Why do we feel accomplished and proud of our efforts when things work out, but we blame fate or taqdeer when we encounter trials or failure?
The reality is, given our ability to reason and to choose how we respond to what we are faced with, both good and bad, we’ll never have certainty as to what was destined versus what is up to us to determine.
If everything was destined, despite our best efforts or no efforts, there would be no reason for accountability, either in this world to our fellow humans, or in the Hereafter when we are taken to account in front of the Almighty.
Regardless of your spiritual beliefs, the fact that we can choose, and that those choices have very real consequences that we cannot wish away, means that the sooner we take accountability for those consequences, the sooner we’ll be able to learn from it and do better.
When we convince ourselves that it wasn’t in our destiny to have something, we’re simply protecting our ego from having to accept that we failed at something important to us.
Failure is OK. It means that you had the courage to believe in something enough to try to achieve it.
What you do with the information that you acquired through failing determines whether you’re a failure or whether you’re still learning.
And we’re all still learning.
Right until the day we die, we’re still learning.
You wanna know why? Because every new moment in our life is a moment that we didn’t live before.
We were never 20, or 30, or 50 years old before. We were never parenting a 5 or 10 or 20 year old before.
And we were never parents, grandparents, or whatever role we play at THIS point in our lives before.
So stop blaming destiny or taqdeer and own your life.
If not, those who own theirs will own yours as well.
It always starts with you.
