I had sometime to kill yesterday so I read my blog post from 6 years back. I do this sometime. It reminds me of how far I have come, how my thought process were way back. It help me to put issues I am facing today in a different perspective.
We faced challenges everyday. We solved 10 problems 5 years ago, we have 10 new problems today. Maybe life is about solving problems. Perhaps we should all be grateful that we have problems to solve coz without problems, are you even alive?
I used to have many problems eg. trying to make ends meet, trying to pay off debts, trying to figure out the best way to navigate my office or trying to save enough just so I can afford a holiday. Alhamdulillah, i manage to get all of that under control.
I think the problem I have now is not being satisfied with what I have. Just keep on wanting more. I think this stems from being ungrateful with the blessings that I have. I don't even know what are the other things I want and yet I am burdening my thoughts with the feeling of dissatisfaction.
I need to be grateful for each and every single blessings. Allah has given me more than I've asked.
This helps. Writing. Evaluating my thoughts and arriving to a conclusion.
May Allah guides all of us.
