Own your failure, own your growth
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…

Do you appreciate you?
When we surrender to what we believe was preordained for us, we give up our ability to influence its outcomes. That giving up creates a self-fulfilling prophecy by allowing things to progress in its current path without any effort to disrupt it, convincing us that we were right about it being preordained. For this reason,…

Who is that voice in your head?
There are signs in everything, if only we paid attention, or reflected deeply enough on it. It’s like noticing all the cars on the road that are similar to your own. You may also notice cars that you really dislike, and cars that you love. But do you notice cars that don’t interest you in…

Psssst, guess what?
The universe is not waiting to serve you. It’s time to own your shit. “Expecting life to treat you well because you’re a good person is like expecting a bull not to charge at you because you’re a vegetarian.” (Unknown) This is my favourite quote whenever I come across someone that feels defeated because they…

To Leave a Legacy
I awoke this morning, looked at the sky, and felt the grey rain clouds descend through the skylight slowly dulling my senses. It was a good dulling. The kind that mutes out the noise and sets in the calm that prompts the mind to wander to spaces not often visited. This morning that space happened…
