In the midst of all this chaos, we search for something that can grant us stability and hope. Life can be chaotic and sometimes it feels as if there is little we can do to control the outcome of our day. I wondered if these lessons coincide with Islamic wisdom? What is the attitude of the religious divines towards these lessons? With all these questions in mind, I set out to better understand if practicing a few of these lessons could change my life, or better yet, the world. Sifting through this book, I was curious to know if these lessons could aid one in overcoming spiritual challenges and fortify a person in their spiritual journey. According to McRaven, these simple lessons are equally important in dealing with the challenges of life. In his bestseller, Make Your Bed, Admiral McRaven imparts different lessons from Navy Seal training, and how he overcame difficult obstacles during the course of his training. McRaven, in his highly motivating and celebrated speech, suggests that little things can change your life and perhaps, subsequently, the world.
Remember that viral video, in which an admiral of the U.S navy addressed the graduating class of the University of Texas? Perhaps you remember his iconic words, ‘if you want to change the world, make your bed’.
