The Bigger Picture


                              The bigger picture 

the bigger picture is the one thing that is always there in every situation in our lives, It resembles the title of the movie of which we are the actors of, It’s weird and most of the times we get carried away with the actors that we forget that the title is called “Happy Ending”, And all we think about is why the hero left the heroine , Same with our lives.

 We focus on the actions the series of waves that hit us one after the other even though when we thought that the sea of our lives was calm.

 Change the word that is most feared by humans because we are put in a position where we don’t know what’s coming next and we are tired, exhausted and we don’t know how to deal, How to live when our laws, habits and people no longer exist. Everything is gone everything is white and then someone comes in and gives us a pen; A choice we could write we could start over draw ourselves again, We could write new laws, New habits, We could see new people but most importantly we could discover our true self the hero of our movie but when the question is asked who are we?, Who do we want to be?, To us it’s not a matter of whether or not we can be that person no no it’s the how that scares us the most, Because all the books in the world could tell us how to learn our lessons, How to not let the past hinder us how tomorrow starts today but they can only do so much so the “How” is on us ,It’s on us to draw our paths, But a new wall comes up, I like to call it “the what if wall” , What if my path is a wrong one, What if I lose my path, What if I don’t like myself When I reach the end. The most interesting thing about human minds is that we always ask questions we know the answers of at least questions that mainly involve us, So the first question what if my path is the wrong one. Yeah, the basic answer would be if you don’t like it, Change it not because you have to, No it’s because you want to and you can, You have the pen remember?! no one is drawing anything for you.

 The second question what if I lose my path what happens then?, Well since you are already walking you can make another path a new one. Remember you don’t have anything to lose you are basically reinventing yourself.

 The third question what if I don’t like myself when I reach the end?. It’s not the end until you are happy with yourself, Happy with the good and the bad just accepting who you are that’s what The Bigger picture is ; That whatever is happening or whatever already happened to you, You are going to be not just okay but better.

 Yes there will be tears, Yes there will be pain and yes there will be days not just mere moments of unbearable self-doubt, But let me tell you it’s worth it. If it means that in the end you will become the ones who grab pens and write their own stories and live them to the fullest. Life isn’t easy but we shouldn’t make it that hard on ourselves, we just need to remember one thing: ALLAH loves us. Once we have got that in our minds we will know that everything happens for a reason, and since ALLAH loves us we should know that we are going to be better than we were before.

Day 1: Self Discovery Challenge

Day 1: what do I want to achieve in my life and how can I make it happen?  Achievement, that’s a big word most of it is full of failure and setbacks, take Edison for an example he failed 99 times till he succeeded it took him 99 times of failure to achieve his goal. So what do I want to achieve in my life, well let’s just say that on my 99th time I want to not give up and do that 100 time so that I can achieve what I want if I ever was meant to achieve it. We mustn’t forget that it’s about the journey not just the destination, yes, sometimes you don’t get to arrive to that place you wanted to reach and after mourning for that the lessons we learned become much more valuable to us than that view we most coveted. Well okay, how can I rise on my 99th time? It takes a lot to achieve something at first, you are full of energy and enthusiasm, then after the first bump in the road you say it’s fine every hero needs a few pebbles to make it worth his while and in the back of your...

Day 4: self discovery challenge

Day 4: I am proud of myself because… That is a question that I would consider very personal to me and I might not be as deliberate as I always am but I am going to give it a try. Proud a word that has been increasing in its wealth and also in its capacity, one of the hardest things is to be proud of Yourself. You can be proud of your nationality, your team, your friend, your family members or all of them at once, but once that question is propelled towards you, you begin to think and travel through moments of your life; which of those I am proud myself for doing for saying or maybe for not doing or not saying; being proud doesn’t necessarily have to be related with actions, sometimes it could appear in personal psychological triumphs maybe getting over a hard time in your life or facing yourself with its bad habits or unacceptable properties, we are all flawed in the most different of ways, but it’s how we deal with ourselves that defines how proud we are at least to me it is. ...

Day 3: what is my ultimate career goal? A career goal, it is basically how I would like my life to be shaped career wise or at least that is what I think, but for a 20 year old women and for people in general not to be a racist such words put an immense amount of pressure on us. It is easy when you are 6 years old and your siblings ask you what do you want to be, you either choose a doctor like your mother or an engineer like your father simply because you have only been exposed to these specific positions or career choices and even their titles are way too generic; For example what type of a doctor do you want to be?. However, you can’t ask a 6 year old that they will just stare at you so you wait until they are older say 16, 17, 18 you start asking expecting a direct detailed answer with a plan on how this person is going to achieve it, but isn’t that a bit unfair; for starters why should anyone have to decide what they want to do for the rest of their lives only when they di...
