It's All About the Struggle; Part VI Greed

Greed is to want something that you dont have. It's also a personality trait that although in some scenarious can lead to better achievements and improvements but it can never satisfy your soul or bring you inner peace and happiness.

The truth is, that greed in my opinion as some people say if you want to do business you got to have greed but I dont agree. The truth is if you ever want to get one step ahead you're just going to have to work with what you have and that is the opposite of being greedy, that is being content with the blessings that Allah swt has given you.

Some of us are blessed with riches, some of us are blessed with intelligence, some of us are blessed with athletic abilities and there are many things like this and we always have something that the other person doesnt' have or soemtimes somebody might have a lot more than us but there is always somebody that doenst or didnt have what we have.

Instead of being greedy, we have to look at what we have and work with it. Take care of it, enjoy it and not look at what somebody else has.

Time

The value of time cannot be simply understood
And the things that we do with it eat it up like its food
Whether its thoughts, whether its actions,
whether its production whether its exploitation
whether its good deeds or its bad
whether its wasting it and being sad
whether its giving to others
whether its taking from your brothers
whether its spent remembering Allah
and praying like theres no other God
Whether the intentions are pure
whether into a trap your being lure
but this second that has gone away
is dead forever from this day
from this moment from this world
whether dream or real
wal Asr
Inal insana la fi khusr
Illulazi na aminu wa amilus sali hati
watawa sow bil haqi
watawa sow bis sabr
