1.Don’t keep blaming others each time something goes wrong. Don’t keep looking for scapegoats. Be mature enough to stop complaining and take full responsibility for everything. Assess the situation and realize your mistake. Learn from it and try no to repeat it. That’s maturity!

2.Stop seeking approval from people. The truth is it’s a never-ending process. The more you seek it, the more you’ll want it. You’ll get to a stage where you can’t move on till you get people’s approval. Stop in your tracks! The only approval you need is from the One who made you!

3.Stop allowing people to waste your time. Time is one of the precious gifts from the Almighty. Respect it. If you don’t value your time, others won’t too. So set clear examples. Be disciplined. Finish tasks on time! Don’t be late for meetings! And don’t forget to pray on time!

4.Almighty. Constantly remind us that we will all be returning to You, without exception; that our lives can end in a heartbeat. Young or old, when it’s time to go, we go. Help us make the best of our time here to prepare for what’s to come. The eternal, the everlasting. Aameen.

5.Do you have a heavy heart that’s filled with worry & cares of this world? Learn to let things go bit by bit, especially those things which you can’t control. The Almighty is the Best Disposer of all your affairs. Learn to trust him unequivocally. Peace will reign in your heart!

6.How often do you stop and think of just how blessed you are? The constant desire for more prevents us from being truly content with what we already have. Learn to be grateful for where you are in your life right now. Try it. You will see the difference! Gratitude is key!

7.Don’t be easily impressed by social status, job titles and the likes. Many have these but it has never got them far in life! Why? Because they lack basic human decency. Remember, how you treat people speaks volumes about you. The Almighty’s watching. Don’t shortchange yourself!

8.Have you ever been so engrossed in your problems that you think you’re the only one facing it? Remember, there’s a reason why things happen the way they do. The Almighty has a plan for everything that you experience. Sooner or later, you’ll see the light of day & thank Him!

9.Stop beating yourself when things happen. Focus more on the positives. You have to stop comparing yourself to others. Be kind to yourself. We all make mistakes. Consider them as learning opportunities. Above all, be patient with yourself. It’s a quality endeared by the Almighty!

10.Are you spiritually arrogant? Do you think that those who are not on your level are doomed and not even worth reaching out to and helping them out! Always remember, we all started somewhere. No one became pious overnight! Let your knowledge soften your heart not harden it!
