It is the right of every muslim to be free from anxiety, weakness, sorrow, debts and laziness But you have to change your own situation..
Verily Allah does not change a people's condition unless they change their inner selves Surah Ar-Ra`d (13:11).

The example of a believer is like a fresh tender plant which resist the wind
Abu Hurairah (r) said: The Prophet, peace be upon him, remarked: The example of a believer is like a fresh tender plant; from whichever direction the wind blows, it bends the plant. But when the wind dies down, it straightens up again. (Similarly a believer is tested by afflictions to strengthen his faith and heart, and he remains patient and firm). And an evil person is like a pine tree which remains hard and stiff until Allah breaks it whenever He wills. Source: Fiqh-us-Sunnah, volume 4, #1

Thinking Positively
I am to recognize my weaknesses and act upon it. I believe that change is an inevitable part of life and I will adapt to changing circumstances. I view remarks, feedback and mistakes as lesson for improvement in life I am willing to accept more tasks as a challenge and feel satisfied and more confident after accomplishing goals set. I dont feel overwhelmed or too much pressure as I plan and prioritize my tasks. I am willing to innovate & take risks, face challenges. Lifelong learning is a must for my personal development.

Thinking Big
You are what you think. Success is determined by the size of ones brain but by the size of ones thinking. If you think Positively & BIG, your brain will help you find innovative ways to do it.. The size of someone bank account, happiness account or general satisfaction account is dependent on the size of ones thinking People are not thinking big because they believe opportunities to lead does not exist.

Strategic Thinking
You can take actions in the present that will help determine the future. Don't make predictions about the future, but rather suggest multiple possible futures, often in the form of "scenarios" or stories about the future. Understand your life Explore plausible futures (personal scenarios) Plan to achieve the future you want (personal strategic planning)
