Your Dream Team!

One of the injustices we can do to ourselves is not believing in ourselves and just always listening to others. And others may not always be our best supporters (even if we think they 'should'!).

But, are we the best supporters for our loved ones who have dreams and goals they want to achieve? Hmm....

We're in December and 2013 is almost over. Now is the time to have a quick look at those goals you set for the year. 

Be realistic. Things happen. They are supposed to happen. I've completed some and some I am restarting this month (my studies - after a year break!) to get a head start.

I ain't waiting til 1st January - this moment is all I have!

We are a working progress. Let this be a reflection moment and let this be a trigger to get us focused again and back on track insha'Allah. 

Now would be a good time to look at our goals and achievements so far. 

Remember though, each moment is our only real moment - this moment is all we have and this moment could be the moment you decide to make some positive changes in your life!

Always keep the end in mind - Jannah al-Firdaus.

Do something phenomenonally awesome right now. Start up your very own 'Dream Team' and become part of someone's dream team!

The Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) said : "None of you will believe until you love for your brother what you love for yourself." Related by Bukhari & Muslim

In this dream team you have your supporters, mentors and coaches. And you would be the same in someone else's dream team.

We all need A* players in our world - on our side. God created us social beings and it is in social settings we thrive and excel.

"Help you one another in Al-Birr and At-Taqwa (virtue, righteousness and piety); but do not help one another in sin and transgression." {Qur'an; 5:2} (partial)

This dream team will be there to support you through all your ups and downs and will encourage you to excel.

What you think?

Go on, start your dream team right now :)


Action Point & Tips:

1. What do you want to achieve in your 'Dream-Become-Reality' Life?

- Grab a pen and paper and draw a circle in the middle of the page.

- Slice the circle into however many areas you want to work on in your life (for each person it is different - it could be work, family biz, or it could be work, family, biz, health, kids etc)

- Rate each slice of your circle out of 10 - so for example you know health is very important to me so right now i would give it a 6 or 7 out of 10.

- Look at the top 3 areas that you want to work on right now and for each of these ask and answer the following questions.

a) What do i want to achieve in this area of my life?

b) What three things do i need to do right now to achieve them?

c) Who can help me get what i need to achieve this now?

2. Who do you want in your 'Dream Team'?

- These could be living or dead. You know why? There's many who have passed on yet their legacy and message continues - just like Rasool-Allah, all his companions and all our pious predecessors. They have numerous works and books from the seerah all the way to their biographies and inventions - so add them into your  team.

- Living - who are they? Are they those who have already achieved what you want to achieve? Those you admire and look up to for their moral, ethics, beliefs and principles? Or are they someone living on your street who is an unsung hero and has so much to offer you in terms of advice and nuggets. Never underestimate who we can learn from insha'Allah.

- Write down the names of all these people and what they have to offer you in what you are trying to achieve for yourself.

3. Whose 'Dream Team' do you want to be part of?

- Has anyone approached you asking for advice and nuggets? Not just those who always seem to have issues but those who really want to achieve something and look up to you.

- Contact them and offer to mentor when you can. Of course you set your own time and days when you can be available but let them know that you are here to help.

- Could you teach others this message about creating a dream team? If so, go ahead and do so now - share this post.
