If you want to change ALlah (swt) will help you. If you don't want to change, Allah (swt) doesn't help those who can't help themselves.

Usama Khan

-Find someone to look up to. Someone to go to halaqas with.
-We humans love money and manage it well
-We don't value our blessing until we lost it

Does losing time hurt as much as losing money?

-One of the questions we will be asked on the Day Of Judgement is how we spent our time

-How much of your day is spent for Allah (swt)
-Look at family life
-Look at a Global Level-->Poverty
-What is our purpose in life?
-How are we going to contribute?

-Jot down what you did good so you can feel good about yourself ex: I woke up for fajr
-Jot down what needs improvement so you can work on it.

Yasser Haddara

"Hold down knowledge by writing it down"- Prophet (saw)

1) " If you find one person and their two days are equal, they have lost" -Prophet (saw)
-You should be improving yourself everyday
-Best way to measure yourself:
Am I better today than I was yesterday?
Did I Improve?

-out of all the things I want to do today number them.

3)You have to know your capacity
-Push yourself until you can't anymore
