Success Diaries

It takes faith, plan, and will to succeed

I feel like there is so much in my head! So many ideas, plans, and needs that I need to fulfill! So I decided to start writing these diaries and I am calling them “success diaries.” I believe I had so many successes in my life before, and I intend to start a new one today.

We plan and plan, but in the end we get along with God’s plan.

Who am I? And what’s my position and role in this world?! Those are really big questions that I cannot answer and I would leave them to God to decide about them.

As per God, I was created to worship him… nothing more, nothing less! Why do I have to stress about anything else! It is literally non of my business! And I mean it when I say so!

But as per God as well: we get nothing more than what we strive for! So I need to strive in life to worship Him! I think it makes more sense now!

Having a good life, being a good person, fulfilling one’s needs in an Islamic lawfull way, offering a helping hand to the ones who need, not harming others. On the top of my head that’s what I can think of right now. All these and probably more are means of worshiping God on earth. That’s what I need to strive for.

The choices for that are left to me, however destined! But it’s still a little space God left for us to choose, or at least think that we choose. And I mean by that whether to become a metalsmith or a hairdresser for example. Or to have chicken or beef for lunch!

We get exposed in life to different things… some of which catches our attention and some not!

We get the chance to live in different environments… some of which we like, and some we don’t!

We meet different people in our lifetime… some of whom we decide to stick around, and some others we simply let go of! But here it gets tricky because it’s a two-way street!

Bearing God in mind though, should always help us in our choices. And if we think about it more… God’s knowing is not enough! Otherwise He wouldn’t have sent us messengers with guidance! Sticking around with the guidance is one Hell of a job though!!! One hell of a job!!!!!!! Never forgetting that… thaaat it gets subjectives in many instances, and can be misinterpreted of misrepresented or even misunderstood! Our level of thinking, our lot of experiences, our personalities, and even our environments interferes with that BIG TIME! A leeway is always important as the ultimate truth is never achievable. Luckily we have a heart or a soul or a conscience or whatever you may call it. We might rely on that as it’s definitely higher in rank than the mind, but only after the mind has done its job!

But the mind is a bitch man! And people can be really nasty! But there is always always always good in people. Not seeing that is not their problem but ours.

Anyways… I need to come up with a plan now!

REALLY! Another PLAN!

Yeah another plan! What else am I supposed to do!

I don’t know… maybe just live and see what happens to you and be satisfied!

Oh really! And how would I be striving towards God then! Just by being satisfied!

YEAH!

I wish! But as per God, we are carrying a burden that neither the sky nor earth could bear! We are bearing that much, and striving through that can never be achieved without a solid plan.

What?… Why?… Why are you saying a plan and not for example a faith? Isn’t that what’s important here!

YEAH! Faith is important and a higher drive definitely, but I was given the mind to assist with the striving through the burden, and the mind works best with a plan!

Don’t forget the will though!

The will! What a bitch!!! I’ve always had troubles with her! Social, and peer pressure helps a lot with it though! Let’s put that in our plan!

You mean like… you don’t wanna plan alone!

Hmmm… I would rather say: I don’t wanna achieve alone!

Hmmm

Let’s bring back the infamous “Daily Private Victory”! I mean… we have good and bad habits and that’s what makes us! Let’s use our mind to keep or add the good ones, and let go of the bad ones… gradually if needed… I mean we didn’t have them in an instance!
