Taking health for granted January 22, 2007
Posted by omair in : Uncategorized , 2 commentsAlhamdullilah, I have been blessed by Allah SWT with good health the majority of my life. I have never had any break or major illness (with the exception of having my appendix removed, which exempted me from exams :D)
However during the Christmas break, I contracted a simple flu. Which escalated into a not so simple cough, congestion, and required anti-biotics.
 Prior to that I was in an excellent groove of productivity. I would come home from work and read a book, spend time with the family, explore investment opportunites - Things that I felt were productive.
  Then I got sick, and I was “too sick to do anything”. So all I did was watch tv, and play civilization 3. I got really lazy, and I used my sickness as an excuse. Alhamdulilah I got better about one month later, but I’m still wasting time with television and lazyness.
Inshallah this post will be the final step to get out of this rut I’m in, and back into a more productive routine.
Alhamdulilah this short experience has been a reminder to use my health while I have it. There are a lot more fulfilling things I can be doing with my health and my time, rather than things which amount to nothing.
But then again…nothing is easy :p
