I get asked a lot about life balance and organization. I think everyone can benefit from that, right?

And so we are going to try in this podcast to touch on them in relation to the end of the year.

And you know, one thing that really helps me to always plan for the next year is reflecting, like, in that the same way that Allah sabhanu'a

mentions in the Quran.

The same way Allah wants us to look out at the stars in the sky and the birds and the

trees and contemplate life and all he's created.

I kind of do that similar type of effect with my year and kind of what happened and

contemplating whether Allah was pleased with

it, whether I was pleased with it, whether or not it's me fulfilling my purpose and whether or not

it's realistic what I had set out for myself and kind of like what happened, like a little mini

mental recap of the year. And I look into a lot of things and I ask

myself a lot of questions that it really helps me to get a grip on what happened, why it happened,

and how I can have an even better year in the next year, inshallah, and for me, it's really made

the difference in being able to have a more closeness to Allah, upon and what I said,

I make sure I reach my true purpose on this earth.

And so I really, really enjoy and I savor this time of year

because it's my time to just slow down a bit and reflect.

I'm going to take you along for the ride with me.

Let's go. Hello.
