Who do you (I) want to be after Ramadan, the plan for Jannah?

That gives me something to really consider. Not only who I was as I went into Ramadan but who I want to be after. This gives me a goal. Kind of when someone once told me to make a goal of being a woman of Jannah. When we look at these goals they seem so lofty, so farfetched or some may say they aren't goals because they don't fit the current S.M.A.R.T matrix. It reminds me that we are people of process. It's like deciding on who you want to be and then developing a system to become that person. So, changing your habits becomes part of the process to become the person you envision.

I also like the reminder that when we say why aren't we where we think we should be, we are diminishing who we are currently and the accomplishments we have along our current journey. Those accomplishments are important to who we are as individuals today and our experiences are valuable Alhamdulillah.

Loved this! It is so easy to feel down about not being where we had once imagined. And I love the question "Who are you entering into Ramadan?"
