Time, one of the tangled mysteries, everybody explains it according to himself but nobody is ever abled to find it, control it, or cease it. It allows you to met incidents and happenings. A gift from God to everyone that ‘this is your time to live’, do whatever you want but try to use it wisely. Some use this collection of moments to glamorize this materialistic world, others cut-off from it for the sake to find the creator of it, but balance is the key to everything. Lucky people always try to manage the both. The thing that differentiates and prioritize human beings to animals and angles is ‘the will’.

This (will) is the map that decides the path to the success of this world and the hereafter. Everyone is free in its decisions and selection of the path, but intelligent one places every step after some planning and strategy, and off-course it is the luck that what kind of weather and air pressure you are going to face on this way. Some found enough opportunities to walk through it smoothly, others have to face a lot with courage and patience, and obviously, the path becomes easy if you have a guide with you, who aware of the hardships of the track.

Gratefully, I am among those lucky persons who came to know about a golden opportunity to grow myself professionally and able to walk on this road of my career with guidance and experience. I applied for the career fellowship of Amal Academy and got selected after their selection process. This three-month-long fellowship taught me more than I expected from it. The reason behind the purpose decides the destination of the journey. And this reason comes from analyzing yourself. And that’s how Amal started its first session.

One should visit him frequently to water the seed of his dreams. Because the extent to which you know yourself able you to take every little step towards your goals. In the first week, we met to ourselves: our personality and traits, strengths and weaknesses, achievements and lessons, the carves of time and circumstances on us, the gaps in our personality that remain to be filled, the edges of our character need to be sharpened, the efforts required to be a better version of ourselves, and most importantly our dots of life that joined to stand us where we are at the moment.

I observe everything so deeply and then relate it to myself, I found this picture in my gallery which reminds me of the values I own. Amal shared its values with us and in-return we shared ours. Flowing water possesses many qualities, most mentionable one is growth i.e., it never stops, whatever comes in its path, it always moves forward, makes its path. Some particles, that it can carry, mixed with it and move with it wherever it goes. Similarly, the good things you learn in your stages of growing, always keep them with yourself. Other traits are the consistency that tends to flow from the top of glaciers to the depth of seas. Acceptance, humility, and contentment are my other values. Amal told us to keep learning new things throughout your life because the day you stop learning is the day you begin decaying.

In the second week, we decided to become more practical and professional, not only discussed but started to do the things we aimed. There are so many people in our surroundings that plan and make perfect strategies but these always remain in their mouths. Dreams, goals, and aims need to be implemented practically to touch the sky you always wanted to. There are so many beings in our surroundings that are a live example that success demands your time, efforts, compromises, sacrifices, and much more.

The discussion doesn’t end here, there are countless things that this three-month fellowship taught us. Every single second that you spend in the company of a person who knows something is like a ride without a ticket. So, never waste your moments on the things that don’t teach you something. This fellowship is going to end but the things that we learned through this will help us to start a new journey towards our destinations.
