One who cannot change their mind cannot change anything.
I love this quote because it makes us think about whether we are changing or have ever changed our minds and more importantly HOW.
I don't know what others find effective in changing their own minds (I know us sisters do it a lot) but I really find the Quran an effective way to help me shift my thinking day by day but surely. and we all know that
Thoughts lead to words, words lead to actions and actions become habits (I'm not sure now who said it but my mother always quotes it, I'll let you know)
The point is! If we can work regularly on changing our thoughts then we can change everything . eventually. I must post the sister's conversion from Sunni to Shia and thats REAL changing the mind if ever. Because it's one thing to come from outside of the din (which, my shades off too all of you because you people have real courage and strength and I'd love to meet you all one day), but coming from inside of Islam is a whole different ball game. But all have great challenges and greater rewards so Allah bless you all.
Back to my point, and lets see if I can actually make it.
Imam Ali (as) said:
If it was not for my regularity, Ali would surely have been ruined.
That's how important it is to stay on something we are trying to achieve without giving up or getting off the superhighway of momentum. Just get back on again and carry on. I think we as humans tend to give up too easily (not talking about Aries heres- powerhouses of will power :)). Eventually, we will be able to change our minds and who knows what levels our Imam (mahhr) will help us reach if we do it in the name of being the best for his army.
I only wanted to post the quote here...so Im out.
Take care.and thanks for visiting. Please come back.
