Completely understand ya!
I always try something new and then promptly forget what I started and then look back and think 'Why on earth didn't I finish that off?'
Seriously, I can't wait until I finish my degree, that's probably the only thing I've been persistent with. Even then, I have off days, where I don't feel like doing the set assignments and all.
Travelling'd be cool...I think the best type would be not the one that's planned out, but the random tours and all...
And as for the onewho fears standing in front of His Lord and restrainsthe soul from impure evil desires and lusts, verily, Paradise will be his abode [79:40-41]
hello stuck in a loop friends, I too have had such happenings in my life
the best solution is never do something you don't want to unless if there is no other choice..
Yeah, it's like doing something that you know isn't right and you keep vowing to yourself that you will halt from doing so but then you just end up doing it again and again, never being able to move on and progress from that. It becomes a vicious cycle, may Allaah give us enough eeman to break the cycle insha'Allaah.
Have you set new, more challenging goals for yourself? That's probably the first step to progress. From the looks of it, you already chose something. If you're already working for it just be patient. : ). Sometimes, it feels like you're hitting the same crack on a dam, until one day the crack just breaks down the whole dam.
(im so sorry for the cheesy analogy).
When i was 15, i wanted to dive into Islam. Those days, knowing i could complete long research papers and clean the entire house, i thought of course i could develop a commmitment to Allah
(swt) and pray and fast and turn my life around. I was physically prepared and somewhat mentally
prepared. I struggled day to day trying to fulfill my duties - never got close to any of my bigplans within those months or even that year plus the next few. I thought it was b/c i was truly horrible Muslim, unfrateful, unworthy of Islam...etc....I was disappointed and impatient and practically depressed with myself.
all these years later, i realize that i had been progressing - although, i didn't do everything I meant to do(mainly b/c i wasnt ready and circumstance), by circumstance/Allah's Will I spent that time deeply in search for knowledge and inspiration to help my faith. Slowly,everything started fitting together and I could easily fulfill my duties. It was almost random, a miracle for me. All that time, I was in despair b/c I worried that all the knowledge I was learning was useless if I were to never to act from it (b/c i believed myself incapable of doing so)But you know what, Allah (swt) is the Best of Planners.
Im not sure if that even relates to your original post. Hope it helps
