, bills.. they are all never ending
so we must seize upon any chance to truly enjoy the gifts of life
iris melissa dy:    i see. i understand... and my mindset before is work hard today and save so that i could retire early.. but then, they are neverending so now ill just keep it easy.
lol
Faisal: see if that's actually true for you
don't just believe because it sounds good
your conscience will guide you :D
and if i may
i will share my own learnings on work ethic
i have learned to work smarter rather than harder
i learned there are no guarantees anyone will live long enough until some far off date of retirment
iris melissa dy:    yeah. i honestly dont know what will happen tmw faisal... i just wanna be happy today and plan for exciting positive stuff that i will do tmw.
Faisal: yes.. that's it
be happy right now.
and when you have to work
enjoy what you do because its your way of honoring the gifts God gave you
when you really feel a deep passion about your craft
its not about "hard work"
iris melissa dy:    yeah. i think that's the key...
Faisal: the outside world will say oh she works too hard
but you wont feel any of it
in fact, time will fly so fast
because you really are INTO what you do
no one is like this every day but
if you are like this most days
then having a short phase like khurram
it will just pass
iris melissa dy:    i see.
Faisal: and the gifts of relationship are such
being with people who aren't constantly planning to harvest you , farm you, possess you
being with people who themselves live a light hearted life .. simple one
you will find it enjoyable to be around such folks.. could be any one
iris melissa dy:    yes. that is true faisal.
Faisal: i try to live as much of truth i can Iris
living any other way just doesn't suit me :D
at the end of the day, it's all gifts from God
iris melissa dy:    i wish others find me light hearted too that people want to hang around with and not avoid.
Faisal: that can only happen when you listen to the voice of God in your conscience :)
the you are not burdened by the traps of temptation, worry,
there is no strings you put on others, nor do you let others put a leash on you
iris melissa dy:    i am practicing. thanks for the knowledge you are sharing faisal. you totally make sense to me.. my past questions when i was young got answered by you so thank you./
im knocking on my landlords door. im gonna talk to him.
take care.
Faisal: :  ))))
have a wonderful rest of your night
be in peace and with God :)
iris melissa dy:    OMG faisal

Faisal: : )))))
it's a small world, isn't it
