Life balance as wife, mother, employee and student.

Assalamualikum 
Haloo.. Haluu.. heloo..!

Yes, I know it's been a long long time i didn't update anything here. T_T

As a wife, mother, employee, and student at OUM, life can be very difficult.
Many times in person, I have been asked how I do it all.
The answer is simple: I schedule everything and write everything down. I have to or I will loose track of everything. I have two simple rules that maintain balance in my life and my family’s.

1. No studying until my son go to sleep.
2. Spend one full day with my family.

Those are my very simple guidelines. Without them my life would be a mess and everyone in it would be miserable. It is all based on my priorities. My family always comes first. My education comes second. My work comes third. My hobby (blogging of course) come last.

I am going constantly and I have times when I just can’t go anymore. Then I put myself first. I take a day off, sleeping, or go out with my family. Even if it is just for an hour, we all need time for ourselves. It just isn’t healthy not to. I focus on my family and work during the week and work on schoolwork all weekend. I have become the time management queen! Life sounds hectic but I am still one of the calmest and laid back people you may ever meet. I have yet to find much that will upset me or stress me out because I know things always find a way to work out. I have always felt there is a solution to everything and won’t quit until I find one.

Another important key is to stay healthy. Staying healthy helps maintain a healthy mental state. I also try to think positive at all times. I like to keep everyone around me enthusiastic and happy. I love people and am very happy surrounded by my family, friends, and co-workers. All of these simple things get me through each and every day. Sometimes it is hard but I just stay strong and keep my priorities straight.

WHY I CONTINUE MY STUDIES?

Because, slowly but surely, I’m getting the hit.

The wake-up call.

The persistent voice that keeps reminding me that “other” people’s problems are no longer “other” people’s problems.

And once you “get it”, believe me, you don’t think the way you did before.

You don’t act the way you did before.

Most of all, you’re not waiting to become your perfectly-actualized self to step up.

You’re just sick and tired of worshiping the problem and ready to be part of the solution.

Sometimes it takes this outrage to remind us that we not only have a choice in whether to play deep or shallow in life, but that life tends to reciprocate by giving us deep or shallow experiences in return.

So I’m putting it out there that, yes, I’m ready to play deeper.

I am who I am because of the good and the bad times in my life

Assalamualaikum everyone..

May Allah bless us today for the nice days ahead.. Start your day with Bismillah & always smile.. Everyday before my husband and i go to sleep we'd talk to each other about our day, our feelings, our problems, or about everything happen in our life, suddenly last night my spouse ask me "if i ever regret the choice i made in my past" 

One of the most difficult things to deal with in life is regret.. Sometimes something will happen, and you will respond in the wrong way, and for a while thereafter you will wish you had done it differently.. But eventually, you accept the experience as a lesson learned and you move on with your life..

The chances you didn’t take.. The decisions you waited too long to make.. The things you didn’t even try when you had the chance.. Those important words you left unspoken and deeds you left undone..

How many times have you heard the phrases “it’s all a part of your journey” or “struggle makes you stronger?” I can remember being told and also uttering these sayings to others.. They sound inspiring and hold a great truth..

Life is a journey filled with lessons, hardships, heartaches, joys, celebrations and special moments that will ultimately lead us to our destination, our purpose in life.. The road will not always be smooth in fact, throughout our travels, we will encounter many challenges..

Some of these challenges will test our courage, strengths, weaknesses, and faith.. Along the way, we may stumble upon obstacles that will come between the paths that we are destined to take.. In order to follow the right path, we must overcome these obstacles.. Sometimes these obstacles are really blessings in disguise, only we don't realize that at the time..

Along our journey we will be confronted with many situations, some will be filled with joy, and some will be filled with heartache.. How we react to what we are faced with determines what kind of outcome the rest of our journey through life will be like..

All my yesterdays, last weeks and last years have prepared me for all the tomorrows and next months and next years..

The mistakes have prepared me for others and the consequences of my actions..
All the troubles and hardship have shown me how good things can be when life is going right..

The cruel people I've met have taught me how not to be..
The friends I've made have shown me how wonderful life can be with good company..
The lies I've been told have made me grateful for the honesty I do recieve..

I am who I am because of the good and the bad times in my life.. Because of the kindness of people, the betrayal from friends, the people I miss and the things I've done..

The people that we meet on our journey, are people that we are destined to meet. Everybody comes into our lives for some reason or another and we don't always know their purpose until it is too late.. They all play some kind of role.. Some may stay for a lifetime.. others may only stay for a short while..

♥ Never regret anything, because at one time, it was exactly what you wanted..Learn from yesterday.. Live for today.. Hope for tomorrow..Life is too short to wake up with unnecessary regrets.. So, love the people who treat you right.. Forget about the ones who don’t.. Believe that everything happens for a reason.. If you get a chance-take it.. If it changes you-let it.. Nobody said it’d be easy, they just promised it’d be worth it..
It’s your life.. So live it.. "My Life or myself nowhere near perfect" I eat when I am bored.. I make up excuses for everything.. I have best friends and I have enemies.. I have drama and memories..  And that’s life.. Live it.. Love it.. Learn from it.. ♥
