The new semester; semester 2 has begun and it is the time to shine. Say Alhamdulillah. Thank you, Allah for the opportunity to be alive until this very moment. There are several assignment needed to be entertain yet, there are also ideas keep bugging me from time to time, forcing me to jot them down somewhere. Smile.
In the previous entry, I wrote something about turning over a new leaf; the big step to be a better person. Why is it so damn important to change our attitude; mind-setting about life and strengthening our iman? Well, every human thinking about how to change the world but they forget the fact that they are a part of the world too. Basically; to change the world, to change the society, to change the social integrity, start with ourselves. Be a better muslim.
However, there are obstacles that might get in our way, making it harder to be achieved. And there is a million of it. It take years to list them down.
The biggest challenge ever is to deal with our fear. How to cope with it and what to do with it? It is seriously hard to handle. And most of us keep whining around, blaming the fate and create stupid excuses to run away from it. Hey, quit dreaming! The world is revolving faster than the blinking of our very own eyes. Just snap out of it and face the ‘cruel’ reality. Stop being such a coward.
What is fear? My lecturer once said that fear is the feeling of being threaten by the consequences of a particular action. The feeling of, “Oh, damn it! I’m so screwed what are the people going to say about me now?” It is still not happening, yet we got very scared of it. Why do human always keep imagining about the negative outcome they might get? Why are we being so pessimistic?
“Whyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy?!”
The future is not that bad, okay. No pain, no gain. Life is a struggle and if you refuse you better be died by now. Wahaha. Evil laugh. Okay, just kidding around. Don’t commit suicide! Don’t even think about it.
If we realise, the things we are fear of are the things that MIGHT happen. It is an illusion made up by our mind. There are still chances it will turn out the way we want it to. Tadaaa! Again, the problem is our mind-setting. Try to be more optimistic. Allah will never burden us with something we can’t bear with. As a matter of fact, it is not a burden. I call it as a gift, a lesson, a something to make us stronger than ever.
And I suppose, you always hear voices coming out from nowhere. Seducing you to give up and let it be. Do you know where the voices come from? It is the voice of ‘the human’. And there are two type of ‘the human’.
Firstly, the one around us; the one who glares and stares at us fiercely as they are going to eat us and rip us off flesh by flesh. We can’t change how are they staring at us but we definitely can change how we think of them. There was a saying goes like, “When you are an infant, you thought everybody were thinking about you. When you grow up, you then realise, they were not even think about you at all.“ Just let them be and care less about them. We have more important mission to be focus on.
Secondly, the one inside our head; roaming around and generating thousands of lies and excuses to keep us away from the right track. Yes, it do lives in our head. They are the one who alter our emotion. But in reality, we are the one who supposed to have the authority to control them. Disbelieving in one self is something to be thrown away into the dumpster. Believe in yourself and start to feel very good about it.
“Lu cakap senang lah! Cuba buat sekali.”
Ohoho. For your information, I’m getting very thrilled and extremely excited with the idea to change to be a better person. And hell yeah, I’m trying too. Peace yaw. Eh, where does that voice came from?
Beware of the humans! They truly exists. Believe me.
