I am wondering what are the things that make me happy.
I know that when I eat my favorite food I am happy.
I love going to the beach where there are no other people.
I love sleeping in hotel rooms.
I love watching movies.
I love watching cable.
I love having the peace of mind of not having any debts.
I love having lots of money.
I love helping people who are appreciative of my help for free.
I love being good at what I do. :)

Awakening
At the age of thirty five, I am asking myself, "What kind of life am I living?"
You see when you suffer a mild stroke at this age and the idea of dying this early becomes your reality.
Existential questions do creep in.
I remember when I was hospitalized for a mild stroke and I was in the emergency hospital. I was crying and telling my husband that I do not want to die. I told him that I am a bad person. I have made bad choices. I have debts and would probably not be able to enter heaven.
You see in Islam having unpaid debts when you die becomes a bar for entering Jannah (Heaven.)
Unfortunately for me, being afraid of dying, being a bad person or having debts does not necessarily transform the reality.
So after nearly three months from suffering a stroke, numerous fluctuations of my blood pressure that triggers a lot of anxiety attack and one more visit to the emergency, I have finally decided to surrender every thing to God (Allah) "Subhanahu Wa Ta'ala,"
Yep I surrender to the will of God. I refuse to worry. I refuse to be anxious. I refuse to do bad. I surrender to GOD.
Besides that.
I also decided to do six major things.
1. Work on my finances - pay off debts, sell real estate, sell shirts, list all expenses, stop getting into debt.
2. Work on my health - limit meat intake, eat more vegetables, sleep early, exercise
3. Work on my spiritual reawakening - do five salah, yoga, learn Arabic, read Islamic books
4. Work on my intellectual growth - listen to more ted talks, read the news, read more books, read more law books
5. Work on my social interactions - be more active in my social groups, attend more weddings, attend more parties
6. Work on my family - be kinder to my in laws, my husband, my son, my sister, my cousins, my relatives, my mother, my father.

Gap Year
I started the first day of my gap year today.
As a sole practitioner this means that I will not be getting nor looking for new clients for one year.
My plan is to focus on selling real estate. Selling stuff. I love selling. Maybe setting up an on line store. Maybe opening my dream sari sari store.
I will handle my existing clients with exemplary care. The goal is to perfect the system so that when I come back next time I will not get easily exhausted.
I will do this every five years so that I will get a fresh perspective on life.
I will do the following in my gap year:
1. Sell more that 300 real estate with huge margins.
2. Travel to at least three foreign destinations with my family.
3. Be healthy.
