Too Nice for Your Own Good : How to Stop Making 9 Self-Sabotaging Mistakes
Duke Robinson
If you're like most folks, you were raised to be "nice". Yet you find yourself asking: "If I'm so nice, why isn't my life better? Why do so many of the nice things I do leave me feeling burned out, bottled up, or bumbling?" In this book, renowned minister and lecturer Duke Robinson tells you why.

Robinson knows that our well-intended, socially acceptable, nice behaviors often carry down sides, betray us and end up self-defeating. He nails nine such mistakes we nice people make every day. Look inside this book at the Contents page to see what they are.

This book will show you how to correct these mistakes, and in their place put life-affirming, liberating behaviors that will help you avoid frustration, stress and embarrassment. You will learn how to:
-- Let go of your need to please everyone.
-- Say "no" and feel wonderful about it
-- Tell others directly what you want, and actually receive it
-- Express anger in ways that heal and help you maintain valued relationships
-- Disarm those who criticize or attack you irrationally
-- Be effective in sensitive, intimate moments with those you care about
-- Stop trying to control, save and protect others and simply support them
-- Liberate your true self for a richer, more robust life.

Are you, like most of us, too nice for your own good? This remarkable book will empower you to get what you need and deserve out of life...and still be a nice person!

Now I know how it's like.. To have a precious love in my life ♡ Now I know how it feels .. To finally be at peace inside !♡
I wish that everybody knew ....How amazing it feels to love You!
I wish that everyone could see.. How Your love has set me free ♡ Set me free.. and made me strong.

O Allah, I'm forever grateful to You Whatever I say could never be enough..
You gave me strength to overcome my uncertainties And stand firm against all the odds You are the one.
who did revive my soul ♡
You shone Your light into my heart
So pleasing You is now my only goal ...Oh I love You so.♡

THE STRANGER

Tired and exhausted with the waterskin on her back, she was gasping and going towards her house where innocent children, their eyes fixed at the door, were eagerly waiting for the arrival of their mother. On her way, an unknown man approached her. He took the waterskin from her and placed it on his back. The door opened and the children saw their mother entering the house with a stranger. He placed the waterskin on the ground and said:

"Well, it seems you don't have anyone to fetch water for you; how come you are so forlorn?"

"My husband was a soldier; Ali sent him to the frontier where he was killed. Now I am alone with these little children."

The stranger said no more. Bowing down his head he went away. But the thought of the helpless widow and orphans remained in his mind. He could hardly sleep in the night.

Early in the morning he picked up a basket; put some meat, flour and dates in it; went straight to her house and knocked at the door.

"Who are you?" "I am the man who brought your water yesterday. Now I have brought some food for the children"

"May God bless you and judge between us and Ali"

She opened the door. Entering the house he said:"I wish to do some good acts. Either let me knead the flour and bake the bread or allow me to look after the children."

"Very well, but I can do the job of kneading and cooking better than you. You take care of the children till I finish cooking"

She went to knead the flour Immediately, he grilled some meat which he had brought and fed the children saying to each child while putting morsel in his mouth:

"My son, forgive Ali if he has failed in his duty towards you"

When the flour got ready; she called: "sir! put fire in the oven:" He went and put fire in the oven. When flames rose up, he brought his face near the fire and said, "Taste the heat of fire. It is the punishment for those who fail in their duty towards orphans and widows."

By chance, a woman from the neighbouring house came in. Recognizing the stranger, she cried: "Woe, don't you recognize the man who is helping you? He is Amirul-Muumineen (commander of the faithfuls) Ali bin Abi-Talib."

The widow came forward and shamefacedly cried: "Curse and shame to me. I beg your pardon:"

The humble stranger who turned out to be Imam Ali (peace be with him) replied, "No, I beg your pardon for I failed in my duty towards you."

“He was asked: Why are you crying O Messenger of Allah?

He (peace be with him and his progeny) said: I'm crying over my descendants, what will the evil ones of my nation do to them. I can see as if Fatima (peace be with her) my daughter is treated unjustly after me screaming: O Father and no one from my nation aids her.

When Fatima heard that, she started crying.

The Messenger of Allah said: Don't cry my daughter.

She said: I'm not crying because of what will happen to me after you. I'm crying because of losing you O Messenger of Allah.

He said: O daughter of Mohammad, be glad for following me quickly. You are the first of my household to follow me (will be martyr soon after me).”

فقال: أبكي لذريتي وما تصنع بهم شرار أمتي من بعدي, كأني بفاطمة (ع) بنتي وقد ظلمت بعدي وهي تنادي: يا أبتاه! فلا يعينها أحد من أمتي, فسمعت ذلك فاطمة (عليها السلام) فبكت,

فقال رسول الله (صلى الله عليه و آله): لا تبكين يا بنية,

فقالت: لست أبكي لما يصنع بي من بعدك ولكني أبكي لفراقك يا رسول الله,

فقال لها: أبشري يا بنت محمد بسرعة اللحاق بي فإنك أول من يلحق بي من أهل بيتي.

A question from grand Āyatollāh Sayyed Mohammad Hussein Fadlullah and his answer.

Question: How do you understand (man; the human being) through the Islamic methodology?


Answer: Since the day I set out on life, I have learned love from Allah, the Messenger of Allah (p.) and the Imams (a.s.). I have seen that Allah, the Most High, the Most Exalted, has bestowed His mercy upon all people, and mercy represents a state of love. In this sense, I love the human being, wholly, yet I detest any act of deviation, crime, unbelief and oppression he might commit, as it is narrated: "Allah may love a man but hate his action, and may love the action but hate the man."*

Actually, I have learned that from the Messenger of Allah (p.), having read his biography and realized that his heart was always open to all people, as he used to say: "O Lord guide my people, they do not know (the true path)."** I also acquired that from Imam Ali (a.s.) who used to say: "Rip evil away from the heart of others by uprooting it from your own heart (first)."***

At a time I feel hurt for the path those people have followed, knowing that I do not claim to be deprived of feelings and emotions, for just as Allah has mentioned, even the Messenger of Allah (p.) used to feel sad and distressed from what others used to plot against him, so He told him (p.): "And grieve not for them and be not distressed because of what they plan," (27:70)… despite that, I always try to study the points of weakness that drove them to do so… I used to examine thoroughly the state of backwardness, ignorance and egocentrism they revolved around and were afflicted with; thus, I used to feel sorry for them from themselves more than I felt sorry for myself from them.

My slogan in life is to love even those who are at odds with me so as to guide them and to love those who are in agreement with me so as to found a state of cooperation with them. Actually, I love those whom I am in agreement with to cooperate with them on the basis of righteousness and piety, and I love those whom I am in disagreement with in order to cooperate and engage in a dialogue with them for the sake of setting them straight.

Life cannot bear any form of grudge… grudge embodies death; whereas love embodies life, and I want to live and not die.****

Don’t Expect from others, and Don’t lash out

Prerequisites of being a Muslim..

By Ayatollah Mahmoud Amjad


“This phrase (see title) is enough to make us true Muslims.

However, first and foremost, I myself am the worst and I sense that to be the case. I do not want to offer you water (i.e. tell you how to be Muslims) so that you all say how good I am. But, I (reiterate that) I am not that good. Definitely, if this were the case (that I preach to you all to show I am better) then this is to snatch your rights! When I self account, I certainly see that I am the worst. For surely, I have heard and seen great things from others, such that if I acted on those words, I would reach the throne of God.

(Moving on,) if we practice these two phrases, it suffices: don’t lash (مرنجان) and don’t expect (مرنج).

1️⃣The word مرنجان means: do not lash out. But is this possible? I have arrogance, is it possible not to lash out? I have jealousy, is it possible? We all think that silence is an easy task. Is it?!! Silence is the hardest thing, because it has a source (does not happen spontaneously). (And because I am plagued with) arrogance, jealousy, vanity, I will (inevitably) lash out (making it harder to attain silent). Yet, we (need to make a will) not to lash, (and by doing so) we will be able to reform ourselves, so that these impurities can be flushed out.

‘Do not be after annoyance by doing whatever you desire, for verily in this path we find no vice other than this’

Yes, that is, when one (follows his worldly desires, it will lead him to) not pray, not fast, to lie, backbite, slander, perform bad deeds, which all become a means of annoyance and lashing out to God, the infallibles, and humanity.


2️⃣[Secondly] the word مرنج means to not have expectations. I have expectations that whenever I enter the gathering, the attendees stand up to respect me. If they don’t stand up, I get upset. For one week, I am upset that the person did not stand up, or why so and so did not respond to my salam.

May God’s mercy be with Ayatollah Koohestani, I saw him twice. Once in Mashhad, and the second time at a hospital. He was the first person (I met) who was some light years old, yet had a heart that worked like a youth. During the times of his clerical studies, he noticed that he became depressed. He wondered why he became such. (He realized) it was because of (interaction with people when they) failed to respond to his greetings, or never even greeted him when he walked by, or sometimes they’d verbally abuse him, and etc.

So he understood that his depression was due to the love of this world. It says in narrations:

حبّ الدنيا رأس كل خطيئة

‘Love of the world is the root to every vice (or misery)’

Love of the world is the root to arrogance, vanity, and all other sins. So he visited the shrine of Imam Ali (peace be with him) and said to him: ‘take the love of this world out of me’. Later, he said that such exhilaration filled his heart which he couldn’t describe, and till the end of his life he had such a state.

So, مرنج means to not have expectations. This is indeed a difficult task. True, I won’t have expectations of others, but what about close friends? It doesn’t work. We aren’t walls to not expect. For the least part, we shouldn’t give an order of effects (i.e. do not expect from others to best of abilities). So if someone backbites us or says bad about us, (because we didn’t expect benefit from people) we should also avoid praying that God destroys them or curse them. In fact we shouldn’t do this to anybody.

Yes, we do ask God to remove his mercy from the enemies of Islam, Ahlulbayt, and the oppressors. It is intended that we do not curse the figures and individuals of the other sects, lest Shias be killed.

Going back, if we pray that God destroys someone, others would also ask the same of us. In the words of the author of ‘Sharial Islam’, we ask: oh God remove the evil from my face (i.e. existence)”.
