finding yourself

The Hippiearab Podcast --- S1 E16
In the age of distraction, the single-handedly most difficult task for an individual is finding themselves. In doing so, they open their lives to the opportunity of what it was always meant for. But why is finding oneself so difficult? I explore that the different facets of life, especially within this generation, preventing us from deep self-exploration and understanding.

"the opposite of courage isn't cowardice but it's conformity" i liked that

[esrak]

You know what?
You are the most authentic and real person I have every met. Thank you for always changing my mood in a positive way and for motivating all of us to reflect on different topics😪🤚🏼

[goldenretriever]

I love how transparent you are Farah ♥️ you feel like laughter after a funeral, idk how else to explain it 😂

[jaysouthmusic]

The best thing I did was to find myself especially after I got my heartbroken from a toxic ex girlfriend. I been on this self love journey for 4 years and finding myself was the best thing I ever did. It wasn’t easy at first and it’s not gonna be easy when you first start. But give it time and effort and you realize it was worth the journey and the process was worth it

"The best way to find yourself is to lose yourself in the service of others." Woah your last point is SO true. You realize who you are, your abilities, and your value through helping others, because in that moment, YOU are their help. You. Thats you who helped them, yk? Im absolutely obsessed and fascinated with this question and have had many many breakdowns because i didnt get the "quick" answer i thought i needed. Ive learned now its a process, but yes i absolutely loved this episode, SubhanAllah its a miracle you made this. Keep going<3

[monsterrr]

[TheMyroziah]

Sisss you are so wise for your age!!! Me as 38 yo wishes to be this wise at your age. No hassad here only pure admiration! ❤

[noorluna_]

Farah's videos are actually my therapy

[Shamma-zgfp]

"When the ending is unknown and the distance is unknown that's when you know who you are" 👍❤

[lena-cpkl]

you're such a true person especially in the way you talk, you like talk how i talk but when I'm alone, you talk freely without worrying about other people, I really wanna have a conversation with you about life and how i see it and know ur perspective i feel like we would have a good time

[Chicoyo]

Honestly I’ve been struggling with the friend thing. All the friends that I hang out with are nice and they’re genuinely care about each other but we don’t have the same goals. I haven’t found people that share similar goals or different goals that are into self improvement that can lift me up. Not yet at least I know I will find them. I’m on this journey alone for now.

[ahmad]

Salam sister Farah I'm around the same age as you and wallahi I share the exact same personal experiences you mentioned: feeling icky with being validated on social media, having found soul-matching friends and being picky with otherwise, and gradually adjusting my compass (with Allah as my North direction).

I personally believe the biggest thing that's helping me find myself is gaining knowledge about Islam and Allah (yes I'm also biased like Farah, sue us).

Through my life experiences, I've discovered that the values I deeply care about are sincerity, earnestness and humility. I've always ways been attracted to people like that, too. Now I'm not a student of knowledge by any means, but the Quran and Sunnah teachings just instantly click with me and nurture those values. It also makes me more confident with acting them out and even advocating for them Alhamdulillah.

In my experience, beneficial knowledge truly is a light that you carry and a mercy that you tap into, and I wish everyone can get to experience it as well. It not only lights up the world in front of us so we see it's true meaning, but also shines lights on our inner selves to understand about them and know how to care for them.

My vision is for us to be able to bring our burdens to the Islamic teachings, and have them eased by what we find in those teachings. There's no doubt in my heart that Allah will satisfy all our needs (even if not like how we imagined). After all, Allah is the Most Merciful and Ever-Near to us.

May Allah give us beneficial knowledge that eases our burdens in the dunya, gives us certainty in Him, and draws us closer to Him, ameen

You got 100k more subs in 3 months, and COMPLETELY see why!!🙌🏾

[zaid]

Farah I really suggest that you read "Reclaim your Heart" by Yasmin Mogahed. Its an amazing book that tackles these topics in a more religious perspective, as the book talks in detail about how filling your heart with imperfect concepts will ruin your sense of self but filling your heart and purpose with Allah SWT leads you into happiness and finding yourself because the concept of god is perfect and fulfilling in itself

[Wadii]

Your podcast are the most down to earth, from what i have seen.

[halalmoaaz]

[shadiaseedat]
