Be Successful, Be Blissful
by Sh Waleed Basyouni

All of us want to be successful, we all want to strive for the best things in life but somehow, we’re just stuck in the middle of nowhere don’t know where to begin or we don’t know how to undo certain things in life cause they delay our progress.

So here’re the 10 tools of success.

  1. Note that mistakes and failures are not the enemy of success.
    1. We can either give up or get inspired by it
    2. When Allah puts us in the midst of hardship, know that He wants to strengthen us. 

2.  You can be successful by using the ability to use talents that Allah gives to you. How do you utilise your talents is how you give back to Allah.

3.  Success is based on the principle  of excellency.
We’re here to thrive, not only to survive. We’re here to live. Don’t live the life if you want to pass by.

4. Victory is attained with patience. The analogy of body builder is given. Well, if you’re to have muscle, the first thing is that your instructor will tell you to stretch your muscle, you’ll feel the pain, for few days. But it’s okay because in order for it to grow, you need to stretch it first. So, to attain success and victory, pain must be felt in some way or another.

5. Success is based on you attitude in life.  “Attitude leads to latitude, how far you go in life.”

6. Success is based on action. We have to work hard to achieve something, then only Allah’s mercy will come along.

7. Be clear on you planning.

8. Have good role model in life. (Despite all the Muslim scholars, I still adore my parents and despite them, I adore Vivy Yusof still)

9. Trust yourself.

10. And remember that success is a gift from Allah SWT. With this wonderful thought, you will have humility, you’ll be humble and most importantly, you will thank Allah for everything you have in your life. You have nothing, Allah has everything. And if He gives you everything that you’ve ever desired, He still have loads to give.

InsyaAllah.
