Today was 19th Ramzaan, saturday, September 20,2008. Trying to resist the temptations and taboo of attending zillions of iftar dinner every Ramzaan, i had decided to limit my outings this time around. Setting myself target of reducing by 4KG and not attending more than 3 iftar dinners, i so far have lost 3 KG and had only one outing. So far so good .... things seem to be as per plan and i should be the happeist person on earth. Really ? should i be or there are more things to content yourself then just meeting the poorly designed, stupidly imposed self destructing targets ????
Trust me ...nothing changed... am still the same...same Muhammad Imran even if i had gained 6 Kgs or had attended 38 iftareez in last 19 days. So looking back all i did in last 19 days was to satisfy my EGO. Satisfied my EGO with restraining myself.
Most of the things that we do in our daily lives are to satisfy our EGOs. May it be working like horses (donkeys) at offices, may it be achieving excellence in our areas of work, may it be getting good grades in our skools; we are trying to satisfy our EGOs. Ever thought even after getting all this why we are not happy ??? ever gave it a thought ?
Key to happiness is not following your instincts and acting slave to the ego Monster;key is to defeat it.
