Such a beautiful message! There is a negative connotation around patience as being equated to being complacent with a lower quality of life. But Islam encourages patience and describes it to be beautiful. I loved the point you made about waiting showing us who we have the potential to be. When we're in hardship it's hard to see a reality beyond the solution we think we will solve our problem, but being patient allows us to rely on Allah and realize that Allah has the capacity to give us so much more than we were willing to settle for. May Allah make it easy for us to be patience and trust His wisdom and guidance.

This is so beautiful, brought tears to my eyes 🥹. As an obsessive planner, I've been humbled so much that I have learned to let go and surrender. Control is an illusion and nothing is within my power except to try.

Alhamdulillah. Control is an illusion. Will put it right there with 'balance'.

Right? Life can make a 180° turn in a blink of an eye, and it often does that.

This was such a beautiful read!!!

This line really stood out to me: In the stillness, you learn to trust.

When you're waiting, stuck in the unknown, you have no choice but to trust in the One who knows all, subhanAllah!
