I love this saying, because i've been through it before.
Long before, I used to have negative feelings. I was frustrated. I was envious on what other people have.
I always have this thought,
why other's people's lives are better than me
why they have such a good company
why they so perfect
why this and that...
for having this though, you would say, what kind of person I was
I was ungrateful, for not being content with what I had at that moment
The reason why I feel like that, because I cant see the good and how much Allah have give me all this while.
I dont know how to say this. I am a person who like an attachment with people. I need best friend,. I dont care even if I only have 1 best friend. From my childhood, to high school time, I used to have best friends. Not many, just 1 or 2. But we shared almost everything together. We laughed at joke that nobody understand , only us. We could even understand each other by eye contacts. so cool isn't it?
People envied our relationship. I didnt care if I didn't get so close to other people. I got so attached to her, but now, she's gone. I am left alone in this place.
Furthermore, I lost the person I love at that moment. I were so depend on them, now they'd gone.
I was shocked,and keep asking why this happened.I felt lonely. Me and my best friend were not really contact each other since each of us have been busy. I didn't keep up with her latest story, and when I knew her story,it's from someone else and it's already late. We used to see each other when Im back home, but it was just 2-3 times.
The same thing happened here. Allah tested me again and again. I keep losing them,the people I thought I treasure the most. I got lost. I was completely deviated from my path.
I was frustrated, I was sad, I feel pain, I feel helpless, my heart ached so much more than I could bear.
I couldn't study, I used to cry every single night. nobody knew because I never told anyone. I got depressed.
My results dropping , thankfully Allah did help me going through it. I passed my exam. Alhamdulillah.
Then I came to realize, that people come and go. Nothing is permanent in this world. Its fake.
When I came to realize it, I try to change my point of view. Remember Allah will replace anything you loss with better things. I have to accept when people leave . I start to be content with what I have. I try not to get so attached with people, so I wont get hurt. It works. Of course it took some time for me to understand this, it's hard but it's not impossible. As long I dont hurt anyone, its ok for me.
In life, you just have to follow the path in front of you, if not you will get stressed. We could only try our best to reach our goal and needs. If you fail, dont give up. Try until you succeed. Also you need to know when to stop when you need to. Stop depending on others and material things to be happy. Its wasting our time and energy. You body will get deprived.
Of course I cant tell everything here. That was only some part of it. Past is past. Im not going to look back again, but I will learn from it.
I've set my goal, and I have promise that I wont let anything stop my way including emotional things.
I am happy with what I have now. Alhamdulillah. :)
Dont tie your goal to people and things, they will frustrate you. When you get frustrated, you dont want to work. am I right?
'being grateful is the key of happiness'
be thankful to Allah and He will add more insyaALLAH.
till then bye!
