Motivational
Time is the only constant gift we are all given-24 hours. Our to-do list may be endless, but life is not about ticking every box.
It’s about choosing three dimensions of life that will bring the most value: Your family, your work and your soul.
Family: Family represents love, care, support, and human connection. No matter how much wealth or status a person achieves, if relationships are broken or love is absent, life feels empty.
Work: Work is not just about earning money. It’s about purpose, achievement and contributing to society and creating value. Whoever works with sincerity and dignity feels fulfilled.
Soul: Soul is the deepest part. It’s about Allah (SWT), morality and conscience. It’s about peace, spirituality, and meaning beyond the material world. Nourishing the soul through prayer, reflection and good deeds keeps us grounded. Without this, life becomes shallow, no matter how much success we have.
The wisdom is to balance these three.
“At least once a week, reflect and introspect- look at the bigger picture and adjust your focus”
