The beginning of maturity in this life is self-knowledge.
Awareness is not related to being young or old. Some prophets (peace be upon them) received wisdom and prophethood after the age of forty, while others received them in childhood, from infancy and the cradle, such as Jesus and John (peace be upon them). A child in the cradle and an elderly person in their prime are equal in intellect and essence.
To begin your true journey:
1. Get rid of distractions: First, be clear about what you want. How can you ask God to give you something when you don't know what you want? Clarity of purpose is a prerequisite for receiving and a light that guides your insight.
2. Make a decision and don't be afraid: The bravest step a person takes at the beginning of revealing their true essence is deciding how to think—or to think about what they are thinking. Turn the idea over in your mind, and work it around as a craftsperson shapes molten material in their hands, so it may grow more mature, profound, and thoughtful.
3. Understand life's paths: Progress isn't simply running forward; it's an ongoing review of one's behavior, reflection, and standing confidently at every step.
Observe the tools and work of a craftsperson, how they work, and consider how markets are run. Apply the same principles to life, and you'll find that the essence is one and the same!
Be courageous and make a decision. Don't spend the rest of your life deluded and trapped between the fear of failure and the mirage of success. Don't let fear control you. Fail, get back up, rise, then fail again and get back up—and study the reasons! Learn where you go wrong and where you get things right, address what lies within you, and rid yourself of everything. Always remember that self-confidence is the first path to success, and that purifying the heart is the mind's true filter. When you cleanse your inner self, say to yourself with certainty:
• I will cast off resentment through abundant forgiveness and compassion.
• I will cast off envy, remembering the authentic Prophetic saying: "None of you truly believes until he loves for his brother what he loves for himself."
• I will cast off greed, for it was Adam's first sin, peace be upon him.
• I will cast off ego and arrogance, for they were at the root of Iblis's curse and expulsion from God's mercy.
• I will cast off fear, for it was the first divine instruction given to Moses, peace be upon him, when God said to him: ﴿Do not fear; indeed, My messengers do not fear in My presence.﴾ Look at what fear does to you—it makes you run from all that is beautiful!
"By God... the greatest, most delightful, and most beautiful moments in life, and the most joyful, are those when a person makes peace with themselves and says to themselves with honesty and certainty: I am human."
Only then will you attain freedom of the spirit—the freedom that lets you see with insight, the greatest thing a person can achieve in vision.
Be that complete person:
• The wise person who is measured in their decisions.
• The true man who restrains his anger and forgives at the height of his fury.
• The compassionate person, overflowing with mercy and gentleness when seeing ordinary people.
• The courageous person, full of pride and boldness when facing an oppressor, to stop them from their wrongdoing.
May you remain well, healthy, and ever mindful. #Binance
