So I asked a simple question "are you happy?"
I started to see a lot of "I'm grateful for life and health"
Excuse me read the question again.
I didn't ask you what you're grateful for.
I'm beginning to know one of the reasons why religious and socially polite people usually stay sad and end depressed or suicidal.
I'm beginning to wonder why we live together but so apart from one another.
A society that's meant to support and cater for the needs of another person has become a society where we'll rather die in hunger and ill health than speaking about it for fear of rejection or for fear of being tagged "ingrate"
No. I know before. I'm not just knowing because I was deeply depressed sometimes back.
When you're religious, your expected outlook in all situation is meant to be "Alhamdulillah"
When you're socially polite, all you need to project is "I'm fine"
You're not fine please.
You need help.
4 Ramadhaan(Muslim Compulsory Fasting) ago, people were excited to be welcoming it. Everywhere I saw people going to market, discussing about stocking up the house, discussing about where to pray taarawee(night prayers during Ramadhaan) etc.
I was wallowing in depression and great fear.
No money to stock up food.
We were one plate at a time that's even if there's any plate of food per day sef.
To worsen the matter, we were given quick notice to vacate the house.
We prayed prayed prayed.
We woke up in the late night for miracle to happen.
We were given 6 month free, the Ramadhaan month made it 8 month free we had stayed.
The house owner brought a caterpillar to the house.
And labourers too.
Every morning they kept banging the gate.
We could not beg the public to help.
We were too shy to do that.
We only told one person we knew could help.
He wrote a 5million draft immediately to buy the house and made us stay there as long as we wish.
It was a huge relief.
The second day, we woke up early.
Prayers had been answered.
We could barely sleep before dawn.
We called our helper that we were set.
The worst thing happened.
He misplaced the draft.
He reported to the police and bank immediately so that he wouldn't lost the money.
But displacing that draft was a no no sign for him.
So he boycotted us.
We closed a deal before the situation got hot and we were hoping to get the money.
The customer avoided our calls.
Our mind almost choked out.
Everything was against us.
We took the courage to finally spilled it to some people we expected the least from.
They helped us raised the money within 48hours and we relocated immediately.
Our prayers are usually not as we expected.
Being in trial doesn't mean you've been forsaken.
It doesn't mean you're not grateful.
You just need to learn to losen up a bit.
God will not come down to help.
Gratitude doesn't make our life perfect.
Gratitude make us to bounce back easily to a happy state.
It makes us to see our unhappiness in a good way.
Please when someone sincerely ask you about your state, learn to speak up.
If you have a problem, learn to speak up.
During this Ramadhaan, I pray to God to let me be helpful to people even though I need help myself.
I realised most of us are empty from within.
Those who answered my questions sincerely would either be given my one on one 1 hour call session, my Talent2millions book that has helped a lot of people in self discovery and starting a global business, my arbitrage money secret and my complete WhatsApp Selling all for free.
Spiritually is not religiosity.
It's combining religiosity with humanity.
One love🤪
