At Peace With Myself...

8 October 2011

I'm blogging again after two years. That's an achievement in itself. But that's not what I want to talk about....
---------------------------

I'm blessed! Allah has given me many things in life - that sometimes I feel undeserving of those blessings. While I do work hard for my career, the same cannot be said with regard to my preparation for the hereafter. There has been too much over focus on work - that I have neglected my relationship with God, while at the same time I continue to receive His blessings. It's like receiving gifts without saying thank you. How rude! So something has to change.

As I turned 36 this year, I began to reflect on my past choices and started to ponder the kind of life journey that I would like to have moving forward. While I certainly do not regret past decisions that brought me here, I certainly need to visit some of the outstanding issues put on hold in the past. The issues of life companion, growing old, relationship with God and my contribution back to my family and the society are some of the key agenda that I would like to address in the next few years. Career wise, I will also be undertaking new assignments early next year. Hence a comprehensive personal blueprint/transformation plan is necessary to ensure successful outcomes.

I'm grateful to a friend who is undergoing his own personal transformation (and to God's wisdom) for the many words of wisdom and advice. At last I'm moving in a direction to be at peace with myself to build my own life, a life that I know will not be perfect by any means, but will be based on principles that I uphold and things that matter to me. InsyaAllah, with blessings from Allah, things will be fine. Till next time :-)
