How does Allah make me reflect on my life sometimes?
It is no coincidence?
Whilst working on a piece of JavaScript code that requires a button to be clicked and an AJAX background function to work...or at least in search for it, I look back at my evernote notes going back exactly 10 years on this day.
I am looking for almost the same function today.
What does it show?
That I have not moved on?
Or that I have been guided to be helped by my own self from my own work ten years ago?
Or that I am doing the exact same thing a decade later?
All that above maybe?
But more so? The .change function is triggered when something changes on a select list for example. You move from one value to another and then some piece of code will trigger to update the second list which relates to the first selected value.
I take from this that I need to change. I need to select a profile for my life. As much as subroutines, algorithms and code will do what it does through triggers and calls, I need to perform a change based on me selecting and choosing for it to be.
May Allah allow me to change immediately before my death arrives. Today I cleaned my room. This might be the step I wanted from the heart. Who knows when death is upon me except Allah. Will I make it for Ramadhan?
Life is getting shorter. I am getting older. I can see it sometimes.
I want to pause the time today. My age. I want to achieve in this dunya. But how insignificant are we in the grand scale of the universe. One property we die for will not even be a grain of sand in the grand scheme of the size of the universe.
I did say and still desire the Akhira more. Do I really? This is why change is important if we are true to ourselves.
