Staying the course

Staying the Course
By BJ Gallagher

Our journey of life is about progress,
not perfection.
It's not about doing one thing
100% better -
it's a matter of doing 100 things,
1% better each day.

Progress is evolutionary
not revolutionary,
and most days we measure our progress
in inches,
not miles.

What matters most
is showing up for your life
whether you feel like it
or not.

Ask yourself,
"What two or three little things
can I do today
that would move me forward?"

You'll be amazed
at how much distance
you can cover
by taking it in increments.

The little things add up;
the inches turn to miles;
and we string together our efforts
like so many pearls.
Before long,
look what you have -
a whole strand!

Ah... beautiful.

JOY = HOPE + LOVE + FAITH

Ameen Ya Rabbal 'alamin

To abang,
This beautiful love song is dedicated to you

Aku ingin menjadi mimpi indah
Dalam tidurmu
Aku ingin menjadi sesuatu
Yang mungkin bisa kau rindu

Karena langkah merapuh
Tanpa dirimu
Oh… Karena hati tlah letih

Aku ingin menjadi sesuatu
Yang slalu bisa kau sentuh
Aku ingin kau tahu bahwa aku
Selalu memujamu

Tanpamu sepinya waktu
Merantai hati
Oh… Bayangmu seakan-akan

Kau seperti nyanyian dalam hatiku yang
Memanggil rinduku padamu
Seperti udara yang kuhela kau selalu ada

Oh…

Hanya dirimu
Yang bisa membuatku tenang
Tanpa dirimu
Aku merasa hilang… dan sepi
Dan sepi…

Kau seperti nyanyian dalam hatiku yang
Memanggil rinduku padamu
Seperti udara yang kuhela kau selalu ada

Kau seperti nyanyian dalam hatiku yang
Memanggil rinduku padamu
Seperti udara yang kuhela kau selalu ada

Selalu ada…
Kau selalu ada…
Selalu ada…
Kau selalu ada…

Sya… na na na…

(Please ignore the unnecessary film/artists scene)



Let's love & live happily ever after..like a fairytale

The Handsome Siblings

Assalamualaikum

Presenting..
The handsome siblings:)
















































Personally, i really like the pic when both of them - solat berjemaah - dgn waleed:)

It's already summer. They love spending their evenings playing with the sands

They also like to play 'Batman' and 'Robin', sambil menyuruh ummi mengikat kain pelekat waleed kat leher diorang

Bas 'Central London' tu actually kat nearby supermarket je. Bukan kat London betul2:)

Whenever there's pain, try your best to smile

Assalamualaikum

Currently..missing my family in Malaysia
Wanted to do lots of thing with them, ..but can't

Wanted to talk to them, but can't
Wanted to call them often, but can't
Wanted to laugh with them, but can't
Wanted to hug them, but can't
Wanted to chat with them, but can't
Wanted to eat with them, but can't
Wanted to laugh with them, but can't
Wanted to cry with them, but can't
Wanted to walk with them, but can't

and wanted to do lots of other things
and wanted to share lots of dreams
..but can't
..and it felft really hurt inside
..as if something is stucked inside the throat
..as if something is blocking the lung
..until it became so difficult to breath
..until it became so difficult to talk
..until it became so difficult to do any single thing

well,
yeah..

maybe it's time to sleep already
hoping that tomorrow will come
and erase these sorrow
and bring new happiness

How to Enjoy What You Are Doing, No Matter What

Assalamualaikum

Sometime..i feel that..
Too much of free time, that sometime, i'm being spoiled by it

Let's enjoy this good read, insyaAllah:

How to Enjoy What You Are Doing, No Matter What

In an ideal world, you would only have to do the things you loved to do, but reality is sometimes far from ideal, forcing you to deal with things that you’d rather leave for someone else.

Most successful people would agree that being able to do well on things you don’t like is essential for success, as consistent performance makes you stand out from your peers. So, how do you motivate yourself to not only get through it, but actually find some enjoyment in the process? Because remember, you’re more likely to perform well if you enjoy what you’re doing.

This Lifehack article offers six great tips that can help you find your sweet spot, no matter what you’re doing.

1. Look at the long-term benefit – Keep your eye on the future, and how this activity can benefit you later.

2. Find what you can learn from it – There’s always something you can learn from any situation. If you really can’t think of anything, at least it can teach you to be persistent no matter what, which is a valuable lesson in and of itself.

3. Think of doing it for someone you love

4. Enjoy your interactions with other people

5. Think and say something positive – Self-talk can make you or break you here. Focus on thinking and saying positive things, such as what a great learning experience this is, or how much you enjoy the people you’re working with, for example.

6. Gather with passionate people – Although you might hate the activity, others may be quite passionate about it. Whenever you can, choose to be infected by others’ positive energy.

Having a positive attitude is equally important when it comes to optimizing and maintaining your good health. Choosing to be happy is very easy to say but may be difficult to put into practice in the real world. Nevertheless, the benefits to your health -- both mental and physical -- are very real, but it will take some effort to get there.

If you're struggling with a negative attitude, one of the best and most effective natural treatments at your disposal -- the Emotional Freedom Technique -- has nothing to do with a one-pill-cure and everything to do with removing the cause or reason why you may be self sabotaging yourself with limiting beliefs.

You tend to manifest what you believe, and most of us have some pretty wacky beliefs that ruin our happiness on a regular basis. If you haven't yet taken advantage of EFT I would strongly encourage you to do so.

Hati yang lalai

Assalamualaikum wrt

Sedikit perkongsian pada hari ini
Baru selesai Discussion & Tilawah online bersama beberapa teman2 masdutch
Tilawah & Tadabbur: Al-Anbiya': 1-15

Ayat 1 dan 3, disebut ttg 'lalai'. Diulang 2 x, kalimat yg membawa maksud lalai
Ayat 1: Ghaflah=lalai
Ayat 3: Lahiyah=lalai

Di antara hakikat lalai yang paling membinasakan adalah lalai untuk meneliti hati sehingga hati yang segar bertukar menjadi gersang kemudian berpenyakit sehingga membawa kematian hati.

4 stages kehidupan hati:
1. Hati yg segar
2. Hati yg gersang
3. Hati yg berpenyakit
4. Hati yg mati

Seandainya hati kita mati lantaran kelalaian kita, Ibn Qayyim mengatakan “Anda adalah seorang pembunuh!” Anda telah membunuh hati anda sendiri.

Ibn Qayyim al Jauziyah telah menulis: “Sesungguhnya Allah menjadikan hati adalah untuk ma’rifatullah, mentaati-Nya dan mencintai-Nya. Sekiranya ketiga-tiga perkara ini tidak berlaku maka hati itu sebenarnya telah cacat”

3 Tanda2 hati yg hidup:
1. Ma'rifatullah
2. Mentaati Allah
3. Mencintai Allah

Kematian hati sememangnya biasanya tidak dirasai oleh pemilik hati kecuali mereka yang masih dikehendaki kebaikan oleh Allah SWT. Kematian hati tidak memberhentikan penambahan usia. Kehidupan zahir tetap berjalan cuma hati kita telah berhenti berfungsi. Inilah kematian sebelum ajalnya.

Takutilah hari di mana anda kematian hati tetapi anda tidak menyedarinya. Jasad anda hanya ‘kubur’ yang menyimpan ‘hati yang telah mati itu’

Ubat hati yg lalai:

Obat Hati ada lima perkaranya
Yang pertama baca Qur’an dan maknanya
Yang kedua sholat malam dirikanlah
Yang ketiga berkumpullah dengan orang sholeh
Yang keempat perbanyaklah berpuasa
Yang kelima dzikir malam perbanyaklah
(Petikan nasyid)

Berkata seorang ulama, Ibrahim Al-Khawas RA: “ Sesungguhnya ubat hati itu ada lima perkara, maka ubatilah hati kamu dengan lima perkara tersebut. Pertamanya, bacalah Al-Quran dengan menghayati isi kandunganya. Kedua, mengosongkan perut dari terlalu kenyang atau berpuasa. Ketiga, bangun ( beribadat ) di waktu malam. Keempat, menghampirkan diri kepada Allah ( beribadat ) disepertiga malam dan yang kelimanya, sentiasa bersama-sama di dalam majlis orang-orang yang soleh ”

Selamat beramal!
