Day 14

Are we not always looking to grow and develop ourselves? I always look for ways, tools and advice where I can learn to grow and to become a better person. But what if there is something in the current you that you don't realize you need to change and correct? I personally think this would be devastating! I think criticism (coming from the correct people, and not from lazy bums) can be invaluable. I used to take these quite offensively at one stage of my life, however, now Alhamdulillah I have a different perspective. I love it when people tell me I am like this and that! I find it soo enlightening. I have also come to realize (on my own accord), that I can be quite harsh. I don't mean to be, but then I reflect back on a conversation I had and think I was actually quite rude! I realize that I have been quite harsh with an individual by no fault of their own! Thinking and reflecting back on my communication with this person, I feel terrible and extremely guilty. Everyone deserves respect and a chance and I did not give this person the time of day! Anyway, I have owned up to my mistake and apologized to this person. I have also made lots and lots of dua for this person to be successful in every aspect of their life!

Make sure you are better today than you were yesterday! Wishing you every success (in sha Allah).
