[AbrahamFreedom]

Go to the gym consistently, travel, open your heart and find love, take non-stupid risks, always get out of your comfort zone, and don't be a homebody. Don't waste your youth. Also, do not live your life for others. Do what makes you happy and be firm with others on what you think is right.

 

[ZBR]

Pray Salah consistently and do things that perfect it like learning Quran, refining your qushoo

Work constantly no matter how small , when the opportunity arises work smarter , take care your relatives/ be aware of their situation

1. Focus on what you can control. Many people drive themselves crazy focusing on things that are not in their control. In life you should focus on things that can be changed by you, then take action

2. Motivation is overrated, try and build habits and routines instead. I read a book called "Atomic Habbits" in 2019, I wish it was available when I was in high school. This was a complete game changer for me. I found the audiobook for free on YouTube:



3. Figure out what you want in life. What are your values? Try to understand why those values are important to you. Then try to create goals for yourself based off of those values. When you know what you want from life, and why you want it, it'll give you a sense of direction. Also it'll help you endure through the tough times because you have your "why" aka your purpose

4. Build your network. Try to find likeminded individuals that share the same values and/or goals as you. Try to join clubs or meetups where you can meet these types of people. Try to be as helpful as possible, these people will return the favor when you need it

5. Take care of your body. Eat healthy, get a lot of sleep, exercise, exfoliate your skin, floss your teeth, etc. A lot of people neglect their health, it catches up with you as you age

6. Be responsible, but also have fun. Life is short, don't make it more painful than it needs to be. Hang out with friends, play sports, do whatever hobbies that make you happy. Life is about balance.
