Why Some People Don't Change

Why do we struggle so much with accountability?

Why is it so hard for people to sit and stare into the abyss called "you messed up"?

Because we feel such a big need to be right.

When we realize we were wrong, we doubt ourselves and feel insecure.

When we doubt ourselves, we feel out of control.

And the greatest addiction human kind has, is to feel like he's in control.

I think we can see where I'm going with this..

There is no control. This is dunya. All sense of control is false.

We have the kibr inside of us to think that we are somehow the architects of our own life, and when we have to admit we make mistakes and are kind of stupid most of the time, we feel like bad architects

Habibti, that's exactly what we are, blind and lost, unless Allah guides and gives success.

Swallow that pride and fly on the wings of humbleness

Because every time you choose to deny you messed up, every time you ignore you're negligent, every time you ignore you are following your desires; you get worse.

May Allaah guide us.
