People say life is not fair. I say we chose what we want in life. There are circumstances which are beyond our control. But there are still so many things that we can do and choose to shape our life the way we want it to be.
Take this simple analogy about human potential and limitation.
If I ask you to lift your right arm - you'll have no problem doing so
If I ask you to lift your left arm - you'll have no problem doing so.
If I ask you to lift one of your legs - you'll have no problem doing so.
If I ask you to lift your other leg - you will fall.Hence,
75% is within our control whilst the remaining 25% is for us to leave it to Allah to settle. That is tawakkal
- quoted.
I really love this.
