I've Chosen My Piece of Grass

A friend once told me a story of a group of students, a teacher and grass.




The teacher brought them to a field, and told them to walk straight from one end to the other. Along the way, they have to chose a grass. The best one. On one condition, once they go along the grass, they can't go back the other way to pick a grass that they had passed. Get the game here?


So one student walked along, came across grasses, and found some good and some bad. Some green and some brownish. And then came across a really green healthy grass. Then he thought, perhaps there's better further forward. So he kept going till the end of the field and found that he didn't find any better grass.


Lesson by the teacher, if you think you've found a grass that's the best one, pick it, don't look back, don't look forward thinking you'll find a better one. Just be content with what you've chosen, be happy with it.


InsyaAllah I've chosen my grass. All I hope for is Allah's guidance in my actions and my iman in this choice I've made.
