Recently, a friend shared an image that I found very useful in our lives, especially in these days where the best of your efforts are not enough, your strength is invalid and not used wisely nor appreciated. I always feel like I am not enough, and a lot of us feel that way too.
In the end though, we can only try our best and have a true centre, closely linked to Allah and the right path. After all, Allah greatly appreciates effort, and THAT counts more than what humans think.
So a word to the wise to all management, administrators, teachers, parents and friends – learn to appreciate effort. You lose nothing, but will gain a lot.
