The journey of discovering Yourself

Self-discovery should be an important goal for everyone. Some people go through life playing a role to mask who they really are. Others simply become what others want them to be. “Know thyself” is a classic platitude that continues to offer a valuable reminder today. It is only through the discovery of self that we can identify our purpose and actualize our potential. On the other hand, failure to embark on a pilgrimage of self-discovery will cheat us of the opportunity to understand who we are and what we want out of life, as well as how we can help others during our time on this earth.

Before my Journey from Amal Fellowship, I used to think about others and just value others. For example, what they respond to is merely a good decision, what they act is really a Fantastic Job. I always degrade and depressed myself. It was like the darkest hours of my life when was merely disappointed about my life.

“The darkest hour is always just before dawn breaks,”

When I joined Amal I felt nervous and lose my confidence when I saw a lot of persons in the meeting that were chatting and discussing with much more confidence. Afterward, I also started speaking in the session. Our Program Associate (MAM ZEEST) and Program Manager (MAM AROOJ) gave many great sessions with their kind and soft words that really touched my heart. In my one-on-one session, Mam Zeest told me how to finalize your goals and how to bring improvement in yourself by bringing positivity and speaking in public.

In the very first 2 weeks, I learned ‘knowing yourself’, ‘how to lead without authority’ for career planning’, Fixing stuff around yourself, ‘how to make your goals ‘SMART GOALS and just start your goal’, etc.

I loved the part of ‘Knowing yourelf’ from Amal Academy. It brings my life on track. It told me how to live your life with and zest. I start thinking and learning about myself that what type of qualities and possessions I have in my life. Then at this moment, My mind is relaxed and I’m sure about my decisions and plans what I have to make during the whole journey of my life. After gaining Constructive and Positive feedbacks on the progress I learned about the amazing things that I have.

I learned many skills from the sessions like problem-solving techniques, communication skills, confidence skills, etc. I got much confidence to speak in public after knowing myself.

I learned ‘’Enjoy every moment of your life, Colour it in your own way, make each day your masterpiece, be positive, and always show gratitude towards others, live for the moments you can’t express in words’’.

‘’The biggest adventure you can take is to live the life of your dreams.’’

Instead of regretting on yourself, Capture the moment of Today that will wow your hearts tomorrow 😍😍

I’m really thankful to Allah that I have such a kind and soft-hearted #Amal Family. Thankful to my PM & PA for improving me and sown the seed of positivity in my life.
