Alhamdullilah, life is so much better when you actually focus on life.
This morning, after praying Fajr, going to the gym, and then just sitting at my front porch looking out, the cold breeze of air, the smell & sounds of rain, Wallahi it's crazy how privileged I am.
Just east of me in Shaam, in Sudan, In Somalia, Bangladesh, Pakistan, india, etc, people hear gunshots, bombs, or the sounds of hunger.
I know ikhwan it's gotten "cliche" to talk about people that are suffering, we tend to forget about it quickly.
But it's important to remember them, and make it a duty to help those in need as you continue to be exceptional.
But really, focus on your development. Never tie your self worth to a "thing" except islam.
I made the biggest mistake of tying everything to my YouTube channel.
Or before, tying everything to a business I was trying to get rich with.
Or some of us, it's tying everything to school.
Which is silly because If I am not continuously improving and pushing myself everyday, I will fail the projects in my life.
When you wake up, your first thoughts should be your obligation to the deen
"Alhamdulillahilladhee ahyana ba'da ma amatana wa ilayhin-nushoor."
The dunya will be taken care of by Allah SWT when your deen is in check.
