THINKING TO CHANGE...

Lying in bed, I was asking myself, what are some of the secrets of success in life?

.

I found the answers right there, in my very room.

.

The fan said: be cool!

The roof said: aim high!

The window said: see the world!

.

The clock said: every minute is precious!

The mirror said: reflect before you act!

The calendar said: be updated!

.

The light said: shine as bright as you can!

The wall said: stand firm!

The door said: push as hard as u can for your goals!

.

So always apply this techniques for a better life..

THE FIRST STEP TO PARADISE

The first step in self development, then, is to concentrate single-mindedly on Paradise.

.
Indeed, the one who is unsure of his destiny in life, torn between this world and the Next, like one standing with his feet in two separate boats - will be thrown off balance.

.
Many of the difficulties that we face are due to this lack of commitment and inability to focus on the real VISION of our life.

.
If you can keep your focus on PARADISE, then everything else will be possible. The selection of the VISION of Paradise must be made consciously and may involve an absolute break with the past.

..
To choose this new VISION as the ultimate goal in one's life is in fact to choose a new life, to begin a new journey.

.
Embark on this new journey by refreshing you and offering Prayer reminding yourself of all the consequences; that if my life proceed in fault/ wrong direction (punishment of Hellfire) you have just resolved to avoid at all costs and all the rewards of Paradise that you will strive to achieve.

.
Remind yourself also of the important stations and landmarks on the journey;

Imagine death as near!
Imagine the moment when the Angel of Death will declare, `your time is over, now you must follow me'!
Imagine that moment when you will be made to stand in the presence of Allah Most High, so that the final judgment of life may be passed on you! and
Imagine the consequences of that judgment!

.
When you have completed the Prayer then resolve once more that all efforts will be directed towards achieving Paradise, beseech GOD and pray with humility:

.
O GOD, I ask for Your mercy and whatever brings me closer to it, in word and deed.
O GOD, I ask for a faith that will never vanish, a blessing that will never diminish, a pleasure that will never abate, and the most elevated position in Paradise distinguished by the companionship of Your FINAL PROPHET (PBUH).

.
While improvement in your habits and actions is a life-long process, the desire to achieve it can thus be sparked in a moment. This desire will provide the momentum for attaining your goal - the good pleasure of Allah and Paradise.

PERSONALITY DEVELOPMENT TOWARDS SUCCESS

Our personality comprises not only the physical body but also the mind and the heart, feelings and attitudes, character and behaviour.
.
Proper nurturing and development of these elements of the personality will achieve desirable goals. When goals are desirable, the process of aspiring to, working towards and achieving them also become desirable. This is part of human nature. Therefore, that we recognise and understand the true nature of our ultimate goal in our life (i.e. the Vision for our life) it is critical.
.
For the true believers and deeply enlightened people, the most coveted goal in life is (Vision) to seek the good pleasure of almighty GOD and Paradise in the life after death.
.
The path to God and the Paradise is only illuminated when a person recognises the central place of God in his life as his Vision and strives to develop his self accordingly.
.
The Messenger of God said: If someone wants to know what position he enjoys in the eyes of God, he has only to look at what place he gives to God in his heart and life [Hakim].
.
The term nearest in meaning to self development; it means purification and refers to the cleansing of the human self from all that is unwholesome, undesirable and unwelcome. It also refers to the nurturing and strengthening of all the qualities within the human self that are essential for growth and development, for blossoming and flowering.
.
Therefore the SUCCESS and happiness in this world and the Hereafter depend on the purification and nurturing of our personality. The Holy Qur’an states that true SUCCESS is only reserved for those who seek to purify themselves: Successful indeed is the one who purifies his whole self [Chapter: 91 & Verse: 09]
