1. Sleep less. This is one of the best investments you can make to make your life more productive and rewarding. Try getting up one hour earlier for 40 days and it will develop into a powerful habit. Start by praying Salatut Tahajjud at least once a week. You will feel alive and invigorated.
2. Set aside one hour every morning for personal development matters. Meditate, visualize your day, read the Qur’an to set the tone of your day, listen to it. Watch the sun rise once a week or be with nature.
3. Always remember the key principle that the quality of your life is the quality of your communication. This means the way you communicate with others and, more importantly, the way you communicate with yourself. What you focus on is what you get. If you look for the positive this is what you get.
4. Learn to be still. Develop the skill of sitting quietly, enjoying the powerful silence for at least ten minutes a day. Simply think about what is important to you in your life. Reflect on your mission. Silence indeed is golden.
5. Associate only with positive, focused people who you can learn from and who will not drain your valuable energy with complaining and uninspiring attitudes
6. You must have a mission statement in life. This is simply a set of guiding principles which clearly state where you are going and where you want to be at the end of your life.
7. No one can insult or hurt you without your permission.. There are no negative experiences only experiences which aid in your development and toughen you
8. Be soft as butter when it comes to kindness but tough as thunder when it comes to principle.
9. Try fasting at least one day a week. It has an amazing effect. If not that the middle three days of the month – 13, 14,15 of the lunar month.
10. Remember that forgiveness is a virtue that few develop, but one that is most important to maintaining peace of mind. Practice forgiveness especially in those situations where it is seemingly difficult.
11. Ask not what this world can do for you but, rather, what you can do for this world. Make service an important goal in your life. It is the best investment of time. The quality of your life boils down to the quality of your contribution to others. Leave a legacy for those around you.
12. Finally never forget the power of Dua.
LIVING ISLAM
Close your eyes and transport yourself back in time to a busy market place of Makkah – the hub of the Arab business world. Life was about material acquisition; the strong thrived on exploiting the weak, women were used and abused and success was measured through the size of the purse. Suddenly a man stands up whom you recognise as Muhammad (SAW) – The Truthful and Trustworthy one and he says:
• “If you wish to be truly successful then be aware of your Creator,
• When you see each other greet each other,
• Tell the truth,
• Make good your trust,
• Maintain blood relations,
• Be good to your neighbours,
• Avoid indecency
• In the dark of the night when all creation are sleeping, wake up and talk to your Rabb and there will be nothing stopping you from reaching your full potential. “
These first words of Rasulullah (SAW) are in essence living Islam.
