 Then, since the book was written in 4 years, how can I absorb it in a week and write a review? I have been reading and reflecting on this book since last year. A few things are amazing to share. Are you an early riser, still struggling to maintain a healthy routine in your life?  Regardless of doing house chores, courses, volunteer work, using all your energy and time in so many things need to be pursued and feel empty, not accomplished, on the contrary, it's burning out ...  I have read this book with the intention to what I am doing wrong. Why am I not achieving the required results, regardless of having so much potential?   "It's never too late to start to become legendary" , enlightened hope inside me Writer claims heroic transformation, let's see what we conquer. The writer has tried his best to engage the reader with the book through a story of an artist, who wants to create incredible art and a young entrepreneur, suffering from depression of a new manag...

Count Your Blessings Not Worries

By Benish Shahzadi Atif -

It's a famous saying that counts your blessings; for a while it lifts us up. We feel relaxed... But what if we stop worrying? my entire house chores are waiting for me... My kids duties, my family goals ... It could be fullfil only if I will start worrying, taking action and start working....  Not everyone has that optimism to stay happy all the time... To do all jobs to be successful all around.  It's been seen that many geniuses are struggling with family life.  Many family-orientated people are struggling with financial security...  In this world no one is holistically happy... One string of everyone is stretched. Yes, if you will show perseverance, face with courage, and accept the challenges... The journey could be easier. It's ok to feel low, sad, and worried. It's a natural emotion. It's a part of our life. It teaches us valuable lessons that sometimes we don't learn in moments of prosperity.  There is reason to be concerned ... To perceive ... To get ove...

By Benish Shahzadi Atif -

 What is Ikigai? The Japanese philosophy of finding happiness in life’s purpose. Do you think what is the meaning of my life?  Am I here to just live longer or do I have another purpose?  These phrases inspired my curiosity to read this book. I visualised All successful person worldly and eternally ( AL-Mutaqqeen, Salheen, and  Shuhda), so they knew their purposes. Roughly Ikigai is a Japanese concept, “Happiness of always being busy”.  It was amazing to know that the word “retirement” doesn’t exist in their dictionary. They believe in having purpose throughout life, which keeps them moving and doing. So how does it inspire people to stay active until the very end?  What is the secret of a long happy life? Writers of this book visited towns of Japan, Named Okinawa and Ogimi, interviewed their inhabitants, and observed  the key factors of longevity...

  "If someone hits you or bashes you, and your first reaction is:" Deep back inside your heart or brain, you have decided to cut down ties with him or her. You say in your thoughts or loudly, I won't talk to them again. Moreover, you continue planning what else action I can take, So that person or thing might not bother me again.                                                                                                                                                        Or  You take a deep breath and sit down and think "What could you do?".

The decision you make is leading you towards your goals. Its like some unseen powers hold your hands and gudie you, lead you, and show you the right path. With this journey you unwrap many more  blessings, experience , and lessons alhamdulillah. You explore significant spiritual and even worldly horizons. I was determined to do fasting and finishing At least one Quran in these 10 days of Dhilhajah. Fasting was going well , but couldn't find myself reciting Quran instead busy with watching reels in free time.

I had started quran from juz 23  and thought, its alright if you just finish these 8...
