Haven’t read your article in a while or joined the sessions.

But the reason why I still follow up is the fact that as crazy as life might seem. I believe many people are going through the same 😹.

This article just further cemented some of the things I have been working on recently , prioritize and leave the rest for God .👍🏾

Great story I have also been in such a situation, but I don't feel nobody cares, if u genuinely care or have cared about someone there is a high probability that someone cares or will care about you or your actions, instead of saying "nobody cares about you" it's better to say "you don't care about anybody", if everyone in the whole world starts doing what ever they want when ever they want because we feel no one cares and we don't also care we will all suffer, life would make no sense, we will all want to die and we will loose the essence of humanity, we are one, think about it. (Sorry for my long story I just feel if we want to be loved we should love and if we want to be cared for we should first care and if we care we can't just do as we please😊 without thinking about how our actions affects others)

My understanding of the article is that, we shouldn't care too much about people's opinions and allow it to affect your decision making because those people have other things that they are focused on, not you. Esp people you don't know or people you are not close to.

That's my understanding

Thanks a lot Toibat, you captured my thinking perfectly. While we should of course care for/be kind to everyone, our actions should be driven by our values and priorities, not the opinions of random people :)

Thank you both for reading and commenting!

So many things you share here resonate with my experience. I am always grateful for your newsletter. In times that they don't come as frequent. I re-read the old ones 😊

Totally a big FAN 😎

I was commited to so many associations and volunteering activities in my Uni, that It started to affect my academics. You can share yourself to everyone for their progress at ur own detriment and no one would care. You would knw Ur contribution is valuable but the truth is if you weren't there, they probably would survive. It is important to know your priorities, and don't do too much.

Thank you Hameed.

Hope life is treating you fine?

Not sure if I ever put this in the comments, but your newsletters are timely for me, 90% of the time.

"Thank you" seems so small to say. So, in the best ways... Jazakumllahu Khairan, Hameed.❤️
