Allāhumma ‘a`innī `alā dhikrika, wa shukrika, wa ḥusni `ibādatik.
O Allah, help me to remember You, to give You thanks, and to perform Your worship in the best manner.
I just thought about the following lately:
Go to school. Get the degree. Get the job. Get married. Retire.
And somewhere along the way, you’re expected to call that a life.
But that’s someone else’s program; a blueprint handed down by society, family, culture, or tradition. A path so familiar that we rarely stop to ask whether it was ever meant for us.
And the problem isn’t that any of those things are wrong. Education can be valuable. A career can be fulfilling. Marriage can be beautiful. Retirement can be well deserved.
The problem is assuming they are the whole story.
There may be dreams missing. Questions you haven’t asked. Places you haven’t seen. Risks you haven’t taken. People you haven’t become. A contribution only you can make.
Your life doesn’t have to fit neatly into someone else’s sequence of milestones.
At some point, you have to pause and ask:
What do I actually want my life to be about?
Not what looks successful. Not what makes everyone else comfortable. Not what you were told you should want.
What matters to you?
Discover your own program.
Then have the courage to follow through.
Because the goal isn’t simply to complete the checklist.
It’s to live a life that is actually yours.🤷♂️
Let me ask this question
Do people know that there are medications to prevent you from having HIV called "Prep"
And it is very much available in Nigeria
The human body is wired weird😁
A man can be stressed and choose sex to de-stress,out of surgery and get erect to fire down.
But
A woman is not even thinking of sex when she's under stress, not sure of where the next meal is coming from,not feeling secure in her relationship.
And we're meant to live and accomodate each other with love and understanding 😁
A true test of our character,patience,dare I say, humanity?🤷
