Life is full of success and failure. Times when we make complete fools of ourselves and times where we can look back and be generally proud.
But then the question arises. What is a failure, really? I mean, if after every failure, a new door opens, a new lesson is learned, a new opportunity presents itself, then is it really a failure at all?
Is there really any such thing as failure?
I mean Allah has everything perfectly planned for us, right?
Nothing that isn't meant for us will ever happen to us.
"My heart is at ease knowing that what was meant for me will never miss me and that what misses me was never meant for me. ~Umar ibn al-Khattab"
Which, in essence, means there is no such thing as failure.
Some things feel wrong, feel as if they are a failure, feel genuinely terrible.
But just give it a little time.
You weren't supposed to win this one. And that's okay.
Something amazing is happening.
You are pushing through life. You are going through a course, a path that Allah has designated specifically for you.
I don't know about you, but I think that is an incredible way for everything to take place.
In the hands of Allah.
As the old saying goes, "You win some, you lose some."
But the truth is you never really lose some.
Every situation plays out just the way it should.
And all we can say is Alhamdulilah for that.
