Khaberni - Written by: Dr. Suad Al-Shamsi
What remains of the year is not just a few days we count on our fingers, nor just a date that approaches to be folded in the memory of time. What remains of the year is a clear space, like an open window at the end of the corridor, allowing a soft light to enter, which is capable of illuminating what is left inside.
When we say "one month left," we do not say it as a declaration of the end, but as a gentle reminder that life still gives us time to review our steps, to correct what we can, and to plant small seeds that might grow later in the coming year.
One month might be enough to change a lot.
Enough to give birth to a new dream, or renew a hope that was about to extinguish, or mend a relationship, or close doors that we did not have the courage to close before.
Enough to start a small habit that can build a complete personality.
Enough to tell ourselves: I was stronger than I thought.
Many of the major accomplishments did not start with long plans, but with one sincere step on an ordinary day.
And maybe this month is our ordinary day waiting for that step.
Let us think honestly:
What is the thing that we have long postponed despite its importance?
What is the idea that we believed in, then abandoned because we were tired?
Who is the person that deserves an apology from us?
And who should we have left long ago?
And what is the sentence that we should whisper to ourselves every morning?
What remains of the year is a month, but this month is not as small as it seems.
It is a month that can reorder your life from inside if you deal with it consciously.
It is a test: Do we let the year leave as it came? Or do we close it with a page that befits who we have become?
No one can change the course of a whole year in just a few days, but each of us can change our inner direction.
To say: From today, I will be kinder to myself.
From today, I will care for my health before the race.
From today, I will love without fear, work without hesitation, and dream without limits.
God does not waste a sincere moment.
And He does not leave a heart that has been sincere in its intentions and tried.
So, even if only one month remains of the year.. it is enough.
Enough to write a different ending.
Enough to start a new beginning.
Enough to rearrange your spirit so you can receive the coming year being lighter, purer, and stronger.
Start now.
Do not wait for the start of the year.
The heart changes when we decide, not when the date changes.
For what remains of the year is a month.. but it might just be the dawn of a new life.
