“The first step towards getting somewhere is to decide that you are not going to stay where you are.”

First and foremost, before I start my blogging journey, I’d like to thank my dear friend MYTH.Graphy for giving me the push I’ve always waited for =D Thanks a lot hun!!

Here we are in a brand new year; hmm I wonder what it has in store for us. I don’t think it started off well, although I won’t let any of these things put me down in any way.

I just finished reading ‘The Monk Who Sold his Ferrari’, was supposed to discuss it in my book club meeting last night but unfortunately the flu had the best out of me and didn’t make it. I must say that it has been a while since I was last inspired by a book, and this was one of the few truly inspiring books that I have read in my life.  I now seriously believe that you can get anything you want out there if you want it so badly, you just have to believe that you’re going to get it and, even though the book doesn’t mention this, believe in Allah and with a simple du’aa unlimited doors would open up to you.

It’s amazing how books like these leave a big mark on us, although it has all been taught in islam for thousands of years. It has been stressed that if you are positive and look forward to pleasant things they will eventually happen to you. However, it takes many of us a philosophical book to open up our eyes to these things that we have taken for granted for so long.

Taking a break from reading...

That said, here’s what I learned:

• Be POSITIVE

• Write down your plans, no matter how small they are because, surprisingly, it gets easier to stick to them when they’re down on paper

• Don’t sweat the small stuff, life’s too short to stress over silly things

• Pursue your passion! Don’t do things because you feel obliged to do them. If you have a dream, then go for it!!

• Always remember that your life has been written ahead of you and everything that happens was meant to be. If something goes wrong, then maybe it’s for the best.

• The stronger your faith is, the happier your life would be =)
