Jewels of an Entertainment Eid Fest – Part 5

We plan, and Allah plans. Allah is the best of planners.

Sitting in the dressing room with Mecca2Medina (Rakin, Ismael, Abdul Karim) and listening to their stories about their activities, and their touring across UK doing events and stuff, I asked them, “With all the work that you guys do, and all the traveling, how do you spend time for your family?” I was asking this because I’ve found myself not spending much time with my own family.

• Make time for your family, and let them know your plans
• Be cooperative with your family and your family will be cooperative with you.
• When getting married, make sure that your goals and your “prospects” goals are inline with each other.

After everything was over, we headed over to Douglas Pizza on Route 27. I was sitting with Khaleel and Hasan talking bout life and goals. Earlier Hasan had mentioned a “life list” which is basically a list of all the things that you want to do, be, and have before you die. You set a date as to by when you want to attain it.

Hasan talked about how you don’t only want to have a vertical list of goals, such as the “1-3-5″ (1 year goals, 3 year goals, 5 year goals). What you want to do is have options.

• What are your options right now?
• When you finish high school, what are your options?
• When you finish college, what are your options?
• Which options do you want to pursue and why?

Knowing your options expands your path to your goals vertically, and also horizontally as well allowing you to be more dynamic in your approach to things. Hasan recommended a book (just arrived via Amazon two days ago) titled Multiple Streams of Income by Robert Allen.
