Death

  When it is time, it is time.   Every day and night, human be a Muslim or a believer of other religions prepare themselves for their way home in the best way that they know. Too frequent, we are busy preparing ourselves for our journey that we almost forget about the journey of the livings that we are to leave behind.  When we, human, are born to earth, we are assigned by God different roles; some are major and some are minor. Both are important but the major counts the most. The major to me are the roles as a Muslim, a daughter/son and a sister/brother if applicable. I am born to earth to be a daughter of a wonderful married couple and later become the eldest of four. As the first symbol of love of this couple, I grow old with love, expectations and responsibilities. The three are well-blended in me that when Malaikat reminds me of death, the first that pops up in my head besides of my deeds and conducts is the lives I shall leave behind. I weep and...

Nick and I pray to different Gods but we share the same view that God has His plans which are much better than ours  and that He loves us, human, dearly.  Readers, God is with us. He witnesses every tear we drop, every pain we bear and every hardship we fight. He's planned everything for our own good. Thus, n o matter how threatening your life has been, don't lose hope. He got something special planned for you at the end of your tedious journey. Keep on walking, keep on tripping, believe me, it's worth it!  You and I are only human. We cannot see into the future. Instead, we picture the possibilities for what might be. Only God knows how our lives will unfold. Hope is His gift to us, a window to look through. We cannot know the future He has planned for us. Trust in Him, keep hope in your heart, and even when faced with the worst, do whatever you can to prepare yourself for the best! (page 33) Now reading: Life Without Limits by Nick V...

And what do I listen to?  I listen to motivational and inspiring talks. Why?  Cause I, really wish that I will be what I listen to; full of motivation and inspiring. So what do you listen to? One of my favourite talks is by Angela Lee Duckworth on The Key to Success? Grit. It is my personal favourite as if I were to choose an adjective which describes me well, it will be Gritty . Who is successful and why? [...] one characteristic emerged as a significant predictor of success and it wasn't social intelligence, wasn't good look, wasn't physical health and it wasn't IQ, it was grit. Grit is passion and perseverance for a very long term goals. Grit is having stamina. Grit is sticking with your future; day in, day out. Not just for a week, not just for a month, but for years and working really hard to make that future a reality. Grit is living life like it is a marathon, not a sprint. I am a gritty woman. I have goals but my goals aren't ther...
