As you grow older you will have to figure out what life is about .Sometimes you will learn the easy way , other times not so much. The good news is that as you grow older you learn new life lessons along the way. For my first blog post - I wanted to list out some things I've picked up :
Allah SWT is the only thing in this dunya that matters. Get comfortable with building a relationship with HIM. Know that when you put in the effort , you will definitely see the benefits.
Religion isn't just about the talk. You have to talk the talk, but also walk the walk. Don't think that just because you pray five times a day and fast that you've done your job. You have to be an upright Muslim in all aspects of your life- especially when it comes to how you treat others.
Life isn't fair. Sometimes you win and sometimes you lose and that is okay.
It is okay to experience grief and joy. Life isn't black and white and you will often find yourself treading in between. Embrace it
As you grow older- you will gain a level of confidence that you have never had before. Hold on to it, use it and don't let anyone ever take it away from you.
Get comfortable with being uncomfortable. Life will continue to change whether you like it or not.
Friends will come and go. The ones that you think will stay ,might not. That is okay. When someone wants to leave- let them go freely.
Friends who do stay to uplift you and support you through the really ugly times are gems. Don't ever let these people go.
Life is short. If you love someone, fight for them. If you care for them, tell them. Often times we miss out on opportunities because our ego gets the best of us.
Love yourself. Be your biggest cheerleader. Wake up every morning and remind yourself who you are.
Reflect often. Check your heart. Make sure before going to bed that you reflect on how you were as a person that day. Did you break or mend hearts? Did you help others?
Last but not least, always remember to thank Allah SWT for all that HE has blessed you with. To be given another chance to wake up and change is a BLESSING!
