The Future

This morning, I had a breakfast with few friends. We've worked together last 2 years and today we agreed to meet upon breakfast.

So, everybody was talking about the future. Where will we be in the next year? Getting married, further study or having great jobs? Some of them already secure jobs interview and really excited to go for it. I am stuck in my mind, trying to figure out for my coming future.

I have great plans for my future, so I thought. But what if no company wanted to hire me? What if I didnt get the job with a good pay? Will I have to work my ass off just to pay the bills? What if the work didnt give me the satisfaction and I suffered everyday just to go to work? What if.. What if..

Then, it hit me. Yes, I have to work hard at least to secure a job. But in the end of the day, matters of rezeki is in the hand of Allah. If it were meant for me, inshaAllah it will be mine. But if not, Allah have better and greater plan for me.

Work hard and pray for the best, right?

Bagaikan air

Sesekali kita dilanda ujian, kita terasa lemah. Terasa seperti ujian yang diturunkan terlalu besar untuk kita tempuhi. Kita gagal dalam peperiksaan, kehilangan pekerjaan, ditipu dan dikhianati oleh sahabat, kita pasti terasa bagaikan sebuah gunung menghempap ke bahu. Lemah dan tidak bermaya sehingga malas untuk menempuh hari-hari mendatang.

Hakikatnya, kita memandang rendah dengan keupayaan diri kita. Kita belum cukup bersungguh-sungguh untuk bangkit dan berjuang. Sedangkan hidup kita lebih besar daripada ujian-ujian yang kerap kali mendatang. Kita selalu merasakan diri bagaikan kertas yang mudah dipijak-pijak dan dikoyak-koyak. Sedangkan kita seperti air, kuatnya sehingga mampu menenggelamkan bumi.

Dunia adalah medan peperangan. Setiap hari kita perlu berjuang untuk mencapai kebahagiaan. Jangan berputus asa, berusaha dan teruskanlah berjuang!

Love is like the wind. You can't see it but you can feel it.
