Last day before 2021 chapter's will be closed. A tough and hard year for everyone fighting with the Covid 19 and struggle to keep going forward despite the challenge ahead. But still, it was a year that taught life lessons a lot. For me myself, it was year of self improvement and healing. There's few point I could highlighted throughout the year.
Self love
When things did not turned out as expected, I kept blaming myself until day I hate being me. I kept asking why and why for the things happened. I cried everyday and almost got depressed too. Till someone told me to care for myself and do things I love, I started to accept my flaws and think things positively. I keep telling myself it's okay to cry and self talk really helps a lot for healing.
Appreciate your blessings
I learned to appreciate what I have rather than hoping for something I don't. I am so blessed to have caring and loving family, good friends and always surrounded by kind people. Many people affected by Covid 19 as shutting down business, losing family members and struggled mentally and emotionally to keep sane in hardest year.
Enjoy moments with loved one
Time is short and you will never know how much chance you have to spend with your loved ones. So never wait, express your love to them. It's okay to buy them simple things, the price doesn't matter much, the moment that will last. Don't wait until you are rich, share your sustenance (blessings) with others and Allah will give more.
Have faith in Allah's plan
Even you don't see what's ahead, always believe that Allah is planning your life perfectly. When you feel like you're left behind, no you're not. You're on your own track. Allah want to prepare you for something great ahead. So just be patient a bit more, your blessing is on its way.
It's okay to not be okay
It's okay to have bad day but never let it drown you. Because you're human, your feelings are matter, it's okay to be happy a day and sad another day. As long as you are not giving up, everything will be fine some day. When you are exhausted, you can keep silent or keep distance from people who drown your energy. It's not sin, it's just self care.
Never compare yourself to others
Never looked down on others because you're never be in their shoes and you will never be. So tolerate the difference because our track never be the same. Be careful on your words too as you might bleed someone's feeling and the pain might take much time to heal. It's not their fault that the blessing didn't come yet, it is just the matter of time. You're are not the winner if you achieved something early, it is your timeline. Allah is fair, He will test all of us accordingly, some are facing despair before receiving blessings and vice versa.
365days of 2021 taught me a lot of life. But I thanked and was so grateful, I realized something before it's too late. 2021 is adulting year too even I am still not that ready for adult's things. Thanks and bye 2021.
