One of the most debilitating things I was told as a child was 'Your whole life was written by Allah before you were born'.

If I tried and failed, it was because my faith wasnt strong enough. If I succeeded, it was because Allah willed it.
I could only internalize the blame when things went wrong, but I couldn't internalize the pride when things went right.

So naturally, if my only fuel was negativity, eventually I'd run out of energy. I gave up and let Allah control my life as he willed.

So, of course, I was like a leaf in the wind-I just let myself be controlled, thinking it was Allah, and thinking he'd never lead me astray.
