Memorable moments in life
Everyday moments are often memorable. The blessing of Islam, nurturing parents and a happy marriage cannot be overemphasized.
I am deeply thankful and blessed for the special, unique, amazing parents, husband, siblings, children, in-laws, family and friends in my life who support me, uplift me and bring joy to my soul. My people are astounding and marvellous. Which of the bounties of Allah will I deny?
However, it is noteworthy to mention a recent happening I am forever grateful for. My recent interest in book reading is a blessing I will forever thank Allah for. O Allah thank You for choosing me to be a bookworm. It is a sensational activity that has positively impacted my life.
Lessons learnt
I can’t believe I have been missing out on this vital skill my whole life. Not only does regular reading increase the fluid intelligence required for solving problems, but it can also actually increase your brainpower. No one, it seems, wants to age disgracefully. Getting older is inevitable (and certainly better than the alternative). You can get better with age if you give your brain a leg up by cultivating a lifetime reading habit. You will probably achieve a sunnier outlook on life if you establish a consistent reading habit. And rightly so, I have come to realize that reading is one of the best strategies for aging well. A mastery that can teach you about things beyond your daily horizons. More reading activities will improve the brain’s connectivity. The impact is significant enough to stimulate the brain to delay late-life cognitive decline.
In an age where people have grown up with the internet, reading must be seen as a skill required for lifelong success.
Who wouldn’t want to heighten his/her overall brain function, be more imaginative, increase vocabulary and comprehension, increase memory, maintain concentration, learn new things, go on an adventure without leaving the house and increase worldview? Who wouldn’t want to de-stress, fight depression symptoms, improve conversational skills, be shown what’s possible, increase emotional intelligence, be shown new perspectives, be inspired, dream big and grow? Reading is essential to just about everything in life.
Philosophy of life
If you won’t be better tomorrow than you are today, then what do you need tomorrow for?
