Intentions
This is just one young woman’s opinion on what life means to her. To exist, to strive to achieve, to succeed, it’s all in the sake of the Almighty. To enter paradise and live in pure bliss for the rest of eternity; that is the ultimate goal. I believe that we all lose sight of this. We become wrapped up in life and our busy schedules we forget our purpose of existence. So for this reason I think it’s important to renew our intentions and to keep in my mind why we do what we do and who we do it for. So Allah everything I do is for you, I strive to be a better Muslim. Through my actions and thoughts I obey you. I am humbled by your power and by your immeasurable glory. May you forgive me for all my sins. Ameen.

Procrastination is a disease. I’ve said it once, I’ve said it twice and now I’ll say it three times. Once you get into that awful feeling of laziness and lethargy it’s almost impossible to pull yourself out of it. It’s like being sucked into a black hole and you end up floating in the nothingness of it all. Existing but not living. Being present and absent at the same time. As you continue to breathe slowly life is being sucked out of you. Like a malignant tumour it just continues to grow and take over your body and eventually your mind. I don’t know if it’s safe to say it’s almost like death but numbness just consumes you and you feel nothing at all. Food begins to taste bland; your appetite comes in rushes. Watching tv is like breathing. Your sofa becomes your new bed and dishes pile up all around you. And slowly you waste your life away. Those days turn into weeks, months and years. Before you know it’s too late.
As of late I’ve realised life is so short. There a people dying all around me. Not just old uncles and aunties. I’m talking about young people, whether in iraq and Palestine or some victim of a car crash. Young people like me and you, who go about their daily lives not expecting that death is right around the corner creeping up on them. We live our carefree lives with no worries about tomorrow. However there are those that have plans, goals and ambitions. There are people that want to make a difference, who want to be remembered, who want to leave a mark on this earth. I don’t believe that to be accomplished you need to become famous. If one follows their religion, obeys God, respects others and respects themselves then they have accomplished something and they will be remembered by those that love them. A wise man once said “To laugh often and much; to win the respect of intelligent people and the affection of children; to earn appreciation of honest critics and endure the betrayal of false friends; to appreciate beauty; to find the best in others; to leave the world a bit better whether by a healthy child, a garden patch or a redeemed to know that even one life has breathed easier because you lived. This is to have succeeded” Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803-1882).

Welcome to my three-fold utopian dream
I've done it..I have actually sat down and created a blog. What possessed me to do it? I haven't got the slightest idea all I know it's been something I've intended to do for the longest time. I have not set a theme and don't know in what direction this blog will head. So you may be thinking why create a blong for no reason? Well truthfully I think it's a cool way to accumulate your ideas and thoughts of interest and share them with the world. Who knows it might lead me to fame! Who am i kidding? anywhooo... Thanks for stopping by and reading this. Please come back, I promise to be more interesting!
