As I reflected upon this journey, I had in a way been wishing for it unconciously and spoken about it many times but the doubt of being able to accomplish it had been overwhelming. The ideas were aplenty but the tasks seemed too laborious. What actually help was a simple formula ~ having a dream and believe that Allah will ease the way because you are doing it for Him and noone else. :)
The belief that Allah will show me the path has always been at the back of my mind, and I know every step I take is due to His blessings. The positive thinking that I have to surround myself with is due to His Grace and Mercy for He is the only one that can make or break me. At the end of the day having that trust make my wish is His command.
Now that the book is printed, I know the journey ahead is still not over...it is time for me to eat lots of humble pie. I must and always remember that without the wisdom and the ability He has given me - I will not be able to be His tool in delivering the messages that I wish to deliver to others.
I hope and I pray that I will not be arrogant, to accept feedback and criticism from others along the way and be willing to accept them constructively with open arms. That He will provide me with the patience and wisdom to handle them ~ for I am not perfect and i am just one of the many writers who are trying to reach out to others.
The experience of launching the book had in itself shown me that just writing the book is no big deal - when famous writers sold books in thousands a day, my book managed only in tens ... but for that every book that is sold - i hope and i pray that the stories will reach to thousands of hearts and listening ears...it is not the glory that i am looking for (Glory be to Allah) but the values and the blessings of Allah that i wish to gather.
Thus my wish is to continue this journey and pray that He will show me the right path, the path of those whom He has favoured, insya'Allah...Ameen
