Where do I

start?

By Aameenah March 2012



The most profound questions areusually the simplest ones...



• “If what I am is what I

have, then who am I

when what I have is

lost.”





Be daring, be different, be impractical,be anything that will assert integrity of

purpose and imaginative vision against the play-it-safers, the creatures of the

commonplace, the slaves of theordinary.”



There are expectations to be met...

As a Muslim

As YOU

As a success

You are a rare specie, there fore you can’tafford to fail. The only thing you can control is your

attitude.


In every situation, there are

people who "get it" and

people who don't. Those who

get it have figured out the

formula for success. Those

who don't spend a lot of time

looking puzzled, frustrated,

and doing without.



Personal Development andLeadership is all about leading

your life and not managing it.

It‟s about creating a signature you It‟s about being the driver...



“ Allah does not changethe condition (blessings)

of a people until they

change (what is within)themselves”

(Surah Ar-Ra„d, 13:11)



Tie your camel…



“The intelligent person is the one whocalls his own Self to account and

works for the Hereafter; and theincapable is one who follows hisdesires (without any control over it)

and then depends on Allah”

(At-Tirmidhi)



Open minds and hearts tonew information, ideas,

points of view and be willing to try new ways of

self development

WHY PERSONAL DEVELOPMENT?



PARADIGM SHIFT:The neighbour and the

window



If you keep doing thesame thing, you’ll

always get the sameresult



Consistent effectivenessdepends on capability to

keep improving(jihad of the self )

in order to get desiredresult, over and over

again



The greatest stress in life is to hold someoneelse accountable for something they can't

control.

The only person you control is

you .




“…And whatever any soul does, reaps its own

consequences unto itself, and no bearer of burdens shall

bear the burden of another”(Surah Al- An‟aam, 6:164)




"We do not stop playing because we are old; we grow old

because we stop playing. There are only four secrets to staying

young, being happy, and achieving success.

You have to laugh and find humor every day.

You've got to have a dream. When you lose your dreams, you

die. We have so many people walking around who are dead

and don't even know it!“

"There is a huge difference between growing older andgrowing up. If you are nineteen years old and lie in bed for

one full year and don't do one productive thing, you will turn

twenty years old. If I am eighty-seven years old and stay in bed

for a year and never do anything, I will turn eighty-eight.

Anybody can grow older. That doesn't take any talent or

ability.“

"The idea is to grow up by always finding the opportunity in

change. Have no regrets. The elderly usually don't have

regrets for what we did, but rather for things we did not do.

The only people who fear death are those with regrets."



Maturity develops in Stages – Evolution through self-renewal


Dependence Independence Interdependenc

e LowMaturity

HighMaturity



“I can’t do it”

“You are responsible”

“It’s not my fault”

“That’s how it’s always been”

“You take care of me and if thingsgo wrong, I blame you”




“I can do it”

“I am responsible”

“I am self -reliant”

“I can choose”

Self-discovery, self mastery, Privatevictories


If thou canst walk onwater, thou art no

better than a straw. If thou canst fly in the

air, thou art no better than a fly. Conquer

thy heart that thoumayest become

somebody.



“We can do ittogether” “We can

combine our talent

and best

practices…”

Public victories,

“What I want, what

you want, what wecan accomplish

together”


Principle ofSalat

1+1=27



“If you don‟t know where you

are going, then any road willtake you there”

(Zahid Parvez)




What is your road map

And man shall have nothing but what he strives

for.(Q53:39) You need a MAP and a COMPASS to get to your

destination.

Your MAP are your clearly defined Goals and / in a

Personal Mission Statement Your COMPASS are the Values and Principles you

will uphold to get there

You can never GO it alone... But to get help, you have got to be helpful...not

helpless.

Life’s most urgent question is...”What are you doingfor others”.

Avoid the tumour twins...COMPETING andCOMPARING

Only compete to do good deeds but clarify yourintentions

If you think you’re the best..look again, there’ssomeone better. It’s a wasted effort to compare.



Remember, “the mutual rivalry for accumulating the

things of this world distractsyou (from the most important things) until you visit your

graves”

(Surah At-Takaathur, 102:1-2)By Aameenah March 2012



“ Nothing shall be accounted unto a person except what he

strives for, and in time he shall see the results of his striving”

(Surah Al-Najm, 53:39-40).

but

there is enough time for themost important things
