Assalamualaikum,

Where do I begin?
It feels like I've been through turns and tumbles this year. I feel like I've learnt about myself throughout it all though, I dont think you ever stop learning about yourself. What I've learnt slowly but surely is to keep going even I fail once, I know eventually I can do it. E.g. I want to wake up for tahajjud it doesn't happen, so i think okay lets try the next day and the next etc. Until one day it happens I think when it comes to our nafs we just have to keep trying because naturally we do get lazy. I've also learnt just because you think dont like something doesn't mean you do, I always thought I'm not a morning person but then I started running in the mornings and I realised I actually love running in the mornings. I also thought I didnt enjoy baking but really I did I just stopped because I thought I wasnt good enough.

Sometimes we push things away because we worry about our lack of experience or not being good enough but I feel like that's a wrong way to approach something who cares if you're not good at it you should keep going eventually you'll become better at it. I've learnt to be more patient with myself too  even if I fail at something it's not the end i just have to keep going.

Anyway that's what I've learnt about myself, what do you think you've learnt about yourself?
