Carpe Diem
In the name of Allah, the lord of mercy the giver of mercy.
I believe it is my responsibility to live my best life possible. “I am bored” or “this is boring” isn’t in my vocabulary because it is up to me to have an exciting & fun filled time. Yet this is one of the hardest things I’ve been tasked with. Living an amazing life of pure happiness is something I have yet to achieve. Why? because I am constantly in the future or in the past, very rarely do I spend time in the present. My mind is always in search of something, thinking of what it is I want, what I need, how I want to feel, where I want to be? days, weeks, months, and years go by and all I feel is a sense of urgency. As our beloved prophet Muhammad(saw) said “If you survive till morning, do not expect to be alive in the evening”. I have finally stopped fleeting in this world and promised myself to value each day. “Don’t count the days, make the days count” is my motto. I want to make the most of each moment because my future self will look back at this time lost and wish I had been present as I am most certainly doing now.
To be in the moment. Does it mean to fulfill every waking desire of mine? Move like tomorrow will never be? Eat as if my life depended on it? Turn up till the sun comes up?
I have found being in the moment is enjoying God’s presence. Breathing in fresh air, recognizing and feeling gratitude for all the blessings around & within me. All praise is to Allah the lord all creation.
