The Affirmation 2013

   In the coming 5yrs an individual 5-yr plan for me might have a greater impact InshaaAllah on my future than the one any government engineers. Though Allah Ta'ala's plans have always proved far far better than mine but the fact that He kept me struggling and moving in a direction was important too. So, for the next 5 years I will work at what I plan too and I pray that may Allah Ta'ala lead my plans and direct and redirect them to what is better for me.

The Present Tense

 
 Children are adorable. They are our compass to what's right and what is wrong. Our key to responsibilty and maturity. A little check on us. There would be no goodness in this world without them. Why am I writing all this? A little chitchat with my little brother gives me a far greater sense of direction than anything else. I love his sweet, adorable and pure soul. The way he confides his little fears, trials, tribulations, sorrows and joys in me has to be my greatest asset.

  I was about to write "life is so busy" but I realise it's only if we make it so. And lately I certainly had. I mean, true, my responsibilities and commitments have increased but constant self-reminders of oh-i'm-so-busy, aggravate things. It's so easy to lose your way fretting about the past and future. Even a good 10-15 min of not thinking about anything but what exists in the present  moment works like therapy. The air the fan thows around; the ground my feet are on; the folds of the bedspread or the kit-kit of the computer keys. *takes a good look around*. Shukar al hamdolillah.

  *Takes a deep breath* Back to Operative! =)
