A Birthday Card to Myself

Hard to believe you've reached this far. Twenty one years on this planet.

You've changed a lot in the last couple of years. Some might say that's a good thing. Others might perceive it as bad thing. But you're growing and learning. That's important. 

You've done things you haven't been ready for, thrown yourself in things you probably shouldn't have. But you've gained new perspectives and understandings of the world. I know you'll continue to grow. 

Right now you've got a whole lot of challenges ahead of you, things that you definitely did not expect to happen 5 years ago. A huge challenge is going to happen in July.

Accept this change.

Make it work.

The future may be unknown, but always remember that the best is yet to come.

Challenges are good - they put you out of your comfort zone. 

Make strategic decisions - every small decision accumulates and creates your life journey.

Never forget that everything happens for a reason.

Start when you're not ready. Trust in Allah's will. 

Just try to ride the wave and roll with it.

You'll get the hang of it... I hope.
