I don’t believe in expending energy on something you can’t do anything about. If there was some easy way of fixing things, I’d probably do it. — Francesca Annis

Fixing Stuff Around Yourself

When we look around ourselves, we see many things which are out of fixing. These out fixing things make mental disturbance and restless. I can’t get mental rest without fixing these things. In my opinion one person can fixing the things around only he/she fix his/herself. For Example, before fixing things around me I want to fix some things in myself. Like by fixing, I want to Increase my confidence level, want to know about my weakness and strength, make my self stable mentally, need to improve my communication skills. In short before fixing things around yourself know yourself, fix yourself and then create your self.

As a Muslim, To keep things fix in your life and workplace there is need to follows the basic ethics of Islam which teaches us to keep your life well maintained and disciplined on every single occasion .

Now after fixing some things in myself I want to fix the things around me.

Fixable state

I need to fixed the area of my bedroom. I need to fixed the things that was lying on my bed like I was doing my project work of Amal academy. During my work I was place my register, ballpoint, laptop and its charger on the bed. When I was completing my work and go from the room for dinking water then came back and looked that my bed was very messy. I thought that I need to fix it because if someone came to my room and look at my bed he/she may assume that I am messy and lazy person.

So by fixing I place my all things in right way and clean my bedsheet.

Ideal state

After completing this

I was very happy because I had done it by myself. It gave me feeling of cleanliness/purification. There is also importance of cleanliness in our Islam and fixing things is all about cleanliness/purification.

The Prophet MUHAMMAD (SAW) said

“Purification is the half of faith”

We should do these things by its own and don’t wait others that they asked and said us and then wo do it. I can do it even if it is not part of my activity.

By fixing things we learn that leadership not require the high post or authority. Leadership is all about the responsibility, self development and knowing yourself. By doing this activity, one can find that he/she can able to do this activity or not and he/she is able to take responsibility of a work. In short by fixing things we can learn some new things and experiences during a day. Means something is better that nothing. “Every day may not be good but there is something good in everyday.”
