Deals in life and sequence

Deals in life are not always as often according to our preferred sequence.. as what Dato Sri Nazri has mentioned in his blog: Deals just don't come in your preferred sequence and you just have to move or forever hold your peace as it were..


I am sure that everyone of us would feel that when things happened accordingly to your plan then, your life at that particular day is perfect.. You begin to praise GOD for things that are happening to your liking. But then when the sequence is not according to your preferences you begin to feel down.. gloomy.. then you begin to label your day for that moment as sad, miserable....



Like others.. i would always have to fight my emotions.. i would be angry at myself for putting up hopes so high up that when deals in life do not appear in my preferred sequence i begin to crumble..
I spent the whole day today fighting over my feelings about the deals in my life that do not happen according to my preferred sequence.. i was angry at myself because i should not put - on the first place- any hope.. for the only hope i should put is NOT on the deals according to my preferred sequence but to GOD!!! Everything is in GOD's hand.

It was only towards the day's end... it all begin to fill my thoughts. All praise to GOD.. I was reminded that  I need to go back to the basics- deliver my self to GOD. Though i thought that i need the deals in my life to be in my preferred sequence, but then again... i need to remind myself.. it is not in GOD's willing to allow such sequence for that particular moment. Though it is hard for me to swallow... it is bitter.. but i have grit my teeth and move on or hold my peace... for whatever happens is according to GOD's plan - it's the sequence that GOD plan for me for this particular moment. I have to accept that it is sequence meant for me. Things happened according to GOD's plan for me. I have to bear.. there's no need to ask why it happened.. just request and pray that GOD will show u why it happen so that u would be a better person tomorrow.. Whatever it is... GOD listens.. It is we that have to be patient and aware that the world is not ours to rule according to our preferred sequence - it belongs to GOD- the Almighty.. for God's greatness is far beyond human comprehension. Just deliver ourselves to God and have faith.. for God knows what is best and when is the best for deals to happen according to sequence that God has plan for us..

It is He who has sent down to you, [O Muhammad], the Book; in it are verses [that are] precise - they are the foundation of the Book - and others unspecific. As for those in whose hearts is deviation [from truth], they will follow that of it which is unspecific, seeking discord and seeking an interpretation [suitable to them]. And no one knows its [true] interpretation except Allah . But those firm in knowledge say, "We believe in it. All [of it] is from our Lord." And no one will be reminded except those of understanding.      (Ali Imran: 7)

Thank God... though it's raining in your heart..

It's raining in my heart again today.. i'm writing this down as a reminder to myself.. so that the rain in my heart would be something that would nourish me- just like what the rain does to the nature.

Have you ever feel that..
when it rains in your hearts.. the life that you lead seems to appear very cold and empty.
I began to feel that.. what is there left for me now..
At the moment.. walking a single step would seemed like a mile.. a crawl would only be the only way to pass through life that very day.. and it has become just the matter of surviving every moment that I have....

Urghhhhh - don't you just hate that!! How at that particular moment- you wish you have the strength to just stand and walk with your chin up high - embracing life as it should be..

but.. to think again..
I think- yes, we do need the rain in our hearts.. for- once, after the rain.. things will appear clearer and we are able to look at things into deeper meaning..into various angles and perspectives.

At times like this.. like it or not - we should push ourselves to the limit.. SEARCH...
search.. the reasons why we should be thankful ...
look beyond everything and start looking for things we should be grateful..
Even if we couldn't-  we have to!


If there's nothing of silver lining of whatsoever that we could see.. then- look away... look out for other things that make us smile and be grateful..
We SHOULD!
whatever is holding us to feel this way... whoever is making us feeling so gloomy and sad..
just push it away.. things that is out of our reach... out of our ability to change... we should just put aside..
and deliver ourselves to the Al-Mighty...

Be grateful in whatever way because it would be unfair..
It is unfair for us to feel sad about our life for God has given us a chance.. another day to make a difference, to embrace life..
It is unfair for us to feel there's nothing left for us.. when there's plentiful for us to look upon and be grateful..
.................... a reminder for me .............

Some may think that - yeah right! It is easier said than done.
It is not the matter of doing .. it is the matter of being fair to yourself. It is also the matter of being thankful to God.. no matter what -for God has bestowed us abundance! We just need to look beyond and be more observant. Just be grateful.
Every raindrop has its own beauty in every other way.. be it through the ray of sunlight after the rain or even in the rain itself.. Embrace it.. and be strong.. it is the process of nourishing our souls..the process of teaching ourselves to be grateful no matter what- for being thankful we would free ourselves from being greed and envy- and with only that we could embrace life meaningfully and we could understand that though it rains in our hearts.. life is still precious to just stay gloomy...

Dear heart.. be strong for me.. I want to be grateful.... always..
