It is He who produces both trellised and untrellised gardens, date palms, crops of diverse flavours, the olive, the pomegranate, alike yet different. So when they bear fruit, eat some of it, paying what is due on the day of harvest, but do not be wasteful: God does not like wasteful people.
- Quran 6 : 141
“If you talk about it, it's a dream, if you envision it, it's possible, but if you schedule it, it's real.”
― Anthony Robbins, “Get the Edge”
Givers gotta set limits
Cause the takers never do
Put yourself first
Then they gonna say you selfish …

18. #LifeIntoExistence : Scheduled Calls and Peace of Mind
January 5th, 2023
12 : 48 PM
I know a woman who is almost always stressed
And there is always stimuli in her surroundings …
Whenever I visit her, the TV is blasting
Whatever the panic-porn the media is propagandizing …
And she answers every call.
Sometimes, I hear her swear under her breath
Before grabbing her phone
And answering with pleasantries …
I rarely pick up unscheduled calls.
There are only a handful of people
Who can call me unscheduled
And they have never abused that privilege
So, I take their calls when I’m available …
”Who's selfish?
Maybe we all are
We all want something or someone to call ours
We buy big jewelry to cover up small scars
We came a long way
And still we all far …”
Time and energy are irreplaceable currencies
Very often, I act as an isolated country
As I place an embargo on all trade
That asks for time and energy …
Peace is priceless.
My family often makes fun of me
For placing everyone on a schedule
And rarely participating in anything
That diverges from what I planned to do …
Then they are stunned
By what I am able to accomplish
And how I am almost always
Calm and with bliss …
Peace is priceless.

The goal this year is to document as many memories as possible.
This is the series to the next book, “#LifeIntoExistence : Tabula Rasa”. This book will be available towards the end of October.
For those interested in books written in the past, feel free to read the Google Documents at this link.
Lastly, for those who want to support my journey financially (please remember, I do have a fur baby), purchase the Kindle books at this link.
Enjoy the journey and live with intention …
