I just pray that 2021 won't be worse than 2020. If it is better, الحمد لله
2020, as in the years before, was a huge trial. On a global scale and on a personal one. Blessings are had every second but the trials can be enormous. They were, but انشالله a lesson learned the hard way is never forgotten. And I can truly say I learned a lot.
I was never a new years resolution type. Time is simply now. It feels stagnant or it feels like it flies. I don't know about all that, but I pray everyday that Allah will help me to be a better person today than I was yesterday. I don't know how much is possible beyond that.
Sure, I feel like I have so much to catch up on, in terms of my place in the hereafter. My road to the straight path was a very long and, uh, scenic route. By the mercy and grace of Allah, I will get to where I need to be. All of us will انشالله
Yes, 2020 is coming to an end but it's still the morning of a new day (here in my timezone). Before I think of 2021, I just try to get through every day in a way that I am ready to meet our creator, if he so wills that my time is up. Allah's written everything for us. We can opt for a detour, even willingly go in a complete different direction, but in the end, it's his way or no way.
I wish everyone a blessed Friday and may Allah grant you success in all your endeavors. I pray for you, your families and for everyone who is in absolute need of the goodness Allah has for us.
