“In each of us lie good and bad, light and dark, art and pain, choice and regret, cruelty and sacrifice… No one can live in the light all the time.”

I sat in my room one night after I had quite recently returned hostel from a visit with a gathering of individuals that I had persuaded myself were genuine companions. I was around nineteen years of age and as yet attempting to explore my motivation in life as a large portion of us do. As I sat in my overnight boardinghouse at the divider with lustrous eyes and tears starting to spill down my face, I contemplated internally, “This is miserable.”

Wretchedness does that to you. Uneasiness can do that to you. Obscurity can do that to you. You start persuading yourself that haziness really implies sadness. In any case, it doesn’t. This couldn’t be any more remote from reality. Actually we as a whole experience dim circumstances throughout everyday life. Furthermore, despite the fact that our dimness may look and feel changed relying on the individual, this doesn’t make trust any less possible, regardless of how broken and dead one may feel.

I had been going down this dim street for a long while now. I wasn’t the individual Allah made me to be. I was doing things I swore I’d never do, I was turning into someone I swore I’d never moved toward becoming, I was investing energy with individuals I swore I’d never invested time with, and I was burrowing myself an opening that in the long run felt too profound to move out of. I had persuaded myself that there was no chance to get out of this murkiness. I felt stuck. I was discouraged, forlorn, hunting down worth in all the wrong places, and I was certain that Allah needed nothing to do with me. I took a sleeping pill but ended up getting breathing issues. I was taken to Jinnah Hospital,

told me to live a life of purpose and it was then when I started reading Psychology.

It was very important for me to have humility in order to learn from my mentor. Being humble and kindness is a key to learn something. Humility helped you to find kind and helping people because you are also kind to others. It is evident that without humility and gratitude, we cannot find our mentor. I am lucky to have such a wise and loving mentor in my life. If you are humble and give respect to others, then you will gain respect.
Due to humility, I found my mentor and built a strong relationship with him. He guided me and helped me a lot with my problems. I have learned a lot from him, his past stories that will lead me to my destination. I think that I would not be able to learn from him if I did not have humility.
