Sensitive

Warning: This post contains sensitive issue on religion. Do not read on if you feel it will be offensive.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

I risked writing this here openly in the world wide web but what the heck! I know deep in my heart, even though they do not show it openly but my family will still love me regardless of what religion I have embraced or what path I have chosen. I have wronged them for not telling about my status in an honoured way. But Allah works in a mysterious way.

I read recently a friend's note in FB and I felt sorry and sad for her. She has found the 'light' but alas now lost her way. I wanted to comment on her notes but I guess that would only offend her and a lot of other people from our circle of friends and also my Christian family members. Sini pun sama, but at least sikit org yg baca my blog :P.

I don't want know to appear as an 'extremist' but what is wrong, is wrong.

For a lot of people, stuffs regarding religion are very sensitive especially for Sabahan and more so if its got to do with Islam (I know my parents are). Its strange but she seemed proud of what she had done. Its like she is proud that she had all that experiences and live to tell it to the whole wide world. But who am I to judge her ? I don't really blame her. I blame it on her desperate need of attention, mixing with the wrong kind of friends and most of all, blame it on her ex husbands who failed to guide her as they should.

I hope one day, she will see the 'light' again.

InsyAllah

Health, Personality, Society & Life

Someone sent me this and I kinda like it, thought of sharing it with you. If you starts to sweat over the small stuffs, think of these (especially the ones under Personality, Society and Life)

Health
Drink plenty of water.
Eat breakfast like a king, lunch like a prince and dinner like a beggar.
Eat more foods that grow on trees and plants and eat less food that is manufactured in plants.
Live with the 3 E's -- Energy, Enthusiasm, and Empathy.
Make time to practice meditation and prayer.
Play more games.
Read more books than you did in 2008.
Sit in silence for at least 10 minutes each day.
Sleep for 7 hours.
Take a 10-30 minutes walk every day. And while you walk, smile.

Personality
Don't compare your life to others'. You have no idea what their journey is all about.
Don't have negative thoughts or things you cannot control. Instead invest your energy in the positive present moment.
Don't over do. Keep your limits.
Don't take yourself so seriously. No one else does.
Don't waste your precious energy on gossip.
Dream more while you are awake.
Envy is a waste of time. You already have all you need.
Forget issues of the past. Don't remind your partner with his/her mistakes of the past. That will ruin your present happiness.
Life is too short to waste time hating anyone. Don't hate others.
Make peace with your past so it won't spoil the present.
No one is in charge of your happiness except yourself.
Realize that life is a school and you are here to learn. Problems are simply part of the curriculum that appear and fade away like algebra class but the lessons you learn will last a lifetime.
Smile and laugh more.
You don't have to win every argument. Agree to disagree.

Society
Call your family often.
Each day give something good to others.
Forgive everyone for everything.
Spend time with people over the age of 70 & under the age of 6.
Try to make at least three people smile each day.
What other people think of you is none of your business.
Your job won't take care of you when you are sick. Your friends will. Stay in touch.

Life
Do the right thing!
Get rid of anything that isn't useful, beautiful or joyful.
GOD heals everything.
However good or bad a situation is, it will change.
No matter how you feel, get up, dress up and show up.
The best is yet to come.
When you awake alive in the morning, thank GOD for it.
Your Inner most is always happy. So, be happy.

Life is short, be grateful of whatever you have today.
