Lately, i've been on this whole self-reflection mood. I'm thinking about a lot of things. What i can change about myself, what i need to work on, what i can do to make me a better person, which things i need accept about being myself and how to really love myself without becoming self-important or conceited. I'm delusional. I always wanted to achieve every one of those ideals ultimately and i have recently been really stressed out about trying to handle all of the above but somehow it always leaves me dissapointed. But i do always forgive myself for not always being perfect. I don't always say the right thimg, do the right things or think the right things. But it's okay, making mistakes is part of the human experience. I just need to seek Allah's forgiveness, if it's a person i've offended then i need to seek their forgiveness. Learn from my mistakes and move on.the next time happens (because it will!) ineed to repeat the same steps all over again. Final thing i've come to realize is sometimes people can prevent you from forgiving yourself if you let them. Oh people love to bring up what you did in the past or how wrong you were! All of that can start to weigh on you if you let it, insyaAllah i won't =) some people don't like changes. They want you to stay the way you are (or were) this may sound corny but here is a healing exercise i plan to do ASAP. I’m writing down every single mistake i've made on a piece of paper. (Every mistake i can think of anyway). I’ll allow myself to reflect on those mistakes only for a few minutes. I’ll acknowledge that each of those mistakes has helped me to grow in some way. Once i finish doing that i'm going to take the paper, tear it into tiny pieces and throw it in the garbage. Then i'm going to move on with my life, insyaallah...
Thursday
Gimme something to ponder on.
