You say Bismillah and get on with it, knowing that this is Allah's plan for you. (It's not as easy as i'm making it out to be!)

You're not the only one. Personally, I HATE changes. I guess there are times in your life where you have to be out of your comfort zone, regardless of whether you'll like it or not. That's the way of life really. Growing up is solely about making mistakes, learning from them and moving forward..  

Sometimes you HAVE to do things that are going to be different, hard, and slightly patronizing but think about the consequences if you don't get out of your bubble.. you'll be missing out on a LOT of great things that you never knew you had or could do..

It all starts with baby steps, and (like a baby), if you fall, you can always pick yourself up and continue to think positive.

..Ahh I may have waffled a bit.. -.-

That reminds me of something i read today: 'If you can't fly, then run, If you can't run, then walk, If you can't walk, then crawl, But whatever you do, You have to keep moving forward'. - Martin Luther King Jr.

I watch an Indian drama (don't judge me! I know it's embarrassing and lame Lol) and I was avoiding my work and discovered an interview with one of the actors. He was asked "what is your worst fear?" he replied "to [b] stay in my comfort zone [/b] and not take risks (...) because then you stop living."

I thought was pretty awesome! Like normally you fear getting out of your comfort zone but he fears staying in it and he, rightly, associates it with not moving forward in life and get the best out of it.

I dunno, I felt that was kinda relevant.

rofl TPOS, relevant but SOO not from the right source LOOOL.

anyway... change is like hot and cold. ya cant do anything about it. when you internalize that fact then. it becomes about HOW you deal with it. dyou put a scarf on for cold, dyou put cotton on for summer?

anyway, stop with the analogy.

change, how dyou take it in your stride? are you going to (ah crap..stoped in the middle of my sentence because i realised that the way im going to phrase this might sound like im saying your blog is whiny. but thats not what i mean. im talking general here.) so are you going to cry about the change of weather and complain and do nothing alllll winter. or are you going to get your gloves/scarves etc out and go make the best of winter.

(i don tseem to be able to stop the analogy...)

so the above bit is about, taking the change in your stride and moving along with it and making the best out of it.

now, making hte best out of it. just like you cant do iceskating in summer or fruit picking in winter, you've got to not try pushing things through with the change thats happening. things that wont work with that change.

one thing id say, dont waste your time on small things when change is happening. focus on whats going on and making the MOST out of it. to make beautiful memories, to grow your TALLEST. to learn the most.

ive wasted opportunities like that. too busy whining about change and crying "i dont want this, i dont want the change". urgh. shut up Lilly and LOOK around for Allah's sake! please. just open your eyes and look and SEE.

because. every single situation in your life is good. you just got to find the perspective to see it from. that's what Allah said. so Lioness, dont be sad about change!! look for the silver lining!!!

anyway, the next step if you didnt manage to grab the change and enjoy it, it so be able to think back at it and see where you went wrong and learn from that. which i hope is what ive done from my ungrabbed opportunities.

edit: i so waffled on here...

maybe not easier Lioness (or shld i call you waffle) but more interesting? worthy? challenging?

do you like a challenge? i like them..but only..physical ones..well they're the one i can think of..mental ones im so weak urgh.

i love having challenged like doing 10 lift-up, or supporting my own body weight for that long or skipping non stop for 10 mins

ah, just thinking abt it makes me excited!
