Find our time

life
during it we'll find
hopefully, one time or another
but, maybe not ever
when we get an insight
and see that IT IS TIME

it is time
to stop being the bystanders
ogling on what's whirling around
in front of us
behind us
above us
below us
and just ogle on

do we think it's
to jump in and take control
to not just follow
to see that right is not always the norm
and majority is not always the truth
to KNOW rather than just follow
and take control rather than "go with the flow"

coz at the end of the day
acceptance won't help us
being 'in' isn't really a purpose
hedonism won't last forever
leaving it all as it is won't make us satisfied

if we think that's more to life
than the ticking of a clock
and doing everything as we'd feel like doing it
seconds... eat when we feel we'd like to
hours... play when we feel we'd like to
days... study when we feel we'd like to
weeks... sleep when we fell we'd like to
months... pray when we feel we'd like to
years... start getting serious when we feel we'd like to
well these just won't cut it

find something we want
and work towards it
it'll give us satisfaction
more than we know it

want to lose weight?
reduce our food today
want to stop smoking?
start by reducing by 1 today
want to be more active?
start by 1 set of exercise today
want to be crisp during OSCE?
practice 1 examination today
get involved in OUR lives!

and keep going
and going
and going
until eventually
we got it
or we don't, but we can strut around
knowing that everything there is to be done
are all in the done list

we owe it to ourselves to do something useful
as this life is but once
don't let it ticks away~

find a cause and something to stand up to
coz if we don't stand up for something
we'll fall for just about anything

even though it involves writing a mere blog post beside the kitchen sink :)

...HUMANS HAVE THE ABILITY TO FLY, BUT MANY DECIDE TO CRAWL ANYWAY...

Tabiat tak apa...

***************************

"mat... aku tengok ko selalu subuh gajah. Jomlah cuba bangun subuh on time"
"hmm, ko sibuk apa? biarlah aku punya amalan. ko jaga ko punya sudah"

***************************

"aku tengok makin ramai orang yang x jaga pergaulan semua. risaulah"
"ala... xpe, yang penting kita tak buat"

***************************

Anda pernah lalui situasi ini? Atau yang sewaktu dengannya?
berhati2lah... jangan terlalu mudah melepaskan tanggungjawab kita sebagai seorang muslim keatas saudara2 muslim yang lain.
kerana sebagai manusia kita sering lupa, dan kita sering mengabaikan tanggungjawab kita, terutama ketika bersendirian. atau dibiarkan sendiri di tengah2 ramai. kerana tiada siapa peduli. kerana jaga tepi kain sendiri. kerana "kubur lain2", kata kita.

semudah itukah kita melepaskan tanggungjawab kita?

firman Allah dalam Al-Quran: Surah: 3.Al-'Imran.
110. Kamu (wahai umat Muhammad) adalah sebaik-baik umat yang dilahirkan bagi (faedah) umat manusia, (kerana) kamu menyuruh berbuat segala perkara yang baik dan melarang daripada segala perkara yang salah (buruk dan keji) serta kamu pula beriman kepada Allah (dengan sebenar-benar iman) dan kalaulah Ahli Kitab (Yahudi dan Nasrani) itu beriman (sebagaimana yang semestinya), tentulah (iman) itu menjadi baik bagi mereka. (Tetapi) di antara mereka ada yang beriman dan kebanyakan mereka orang-orang yang fasik.

Bukan kebiasaan manusia untuk boleh berubah dan berbuat baik bersendirian. Mungkin boleh, jika anda kuat dan tabah. tapi percayalah setiap orang yang menegur itu ambil kisah tentang anda. dan terimalah dan berubahlah, untuk diri kita dan untuk Islam. cubalah ambil kisah tentang orang yang mengambil kisah tentang anda, sebelum mereka patah hati dan membiarkan anda terus dibuai mimpi indah duniawi. Sampai bila agama ini akan terus dikaburi kebenarannya oleh penganut2 yang mengaku Islam dan mahukan syurga Allah, tetapi tidak mahu berusaha kearahnya.

dan bukanlah tulisan ini kerana saya baik dan sempurna. jauh sekali. tetapi dengan harapan bila saya menulis perkara ini saya sendiri akan berusaha melakukannya. dan tegurlah saya jika saya salah. ingatkan saya bila saya terlupa. kejutkan saya bila saya tertidur. cucuklah bila saya terleka. dan insyaAllah saya juga akan cuba lakukan sedaya saya. saya juga manusia... seperti kamu, kamu dan kamu.

jangan biarkan umur kita terus berlalu. syurga bukan untuk yang bersenang-lenang di dunia.

hargailah ia

Gunakanlah masa yang ada
Supaya diakhir harimu
dan diakhir minggumu
dan diakhir bulanmu
dan diakhir tahunmu
dan diakhir hidupmu
kamu, dan juga aku
tidak tertanya-tanya kemana perginya
masa yang terbiar begitu sahaja

rugilah siapa yang merasakan dirinya sudah cukup sempurna
dan tidak mehu cuba memanfaatkan masa untuk melatih diri dan memperbaiki
biar perlahan, tapi perlukan perubahan
jangan biarkan dirimu kaku
tidak berubah
lengai

kerana diakhir nanti
kamu, dan juga aku
akan ditanya ke arah mana masa kita dipergunakan?

It's how you look at it...

It's amazing how we think of something affects how it makes us feel. One similar thing can give totally different meaning and cause mood or feeling to arise in someone.

For example, as i was walking to the bus stand to take the bus to the train station... I saw only 2 people there. As I had waited for about half an hour for the bus yesterday, it seems to be good news that there weren't many people waiting, i.e. The bus is running today. Say if I look at it from another point of view... The bus just left and there are now only 2 people waiting... I missed the bus.


Yep. It's how we look at it... Probably not all situations though... But the power of mind can alter everything.

It's what we believe is what really matters in the end.

So choose the one that makes you happy... And choose the righteous one...

Instead of cold miserable snow... Its a chance to play snowball fight and hv some great time with friends.

When we stand in front of a shouting crowd... We can choose to hear them jeering, or cheering for us.

And try not to lose the smile... Those who can't smile would give everything to smile. So those who can... Should do it more often.

Push off a cliff

sometimes we feel the need for someone to give you a nudge just to move on...
we wanted so badly to change (for the better, hopefully) but can't seem to take the first step...

ever so often what we need is just to DO it...
if you want something... TAKE it...

for example, we feel the need to take more care of of health...
to do more exercise and eat more healthily...
to cut down the chocolates and sugar and salt and fast food and junk food...
but only to find ourselves going to the shelves we want to avoid during shopping...
again and again...

or, when we feel the need to focus more on our studies...
and the need to shove off the distractions like games, or TV shows...
as long as we're sure that what we want is for the good...
and will pay off one day...

the fact is, in doing anything...
we need will power...
and the first step to using the will power is to acknowledge that it's there...
waiting...
to be awakened and to be utilized...
we are too comfortable in our current situation...
and forgot that there's a lot more to be done...
and there's a lot more to improve...

so just do it...
because in the end...
what really matters is what you achieve...
and in the end...
it's all about self-control, prioritizing, and doing what's right...

so if you'll excuse me, I need to jump off a cliff...
I mean, figuratively :)
