The never ending rat race

Sometimes life just feels like a rat race, with everyone always in a hurry to get somewhere or to do something. This weekend was a perfect expample of this rat race, it started on Friday evening and only now have I had two moments to sit down and prepare for my upcoming Umrah trip. We had family and friends visiting all week and I love socialising and interacting with people and really enjoyed the weekend. The only thing that I think about how quickly the weeks, months and years are passing by. Everday passes by in such a blur that in a few years I'll look back and think "where did it go?"

I think it's so important that every once in a while, say every two weeks, to sit down and look back at the past weeks and what you have achieved. It would also be beneficial to set yourself personal goals and deadlines for the upcoming weeks in order to make sure you maximise your time in an efficient way. For me my goals are firstly to understand my deen more and to make a conscious effort to learn about Islam, the prophet Muhammad PBUH and His family. My second goal is to work on my event management business and successfully complete my first big project, I have many more smaller goals such as become a good cook, to pass my upcoming ACCA exams and to complete my Hijama course. 

I'm hoping I'll be able to fulfill these goals in the next 3 to 6 months and go to 'infinity and beyond!'
What are your goals???



Just a side note, Mr M and I visited The Grand Designs Show at the Excel Centre in London, Mr M was reluctant to go but I really wanted to go so he followed dragging his feet behind him. The event was brilliant with so mant retailers and suppliers show casing their ideas and inventions for the home and garden. Surprinsingly Mr M also enjoyed himself and even purchased a hand whisk and an ironing board cover- well for me :)

If you get a chance next year (the last day for this year was today) do check it out, you might get some fascinating ideas and even save some money. If you go ready to buy you really can bargain and get alot of the stuff on extremely good prices especially the display pieces which are still in very good conditon.

Mr M and myself have figured when we have saved around £50,000 we will go back and furnish our house and garden. No harm in dreaming :)
