There’s much to be learnt from the 1 month of fast I’ve experienced lately. I was not only fasting but at the same time learning how to curb my emotions and controlling the bad desires. I learnt how not to be angry and let it go when someone decides to pull my strings. I tend to give in to other people’s complains. I learn to not gossip and badmouth, prevent myself from saying all those vulgarities people keep on saying.
I learn to accept the hard truth and forgive myself for the mistakes I’ve done. I learn how to love myself and despite not having to have everything, I’m contented with having to have nothing and make something out of it.
The 1 month has allowed me to open up to approach others and ask them for forgiveness for the things I’ve done. I’ve learned to willingly accept that mistakes is a part of a human being’s life, and feel the better about it.
I was able to read books during spare time, to read up books on life, ‘The Meta Secret’, its humble teachers and its knowledge.
I’ve learnt to appreciate the people around me for having to break fast with me during the occasion, and bond more.
After all that, it has finally come to the end of fast. Its time to celebrate Hari Raya. I take my life lessons with me and bring it with me in my pocket so that I can remind myself of the better man.
Selamat Hari Raya to my Muslim friends Happy National Day for you Singaporeans!
Thanks for the support and i hope you can also pick up some of the life lessons of this post and apply them in your daily life !
