You think that it is other people that are holding you from being a good muslim? Think again, for it is all in your head. All starts with the ideas you and your Nafs unconsciously implant in your mind. While in reality, you could take the wheel anytime. You could be on control if you really want to, and no desire would be able to hold you back. The effect of an idea on your behaviour is very powerful. You dont notice it when it start. You would say even in joking, Naa, I would never be able to pray all the nawafil there is. I hope, at most, I get to do the main five this Ramadan, dont talk to me about Nawafil or you would say I just cant stop listening to music, I will do it all, anything but never talk to me about music, its just impossible. These ideas start growing in your unconsciousness. And as the human mind was created to direct you and help you fulfil your goals it will help you prove that what you said above is right; that you really cant do it.Your idea would become a belief in no time. And the more this belief lasts in your life the harder it is to get rid of it later. What can make Taking the wheel also more difficult, is the fact that your people do not help you when you say that you want to fix yourself. You hardly find the motivation, you make the right intention, you want to start and there you are blocked by someone. Each has his way of killing your intention, one would simply mock you You! you would stop saying bad words!! get off me dude! youve been swearing since Noah 3alayhi assalam. Others might just get jealous and since they were too weak to even try; they would say things thinking they are helping you, while it is all in their creative imagination mashallah, they would say Men! you pray Taraweeh and watch Movies!! that is haram, your taraweeh are gone with the wind. you are being a hypocrite. Pick one way Man. People are crazy wallah. The thing is, we are surrounded by those people and we will be in a way or another affected by them. Sometimes, those are our closest friends, or even families. So what we need to do is to find another source for our knowledge. Listen to lectures, ask your Imam, have the other side of people with you constantly so that you will create a balance. And have no worries a Sheikh will affect you more than your Shisha mate. And please try to stop your expectations. We expect a lot from our society and surroundings that we depend on them to make our own decisions about our lives. We blame it on them,In this country you can never repent, you can not have taouba. If you do it, they will get you back to jaheeliya the next day THAT IS NOT TRUE. Kill those ideas before they turn into beliefs. Decide for yourselves what you want to be. Make this Ramadan a turning point in your life. Know that the secret of getting ahead is getting started. Make goals, little ones if you must, but have it.Take the wheel and drive your life your way. Also dont forget to eat healthy and workout a bit. Be a BMW not a fat belly French car. Ramadan Kareem to all and dont forget us with your do3a2. - Abdou Boukeffa
