The Light of Farida and Sadiq -They have given to me true financial freedom so I can help you and all who I meet.
My parents have been married since the late 1960s.
Here is a story written about two very beautiful people.
The setting of this story is the village of my heart!
In a dusty village cradled by the jagged cliffs of a forgotten valley, where the sun seemed to hesitate before rising, lived Farida, a weaver of intricate tapestries. Her hands, calloused yet gentle, spun stories into threads—tales of hope, loss, and dreams that the villagers whispered about but rarely believed in. Farida’s heart, though, was heavy. The village was fractured, its people divided by old grudges over land, water, and pride. She wove alone, her creations a silent prayer for unity.
Across the valley, in a shack perched on a windswept hill, lived Sadiq Khan, a poet who scratched verses into the bark of withered trees. His words were sharp, raw, and beautiful, but they were unread, for the villagers had little time for poetry amid their feuds. Sadiq, too, felt the weight of isolation. He wrote of love—not the fleeting kind, but the sort that could mend what was broken. Yet he doubted such love existed in a place so scarred.
One spring, when the valley bloomed with rare wildflowers, a festival was declared—a fleeting truce to celebrate the harvest. Farida hung her tapestries in the square, their colors shimmering like a promise. Sadiq, reluctantly, was persuaded to recite his poetry. As he spoke, his voice cracked with longing, his words weaving through the crowd like a breeze:
“Love is the root that splits the stone,
The fire that warms the weary bone.
It asks no name, no claim, no throne—
It builds where all seems overthrown.”
Farida, standing by her tapestries, felt his words pierce her. She saw in them the same yearning she poured into her threads. Their eyes met across the square, and in that glance, something unspoken passed—a recognition, a spark.
They were married and at dawn, by the river, Farida would show Sadiq the patterns she wove, each swirl a story of the village’s past. Sadiq would read her his poems, his voice softening as he spoke of healing and hope. They didn’t fall in love as the young do, with fire and haste, but as two souls who had walked through shadows and found a light they could share.
Their love grew quietly, but it was not invisible. Farida began weaving tapestries inspired by Sadiq’s words, bold designs that told of reconciliation. Sadiq wrote poems that echoed Farida’s art, verses that called for forgiveness. The villagers noticed. A woman who had not spoken to her brother in years saw Farida’s tapestry of two hands clasped and wept. A man who had hoarded water read Sadiq’s poem about a shared spring and opened his gate.
Together, Farida and Sadiq became a bridge. They held gatherings where villagers shared stories, not of anger, but of their dreams. Farida’s loom and Sadiq’s pen became tools of transformation, their love a quiet force that softened hardened hearts. The village began to heal—not overnight, but in small, undeniable ways. Neighbors shared bread. Children played across old boundaries. The valley seemed to breathe easier, its wildflowers lasting longer.
One evening, as the sun dipped low, Farida and Sadiq sat on the hill by his shack. She traced the lines of his latest poem, etched into a tree. He touched the edge of her newest tapestry, its threads glowing in the twilight. “We didn’t change the world,” Farida said, her voice soft.
Sadiq smiled. “No. But we showed it could be changed.”
Their love had not erased the village’s scars, but it had revealed something boundless—a grace that lingered in the act of creating together, of believing in each other. The valley, once divided, now hummed with possibility, its people bound by the beauty Farida and Sadiq had woven and written into being.

Quotes from T Harv Eker:
You must acquire the HABITS and skills of managing a small amount
of money before you can have a large amount. Remember, we are
creatures of habit, and therefore the habit of managing your money
is more important than the amount.
Again, poor people think it’s all about the income; they believe
you have to earn a fortune to get rich.

income.
