Salam.
we often heard quotes related to loving oneself, for examples, "love yourselves", "you're beautiful just the way you are" and so many more.
but as motivating as it were, there will be tiny bits of yourself saying the opposite (ie; your insecurities). everybody has their own little insecurities here and there. well maybe you don't, but i do sometimes.
do i look good enough today? do my friends like me?
but then i came across this quote;
"O my son! The dunya is a deep ocean in which many have drowned! Let
your ship be taqwallah (fear of Allah), and load your ship with
imaan-bellah (believe in Allah), and let her sail be tawakkal (turst) on Allaah!
Hopefully you will survive then." -Luqman al-Hakim
(Kitaab Dham Ad-Dunya, 1/91)
i realized that your insecurities will come and consume you if you become so attach to this wordly life. if you know and kept in mind that this dunya is only temporary, then all of your insecurites will wash away just like that.
be somebody in the eyes of Allah, even if you're nobody in the eyes of people.
