Have trust in God's plan

Ever since I remember, I used to plan my life- every minute of it. I used to have my weekly/ monthly/ 5-year goals and plans on how to achieve it. Although sometimes I would get disappointed and have to start all over again, most of the time those plans weren’t just a To-Do-List on a piece of napkin. I would actually watch them taking shape and goals being achieved. 

Now I realize that it is not a sign of being an organized person, it is just a way to keep in control of your life. But how much is too much? I reached the point where I used to think that I am the creator of my own life, my own destiny. 

It took me about 20 years until I came to the realization that there are some situations in life that you just cannot plan, issues you never thought you’d have to face, therefore there must be something bigger, higher and stronger than me. 

These moments are true blessing, Alhamdulillah. I am thankful for each and all of those days when I went to sleep tired of blowing against the wind. These are the days that got me right where I belong- on my knees with my forehead on the ground, crying and praying to the Only One that   can help. And you know what? In the morning I could see a sunrise. 

I still do set goals, make plans and follow my dreams. But it is different now. I’m learning to relax, let go and set goals, not expectations. Moreover, if things don’t turn out the way I hoped- I am learning to smile, be thankful for a try, heal my wounds and move on. 

My To-Do-List for a lifetime:

• Count my blessings everyday
• Be kind to people
• Smile more
• Let go of what I can’t control
• Give everything
• Expect nothing
• Learn to want less

Sometimes you just need to let go. Stop trying to control it. Even if you do nothing at all, life will still go on: ‘Do your best and leave the rest to Allah’. What is meant to happen, will find its way. It may not be what you thought it would be, - but it will be exactly what He wants. 

You just need to trust Him. What He has planned for you will always be much greater and better than what you could ever wish for.

AllahuAkbar.

My First Blog Ever

I've always considered myself being one of those annoying people who talk too little- think too much and always give you a nasty look when a stranger asks them: ’’Hey, how are you? What’s new?’’. That moment my logic kicks in whispering- Why are you asking me about  what’s new if you don’t even know what is old in my life? (Not a big fan of chit-chatting as you can tell).

For a while now I’ve been having this idea of starting a blog. However, I never really consider my life interesting, nor inspiring enough for people to read. Don’t get me wrong- I like to talk, I can talk for hours indeed, but only if the topic is meaningful and audience is right. I will try to keep my blog posts short and sweet (can’t promise sweet really, but will try, inshallah). 

I guess the main reason of this blog is that I am starting a completely new chapter of my life and would like to document it. I have this strong feeling that life is changing and God is taking me somewhere where I have never expected to go, but I am willing just to let go and enjoy the ride. I am taking you with me on this Journey. Don’t know where I’m heading, but believe it all will make sense in the end, Inshallah.

PS.: If these blog post will be read by more people than my mom (Hi, mummy! ) and inspire to take chances and live day by day- than it is all worth it. 

Stay positive!

AllahuAkbar
