I used to be able to blog lengthy paragraphs before. Could it be I’ve lost my mojo? I’ve lost touch on my handwriting too.
I was so close to saying this year have been a testing year, then I started to think about other challenges that I might have faced but have let go anyway. The whole time I’ve been reading self help books to instill, what I always call, positive vibes, seems like it have completely erased from my mind.
At random times, the thought just hit my mind that that’s how life is made up of – challenges in spite of good times are probably orchestrated to alert us of the waves that we need to dodge from, and come back to it again when the sea is calm. Felt like I was about to have a goodpicnic, and came hujan lebat yang tak kasi signal.
I spent some time to do what I would usually do in my stormy emotions, but it probably doesn’t work anymore.
Perhaps, someday, someday HE will present the exact thing we’ve been seeking for.
Now, why is it easier to write than to register in my head?
In my many attempts to put my words across, I felt numb, clueless and the whole idea just vanished from my mind. I find myself questioning alot about life, about time, about feelings and about lost and live.
I lost the ability to put words to writing and ended up suppressing the whole chunk of suffocating emotions down my throat everytime someone asked me a simple ‘How are you?’.
I forgot how to feel.
The route have been rather unpredictable and the path ahead is hazy. So the only way to go is to keep walking.
I’ve fallen hard. And taking a step at a time to get back up again.
We worry about our jobs, our children … and what the neighbours think!
Some people will even tell you, “You SHOULD worry!”
But worrying is WORSE THAN USELESS! Firstly, it attracts misfortune. Secondly, it is bad for your health!
So what should you do about worry? Postpone it! Take action FIRST … and postpone worry indefinitely. That’s what effective people do.
Whenever you want to worry, ask yourself, “What is the problem right this second?”
Guess what you’ll find …Unless you are in a life threatening situation, you don’t have a problem!
Of course, disasters do happen. Illness happens. Financial crises happen. That’s no reason to live life like a frightened rabbit.
When crises come, you can deal with them MOMENT BY MOMENT.
It’s only when your mind drifts into the future that it crushes you.
And your mind will want to drag you into the future!
Stay in the present!
Do whatever you can do today – and leave worry out of it.
Look at your life. Has there ever been a situation that you didn’t survive? There hasn’t! You can handle the present. It’s just the future that gives you trouble!
In a Nutshell
When it comes to worry, procrastinate!
When someone asks, “Aren’t you worried about that?” tell them, “I’ve been meaning to worry about it – but I didn’t get around to it!”

When I watched this last week, the huge theatre had only a few who watched on a Friday noon. I personally loved every bit of how it is filled with so much love, humanity and moral values. On how one with lack of other abilities are filled with so much compassion in his heart.
Life is unpredictably beautiful as it is. Worth to watch this all over again!
May Allah bless Yasmin Ahmad for her amazing works and show the light to those who haven’t found theirs.
Life goes like this. We get hit by little pebbles - as a kind of warning. When we ignore the pebbles, we get hit by a brick. Ignore the brick and we get wiped out by a boulder. If we're honest, we can see where we have ignored the warning signs. And then, we have the nerve to say "Why me?"
