“I discovered I always have choices and sometimes it's only a choice of attitude".
It has been two years since I have found anything meaningful to put in this blog. The journey to get here was arduous. It meant a lot of introspection, making peace with what cannot be and understanding that my ultimate connection to Allah makes almost anything tolerable. I reiterate to myself everyday that I might be late, but at least I am here.
Along this journey of life, my conclusions thus far are:
- Life is a gift from Allah, meant to be lived in a meaningful way -- where you choose and define what 'meaning' is to you
- You hold the key to how people treat you -- they will do what you allow them to do
- Rise above the pettiness and focus on your chosen path -- the tough part is defining the path you wish to follow
- There is nothing more fulfilling that being able to smile about and enjoy the simpler things in life. For me, just being able to watch a gorgeous sunrise makes my day
- If there is one exercise worth mastering, that is -- define your value. Unless you know your value, it is impossible to stand up to others undermining it.
I cannot say that I have conquered all but I am certainly in a better position to do so. Whether it is something that will be worthy, time will tell. At least I know that I have been going to bed feeling more at peace with my choices and knowing that even if I don't get to wake up tomorrow, I have done the best I possibly could today.
