Thank you, Bridget, for your insightful writings and for encouraging individuals to seek completeness within themselves, rather than relying on others for validation or fulfillment. Your perspective resonates deeply, reminding me of an important concept in Islam: the idea of self-sufficiency and reliance on Allah (SWT) for our happiness and fulfillment.
In Islam, we are taught that our worth and completion stem from our relationship with Allah. Surah Al-Anfal (Quran 8:28) reminds us, "And know that your properties and your children are but a trial and that Allah has with Him a great reward." This serves as a powerful reminder that true contentment and completeness do not come from external sources but from our faith, actions, and connection to the Divine.
As you emphasize the importance of not waiting for someone else to complete us, I implore you to further share this message far and wide. Encourage others to cultivate self-awareness, personal growth, and a strong spiritual connection, as this will lead them to discover their fullest potential.
May we all strive to be self-sufficient in our pursuits of happiness and fulfillment through our faith. In Surah Al-Baqarah (Quran 2:286), Allah tells us, "Allah does not burden a soul beyond that it can bear." This verse beautifully encapsulates the strength each individual possesses within, allowing us to rise above our dependency on others.
Your call to action is powerful—let us Bridget, inspire more individuals to embark on the journey of self-discovery and inner strength. What do you think are the best ways we can spread this empowering message to encourage others to find their completeness within themselves?
Warm regards,
