Assalamu Alaikum,
Today, I got into a small car accident.
I felt very disappointed in myself because it happened due to my own mistake. Here’s what happened:
- I damaged my car
- I damaged another person’s car
- I made my parents worry
- I need to spend money to fix the damages
- I lost hours during the day
⬆️ This is what happened ⬆️
⬇️ And this is how I perceived it ⬇️
- Damaged car? → It’s fixable
- Lost money? → I can always make more
- Lost hours? → I still have plenty of time
- Lost confidence? → I can always regain it
Don’t let life get in the way.
These are the times when you have to man up and fix what’s fixable,
instead of making excuses.
By keeping this perspective, you can always rise again — even if you come from the depths of Hell.
Allah (SWT), the Most Forgiving and Merciful, saved me from a worse scenario. And only through Him did I still have the ability to accomplish (almost) everything I had scheduled for the day.
Get After It.
Zazzakhallahu Khairan
