Taking Action

The life you live, is the life you choose.

Your happiness... your success.... and fulfillment are in your very own hands. You have the right to do whatever you want with it. Nobody can deny you this, except you.

What you tell yourself to do and the choices you make... shape your life and destiny.

No matter what the situation, you always have a choice. If you suddenly decide that whatever you have been doing isn't "right" for you, it is best to change your mind before you live to regret your decision because you will have to live with it… ultimately. It could be that so many things had changed since you first made a certain ‘commitment’ in life. Circumstances change constantly.

Decisions made yesterday might seem "right" at that time but it might not be the decisions that we want to live with today. It is good to give yourself permission to re-consider. If you decide to change your mind, it is okay!.

If you are happy with your decision, then go with it… but be fully aware. There might be a price to pay, but in the long run, it is better to change your mind sooner than later.

The right mind-set can have many consequences in the results of your efforts.

To be… or not to be…? It's for you to decide.

Finding A Solution

Alternatives

Firdaus, my dear son...

We don’t always get what we want. When things don’t quite work out as expected, it's OK to be sad... but don't dwell too long on your sadness and let it knock you off your path. Take a BIG DEEP BREATH and know that everything will happen in perfect time, insyaAllah.

There's no use letting the things you can't control dictate your level of happiness. How you choose to see and accept the recent situation will greatly affect your emotions, thoughts and actions from this point forward.

Your mindset will determine different outcomes in your life. So instead of fighting against a situation which you have no control over, let it go. Change your mindset and map out new visions ... new alternatives ... into your life. Choose to see your new changes as a blessing in disguise.

Remember Sayang, this is only a minor detour; not a denial. The best is yet to come... yakinlah !

Naluri Dan Gerak Hati

Well - the first week of 2012 has been "interesting"!

A LOT of momentum so far!

Aaaaaaaand, in the middle of all that - I managed to get a few things done.


1.1.12 ~ Sessi berkenal-kenalan dengan keluarga Tina di Bandar Perda sekaligus merisik.

7.1.12 ~ Day trip to KL untuk berkenal-kenalan dengan Tina's Dad and family di Selayang. Selepas menjamu selera dan berbincang, cincin pertunangan pun disarungkan and we were on our way back to Penang again. Letih… tapi sangat happy !! Alhamdulillah.

… and the countdown begins !!


Farid, my dear son…

I'm happy with your decision and I'm proud of you.

Decisions require instinct and intuition. A person's world is only as big as their heart.

Be noble minded! It is our own heart, and NOT other people's opinions of us, which forms our true honour.

There is no instinct like the instinct of the heart. Listening to your heart is not simple. Finding out who you are is not simple. It takes a lot of hard work and courage to know what you want. Always have a strong mind and a soft heart, my luv.

If you begin the day with love in your heart, peace in your nerves, and truth in your mind, you will not only benefit it yourself but you will also bring benefits to your family, friends, and to all those whose destiny crosses your path.

Whatever task that you undertake, do it with all your heart and soul. Always be courteous, never be discouraged.

Last but not least, pesanan Mama, do not look for approval... except in the consciousness of doing your best.

I love you.

Facebook

6 am, 3 January 2012 -

I woke up in the morning, did my prayers and checked my Facebook like it’s the morning paper.

hmmmmmmm.... I see...
Bye Bye Facebook.
I am deactivating my account.
I really don't need this.

WORDS

There are words in life to inspire us,
Words that bring comfort and care;
But sometimes we speak harsh words
Inflicting pain on another.

Words that are chosen wisely
Which we speak in a gentle tone,
Are those that come from our heart
And with them true kindness is shown.

The tongue is a helpful tool
So light...
Yet we sometimes fail to hold it.
Instead of using it as a magic wand
To tap a bit of encouragement upon ones heart..
Or a smile upon ones face,
We use it as a dangerous weapon
A sword to cut people down
Leaving hearts broken.

Instead of using it
To place blessings upon ones life,
We use it to curse others
Not realizing we are really cursing ourselves.

We must learn to hold this dangerous weapon
Learn to watch the words..
Before we kill others as well as ourselves!

Each of your words is like a feather in the wind. Once spoken, no amount of effort, regardless how heartfelt or sincere, can ever return them to your mouth. So choose your words well, and guard them most of all in the presence of those you love.

Encouraging words can lift someone up and help them make it through the day. Destructive words are weapons that causes deep wounds.

Something said by a stranger won't have nearly the effect as the same things said by someone you know, someone you trust, someone you love - like your parents, your spouse, your children, a best friend, an employer/employee etc.. Because the words come from someone you respect, you take them to heart. Though they are only words but because they were said by someone you know, it causes you the most pain.

Insensitive comments... ;

Thoughts that should have remained thoughts... ;

Feelings which had no business being expressed... ;

Opinions carelessly tossed like a grenade into a crowd... ;

Thank you all concerned. I hope that was worth it!

face your problems ;
don't facebook your problems!
