i was in a state of mind the past few weeks, feeling under-appreciated and used. it seemed to me that people were approaching me only for my services, and i was nothing more but an advantageous addition to whatever it is they intend to do. and i was saddened because the actions of those around me only seemed to confirm that which i assumed or observed. i was in a downward spiral of despair, and growing more and more spiteful of those i blamed for setting me off.
but, somewhere inside, a voice spoke to me. and suddenly the silent voices around me also began to speak up. they advised me, a worthy advice indeed. and so...
paradigm shift in life that i have decided to try to abide by.
that in life, we should live for a purpose, which is The Purpose, and that is to achieve mardhatillah. oh ntu peeps, the MS motto finally comes to light. and in that living, we should of course bear on with patience that is as tenacious as anything in the world. patience towards what others do unto you, patience towards what is being tested unto you, patience towards challenges and obstacles that you face, patience towards the anger, hurt, despair, gloom and unhappiness.
and once you see the supremacy of The Purpose over all else... nothing else really matters.
and for once, you achieve a serenity that all other attitudes seem to not be able to give.
and as how dear ratna says it, you will find it so much easier to remain happy and unburdened.
bro tariq said something in a session that i attended, that a muslim should strive to make everyday an excellent day, a day that he will not look back with regret, a day that will lead him closer to his Creator. and strive i will.
affirmation, approval and encouragement given by close friends to whom i have confided this in.
pray for me now.
