It starts from within.

Instead of focusing on what you lack, start by appreciating what you have now.

A simple exercise: every day, write down three small things that made you smile (a cup of coffee, a message from a friend, or even a moment of calm). This trains your mind to spot the positives amid the noise.

Stop comparing: remember that social media only shows the best moments, so don’t compare the behind-the-scenes of your exhausting life with others’ perfect feeds.

Managing mind and emotions. Your thoughts are what color your world; if they’re dark, the world will look dull. Live in the moment; anxiety is living in the future that hasn’t come yet, and regret is living in the past that’s already over. Focus on the “now.”

Accept emotions; life isn’t constant happiness. It’s normal to feel sad or angry—accept these feelings, allow yourself to express them, then move forward.

Investing in relationships: humans are social by nature; having a supportive circle is the secret to psychological resilience. Quality, not quantity: one true friend who understands your silence is better than a hundred friends of convenience.

Giving: helping others releases happiness hormones (endorphins). Make someone else’s day beautiful, and you’ll find that your day has become more beautiful.

I built a 90-day Backend Mastery roadmap for developers who want to go deeper into backend engineering.

It covers 17 systems across Linux, networking, Docker, PostgreSQL, Redis, system design, distributed systems, Kafka, Kubernetes, cloud, CI/CD, observability, security, and more.

It includes curated resources, hands-on labs, checklists, and a day-by-day plan.

If you're serious about leveling up your backend skills, check it out:

Ameen! Everything said above is really perfect. Think of it this way, out of allll 8 billion people in the world, Allah chose you to become a muslim. He gave you a heart that accepts Him as His lord, a heart that already sees Islam as the truth, He gave you a brain that can contemplate, He gave you health, He gave you all that is needed to suffice you, He weaves your story without you noticing every single detail, He is gentle with you, subtle in the way He cares for you....the list goes on. Leave everything else, He is the one who gives permission to your heart EVERY SINGLE TIME it beats. Does this Lord, lord of the worlds, not deserve to be worshipped the way He has ordered?
The sole purpose we were created is for worship, where salah is the heart of it.
وَمَا خَلَقْتُ الْجِنَّ وَالْإِنسَإِلَّا لِيَعْبُدُونِ
"ጋኔንንና ሰውንም ሊገዙኝ (ሊያመልኩኝ) እንጂ ለሌላ አልፈጠርኳቸውም።"
Try surrounding yourself with everything that reminds you of salah. I remember writing "ሰላት የጀነት ቁልፍ ናት" and posting it in the salon when i was young. It's still there. These kind of reminders might seem silly but they actually work. You should be greedy with your friends. I mean, have friends who share akhirah goals with you. People around you will have a great impact on you, so make sure you have the best ones around you. May Allah help us all in our personal struggles.

Go check out this episode of the Software Guy’s podcast.

Ngl, I watched it because of the thumbnail. Annex, you did a good job choosing the thumbnail 😁

Seriously tho, I have learned that success isn’t built overnight; it takes years of commitment and dedication. Birhan started from the place where most don’t want to start: from being hired at a government office with a small salary. And see where he is now. The place where you start today doesn’t define your destination. It’s stairs to another level.

EPL starting today. Who’s excited 🙌🏻

Last time we did an SMA about me was when we hit 300 subs; now we have doubled. So, why not an SMA?

The new 300 subs, what do you want to ask me?

It’s all for fun. We don’t bet. But my friend has promised to award the top 3 if he gets a good job. Pray for him to get a good job 🙂.

Sorry for sharing the code late. If you are interested, make sure to join in the next two hours before the Game Week 1 deadline.

We can’t play 38 weeks to lift the cup. Let them play us twice a week and just give us the trophy. The rest of the teams can go 38 weeks.

My Arsenal is back. Who’s Vini?! We have Tzolis 🔥 Ødegaard was on… what a nice game
