So I wanted to blog about the things that are currently happening to me (which, by the way, is not even mind-bogging-ly interesting) but every time I open Blogger and then click Post New (or was that New Post? *clicking on new tab to check*), I end up staring at the screen for approximately three minutes and then very stealthily and unknowingly (I swear!) click on that unbelievably tempting tab on top of my screen with the letter 'f' (you know what I'm talking about). Either that, or I head on to another tempting tab with the bird on it. Then after lounging around those two tabs for a hundred hours I see the Blogger tab and ask myself: What was it that I wanted to blog again? And the process repeats itself.
Anyway, December has so far been amazing for me. Mashaallah, He always has a way of planning and organizing things in such an incredible way. For a couple of months before that, I was in some sort of rut because I didn't know what and where I'm headed to at all. I was clueless of what was going to happen to me and what it was that I'm supposed to be doing. The fact that I wanted to do so many things didn't help, it added to the confusion.
As you might have known, I quit during the third month of my hospital job and it devastated me at some level because I wasn't really sure if I did the right thing or not. And I'd like to put emphasis on the word 'right' because it's a word that will always knock me off. Sometimes I hate that word, you know. It's never stops being ironic. Why is that the things that are right are usually the things that you know will make you unhappy?
I'm still far from truly comprehending this but for now, what I know is that:
- Everything has an end, even pain and suffering.
- He plans it beautifully. You need to believe that.
- Patience is handy all the time.
- When you want something then by all means do what you have to do...
- ... but there's a right time so you have to wait until it lands into your lap.
- You will never be sure of anything in this world.
- So while it's there, do whatever it takes to get the best out of it.
- You may think you're not supposed to be where you are right now...
- But think about it, if you're not, then why are you there in the first place?
- Things happen for a purpose, cliche but totally true.
- Speaking of purpose, the moment you feel that you're in the wrong place...
- Think about your purpose. Ask yourself why you're doing that. Let it be something far-fetched but still realistic (e.g. I'm here because I have to be in med school after this). Let it anchor you.
- The moment you realize that you have, after all, a purpose. Then you'll be able to get yourself through the day. Who knows? You might even find happiness in there?
Now I'm not trying to be a counselor here, I'm basing everything from my recent experience. I know I'll still be thinking and telling myself 'screw this life' the moment something goes wrong. But for now, this is what I know.
