Watch this short video given by Matt Cutts, “Try something new for 30 days”. Be sure you watch the video before reading my post below.
Mr. Cutts encourages us to try something we’ve always wanted to do but have never done (or even started) for the next 30 days. Think of an item to add to or subtract from your daily list. The item does not have to be a big challenge but rather sustainable. According to Mr. Cutts, the next 30 days will go away no matter what (whether we change something or not), so why don’t we do something valuable to make these coming/past days more memorable?
Sounds encouraging? How about implementing the idea to the upcoming month of Ramadan?
Do something different this time of the year to make it special and unique between you and Allah سبحانه وتعالى
Add something new (and halal, of course) that you haven’t done before during the entire month of Ramadan. That is, follow through each and every single day of the month of Ramadan.
An acquaintance told me one time that during the fasting she couldn’t think of anything else but food. From the moment she woke up, all she could think of is what she’s going to eat upon the fast breaking time. Do you experience the same thing? What can you do to break the thoughts of food and focus on your ibadah (worship)? Why not set up this as your goal to challenge yourself to overcome during this Ramadan? Read here for tips (or a review) on how to fight back Shayton’s whisper on hunger during fasting.
Once you identify an item of improvement to practice during Ramadan, next step is to make out a solid and practical step-by-step plan to employ it every single day for the entire Ramadan. Evaluate your plan from time to time to ensure you are on the right track. Insha Allah, after 30 days, the implemented good habit will become yours to stay.
Tell me your plan and how you will follow through! I may not reply to all your comments but I read them all (and enjoy reading them all) carefully.
