• Like you I am a driven and determined person...⁣ ⁣ Sometimes I am! Sometimes I am not... ⁣ ⁣ Despite what my situation is I know that when I set myself a clear goal or target and I am committed to meeting it with all of my mental, physical, emotional, and spiritual DNA I will go for it and nothing will hold me back. ⁣ ⁣ Can you relate to this?

  • I've been up since 5am every day for the last week. It's hard not to want to appreciate the spectacular landscape that I'm in. Not only that, it's given me time to reflect on the knowledge I've gained from 3 of the most amazing teachers. Many of you know @brendonburchard is part of my story for the last 10 years or so, but I've really only just met @ethan_andrew_willis and @deangraziosi. As Brendon said in his closing words yesterday, they are all different and yet all the same. I want to learn from smart people who are connected to God and themselves. Even though they have different spiritual beliefs to me, they all have the same heart and desire in life which is to fulfil their God given potential. And for this I admire them and am so pleased that I've been able to learn from them. I'll be sharing some of what I've learned over the next few weeks with my friends here so keep an eye out! And for you, I might not know you properly but I only have love and appreciation for you. Thank you for being in my life.

  • I've been asked to read this to write a book review for the Journal of Practical Theology. It's given me a lot to think about in terms of identity in relation to the identity of Muslims, Islam, Practical Theology, UK, and so many other things including race, unconscious bias, and media. This is a great book. Made me think. *How do you define or explain your identity? Who are you?* All that is necessary for the triumph of evil is that good men do nothing.” Edmund Burke

  • We live in one of three zones. There's the conflict zone where we are unhappy with our lives. There's so much going wrong and we feel overwhelmed. Then there's the comfort zone where life is easy. Then there's the challenge zone where we push ourselves to better. We all have areas in our life where we know that we should be doing better. We have an obligation to be performing at our best, otherwise, we're just letting ourselves down.

  • I've been chasing this 📙 around my local libraries for about 2 months now and finally got to sit down and read it! The Book You Wished Your Parents Had Read by Philippa Perry (@thebookyouwish) is an AMAZING book. So many gems to pick out. Like most families, we have our arguments from time to time. This is one that I'm planning on sharing with them. A good rule of thumb when arguing is to do it with 'I-statements', not 'You-statements', for example, 'I feel hurt when you don't answer me when you're on the phone', not 'You're always ignoring me when you're on the phone.' See the difference? By framing the statement about you, it's less accusatory, but still gets your message across.

  • I'm really choosy about what I watch but I can really recommend TED Talk - The Secret Language of Trees by Camille Defrenne and Suzanne Simard. Ever since I watched Judi Dench’s My Passion For Trees on BBC about her love for trees, I have been fascinated by the way that trees help the earth. You will be too!

  • Resilience is one of my favourite things in positive psychology. - When you have resilience in your personal toolkit you have the ability to bounce back from adversity, to be able to deal with a major challenge in life and keep going, and to be able to continue living life. - Resilience is “bouncing back” or resisting to break under pressure. According to the American Psychological Association, resilience is the process of adapting well in the face of adversity, trauma, tragedy, threats or even significant sources of risks the ability to cope with a crisis or to return to pre-crisis status quickly Resilience exists when a person uses mental processes and behaviors in promoting personal assets and protecting them self from the potential negative effects of stressors. In other words - psychological resilience exists in people who develop psychological and behavioral capabilities that enables them to remain calm during crisis or chaos, and to move on from the event without long-term negative consequences. - What do you do to build resilience?

  • Resilience is generally thought of as a positive adaptation after a stressful or adverse situation. When a person is inundated by daily stress, it can disrupt their internal and external sense of balance, presenting both challenges and opportunities. - - What do you do to build resilience?

  • If I learn something from someone, I consider them to be one of my teachers 👨‍🏫. I've probably had thousands! From builders in the UK, to Egyptian 'zabbaleen' (people who collect the garbage), to Balinese stall holders and Chinese exporters. So many people and so many lessons. - - I'd love to hear your favourite lessons and who you learned it from in the comments below. 👇👇👇

  • My definition of teachers also includes coaches, mentors, and pretty much anybody that provides me with an opportunity to learn. For example, in the past few months I have come to realise that our builder is a great teacher for me. https://www.saiyyidah.com/blog/thebuilder
