Strange Incorporated

Prompt: How do you endure during hardships and difficulties?

'With the late realization that each challenge, hardship, or difficulty is a part of this worldly life, there is no escaping it and its purpose is to train my nafs, saleem my qalb, heal my wounds, shorten my distance to Allah and His Rasul SAW its endurance is much easier. Algamdullilah
If I were not tested, I wonder if I would try to please Allah daily today.

With that said. Man, oh man, some hardships can eat you alive. Sometimes it feels like I'm walking against a strong current with chains around my ankles. SubghaanAllah.

Until I surrender with tears in my eyes and peace in my heart. And that's all I should have done in the first place. Surrender.

I try to surrender a whole lot earlier before tiring myself against the current. I try to surrender the illusion of control, the hurt takes time. Insha'Allah.'
