Pakistani singer Ali Zafar, who received the Pride of Performance award on Pakistan Day, has thanked his fans, friends, supporters and well-wishers for their love.
Sharing adorable photos from the award ceremony, the Mela Loot Liya singer wrote, “My dear friends, supporters and well wishers. I would like to thank you all from my bottom of my heart for your love.”
Ali Zafar further said, “Yesterday, as I was being awarded the ‘Pride of Performance’ many things ran through my mind but I would like to share with you the most important ones for it may help you in your difficult times and in your journey to achieve your goals.”
“We are blessed with a beautiful life, it is upon us what we make of it. WE create our reality. We will always have the option to choose between kindness and cruelty, compassion and brutality, love and hate. Our choices define us and hence the moments in our life.”
“Life is never meant to be a joy ride. There are always ups and down and adversities. There will always be those who won’t believe in you, those who will belittle you, those who will judge you but there will always be those who will believe in you, nurture you and push you forward,” he said and added “These two forces have always co existed for all times and will continue to but it is upon us how we deal with them and it is best to deal with them with grace, patience, resilience and belief in yourself and the process. Don’t let negative people or negative thoughts consume you. Keep pushing forward, keep moving on with a smile on your face, love in your heart and most importantly, work hard.”
The singer went on to say “Always love and respect your parents, family and those who were there for you in your times of trouble. I promise you, you will be rewarded in your time. The only reason for that not happening would be if and when you have any doubts in your mind. Never doubt.”
“Learn to connect with the ONE who created you and creates all. Be creative and unleash the magic within you for you’re nothing short of a miracle only if you can see,” Ali Zafar further said.
He concluded “Remember, you deserve to be happy, you deserve to be successful, you deserve to LIVE. Never compromise on that. Have faith. Everything will be ok. Much love. Ali.”
