It Begins

with you.

The change has to begin with you, yourself, me, I, we and us.

If I want to be more disciplined, I should start with myself.


If you want to be more matured, you should start with yourself.

If we want to create history for the Muslim ummah, we should begin with ourselves.


""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""
How?

1. Recognize your own self.

2. Have clear vision of your purpose in life.

3. Be able to discern what is right/beneficial/real and what is wrong/detrimental/unreal.

""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""

Now, if I want to be more matured, I should have all that.

Especially the third one cos I am lacking in the ability to do so.

If I want to engage myself in reality, I should be able to disengage myself from the unreality.

I should not be too attached with the unreal because it is only for temporary.

Death is a reality. The Hereafter is our reality.

Take a proactive step to the reality, namely, the Akhirah.
