My biggest problem is wanting more and I’m aware of it
I reach a certain net worth goal and suddenly it’s not enough. I want more. But there was a time I had £5 to last me a week. I went to the pound shop and didn’t know whether to buy butter or pasta.
Now, I can buy anything I want.
When I came to England, I had nothing. I didn’t speak the language. I had no savings, no safety net.
I used to stare at big houses with gardens. Coming from a post-communist country, raised in an asbestos flat on the 11th floor, owning a house felt like an impossible dream.
And yet I bought a house. But now, I find myself looking at even bigger, better ones.
I remember walking from work to the bus stop, passing restaurants full of people eating food I couldn’t afford, laughing, enjoying their evening. I used to look at them and wish I could be one of them.
Now I can walk into any restaurant I want. But more often than not, I prefer a home-cooked meal and the comfort of my own home.
Sometimes, I have to pause and remind myself: I’m already living the life I once dreamed of
There is not a single moving creature on earth whose sustenance God is not responsible for. He knows where it lives and its final resting place. ~ Qur’an 11:6
To succeed in the game of power, you have to master your emotions. But even if you succeed in gaining such self-control, you can never control the temperamental dispositions of those around you. And this presents a great danger.
Allah tested;
Nuh with flood
Isa with poverty
Musa with tyrant
Ibrahim with a fire
Harun with betrayal
Sulayman with power
Ayyub with an illness
Yaqub with blindness
Yusuf with separation
Who are we to ask “why me” ?
اِنَ مَعَ العُسرِ يُسرا

Richard "Dick" Lasher was on his way to drive his dirt bike when Mount St Helens erupted in May 1980.
He spent the Saturday night packing some gear figuring he would head out first thing in the morning to get a look at the mountain.
His plan was hitching his Yamaha IT enduro bike to the back of his Pinto, driving up to Spirit Lake, then exploring the area via dirt forest roads on the bike.
Lasher drove down toward Spirit Lake from the north, likely dropping down from U.S. 12 and the town of Randle into the forest roads of the Gifford Pinchot National Forest.
He possibly made it as far south as Forest Road 26 by 8:32 that morning of May 18.
The time the volcano blew.
And if he had made it to the lake, he would almost certainly have died. The sheer force of the blast lifted the lake out of its bed and propelled it about 85 stories into the air to splash onto adjacent mountain slopes.
Luckily for him, and he did not realize until later just how lucky, he was on the opposite side of that ridge in front, because the entire forest was flattened from the ridge down, and he was in the lee side and protected from most of the blast.
That's the photo: a red Ford Pinto with a blue dirt bike hitched to its bumper, angled across a forest road.
