This month will be my 30th Birthday and thinking how did I survive so far plus obstacles I have gone through for thirty years of living, I am so thankful that Allah never failed me to give me strength...What matters is this: if something makes you genuinely happy, you should spend time doing it. Ramadhan has been my favourite month of the year. My third year celebrating birthday during Ramadhan. Alhamdulillah...
Thirty years of living, I remember when going from a negative outlook to a positive one. I really had to spend time thinking about the way I was looking at things. The way you see the world around you is a choice. You can choose to look for the good or you can choose not to. Once I realized this, I understood that it didn't make much sense to focus on the bad things in life. Sure, I had to acknowledge them, but I certainly didn't need to dwell on them. A friend of mine told me, don't take it too hard on your self..
For too long, I spent way too much time thinking about, revisiting, and quite literally going backward into the past. It was pointless and painful, but for years I did it and caused myself a great deal of unhappiness. Hard as it is to admit sometimes, the past is over. Now that I am 30, all of the work is worth every ounce of effort I put into it because nothing is better than loving the life I am living now. Counting days till my big figure change...
