One of the most powerful lessons I ever learned in my life, hands down, not kidding, is the one I'm going to share today.

Why do I say that?

Well, this is the one that came to me in the time of my darkest.

Like I've talked about this before and mentioned it and hinted at here and there.

Well, about 10 to 15 years ago,

I was extremely suicidal, even though I was a very much religious practicing Muslim,

you know, because our community doesn't always understand how mental health works. I was in a

really dark time because I felt stuck and trapped. And that happens to a lot of people.

I just couldn't get the thought process to be any more positive. Just stop. I felt trapped,

like I said, in whatever situation I was in. And I just was like, I don't want to wake up to this every morning.

And every morning it was just a struggle to get up and get through the day and be productive and everything else. So with the da'a, Allah, Allah, Suhpana'u't'a answered it.

And that first beginning of what he unveiled to me is what I'm going to share today.
