Question:
Assalaamu’ alaikum wa rahmatullah
Why is it that I cannot turn my passion positively into good use to benefit
others as well as myself? I seem to be mired in old as well as new unbeneficial habits?
I can’t seem to turn my life around for the better. I hate to think that my life will be mired in my sordid circumstances. Something i miss.
Thank you very much.
Answer:
wa `alaykum salam,
Self-assessment is the first step to improvement, and one of the hardest aspects because it is so difficult to confront our own ugly characteristics. That is why it’s recommended by Mawlana Shaykh Muhammad Hisham Kabbani to have a notebook and fill out every night a self-inventory of actions of the day.
