A Million
Moments

The secret to
life is living it ... one day at a time
Our lives are
made up of a million moments, spent in a million different
ways. Some are spent searching for love, peace and harmony.
Others are spent surviving day to day. But there is no greater
moment than when we find that life, with all its joys and
sorrows, is meant to be lived one day at a time.
It's in this
knowledge that we discover the most wonderful truth of all.
Whether we live in a forty-room mansion, surrounded by servants
and wealth, or find it a struggle to manage the rent month to
month, we have it within our power to be fully satisfied and
live a life with true meaning.
One day at a time ... we have that
ability, through cherishing each moment and rejoicing in each
dream. We can experience each day anew, and with this fresh
start we have what it takes to make all of our dreams come
true. Each day is new, and living one day at a time enables us
to truly enjoy life and live it to the fullest.
The Messenger of Allaah said,
"Live in this world as if you are a stranger or a passer-by."
Ibn 'Umar used to say
"When you are in the evening, do not
expect to live till the morning and when you are in the
morning, do not expect to live till the evening. Make a
provision for the time when you will be sick while you are
still healthy and make a provision for the time of your death
while you are still living"
(Al-Bukhaaree)
