I said I’d list 3 new things I’m grateful for on each post. This will help me on my journey to Enoughism. So the 3 things I’m grateful right now are:
- Being able to reach out to muslims all over the world via my Twitter account- I am humbled to be sharing my writing with you all 🙂
- Having been snowed in because of ‘The Beast From The East’, I’ve managed to catch up with a lot of work I’ve had to do and spent quality time ‘relaxing’ with the kids.
- I am so grateful for having a warm, dry bed to sleep in. I was reflecting on this as I lay in bed last night and listened to the howling wind outside. I pray that all those people who are homeless in the cold found somewhere warm and safe to spend the night. I am very grateful for organisations like Streetlink whose job it is to help these people.

Since you’re here I have a small favour to ask. More people are reading the the7ofus.blog than ever but advertising revenues are non-existent. And unlike many lifestyle magazines, I haven’t put up a paywall – I want to keep my writing as open as I can. So you can see why I need to ask for your help. These posts take a lot of time and hard work to produce. It would be amazing if you could help fund me by donating a coffee a two to keep me going! Please press here to give.

Every choice implies a change, which demands courage. Paradoxically we prefer the fear of change and a constant insatisfaction than being brave…

[…] If you don’t believe in God, please do comment below to let me know how you deal with things that are out of your control. Surely, the only way to success can’t possibly be to bend to the will of people. There has to be a larger purpose; a belief that things will work out, whether you have certain people on your side or not. I guess, for muslims, it’s linked with the belief in destiny. […]
