A day, a year later (part deux)

Bismillah..

For some reason I open my blog couple of days from the post “a day, a year later”

Where making decisions, trying not to have regrets seem to be the issues I have to deal with before. Not that it’s not an issue now, but I think I’ve slowly started to believe that if you follow the correct guidelines in making a decision, there’ll be no room for regrets. True that ‘regret’ should not be in a muslim’s dictionary but one can’t help to feel so when one does not put his/her full trust in Allah, thinking anything happened is due to one’s own effort/doings.

It’s not more of an issue I’m having right now but I think self-improvement is something that I’m working on right now. I’m affected by something that Yasmin Mogahed said during the Marriage Conference last weekend *blush*. Hey! For all that matters, I got a free ticket to go there. Besides, it’s a good knowledge to take in whether you’re married or soon to get married or single. Good knowledge for future reference in my opinion :D

In her talks, Yasmin Mogahed said,

You can’t expect to go into a relationship empty and expect to be filled inside. Just like a beggar who doesn’t have anything will only know to ask from people yet unable to give anything in return.

You can’t expect to be filled emotionally/spiritually by asking the creation. Only the Creator that is able to fill you up inside.

Find the Creator to not make you empty inside. That way you’ll be able to give back to others

So here’s to a better and improve me inshaAllah. I’ll come and check back a day, a year later :P

Ps: previous posts seem to be waaaaay melancholic than I thought. Even I feel depressed re-reading them. Gosh! What happened before Sarah? Haha

Shine bright, shall we?

On the edge of a cliff

"I think too much"

Hai Assalamualaikum,


It's time to get something back in perspective. There will be times when you're on the verge of breaking down from over-analysing situations, juggling things and suppressing feelings. There will be time to vent out some of the anger *in a good way I mean* just to gain back the perspective you lost during this stress moment.


Some take a walk to clear his/her head. Some involve in rigorous activities where you'll be able to release some bottled-up pressure. Or probably cry. Or sleep.


Huahhh. It's been a LONG time since I last over-tire myself physically so as to release some bottled-up pressure I'm feeling now. It's not that big of a problem if you could just stop over-analyzing EVERY single thing, Sarah. Thinking 10 steps forward when actually none has been taken. Worry yourself when it's not going to solve the problem itself.


Take it one step at a time perhaps?
Well, it's supposed to be a marathon, not a sprint. You can't afford to fall apart during critical moment like this. One month before you reach the finishing line. Allahu musta'an.

"Oleh itu, maka (tetapkanlah kepercayaanmu) bahawa sesungguhnya tiap-tiap kesukaran disertai kemudahan.

(Sekali lagi ditegaskan): bahawa sesungguhnya tiap-tiap kesukaran disertai kemudahan" - (94:5-6)

Go read the Quran. Perform tahajjud. Dzikr. Allah is always there to listen. Only He can put you at ease.


Can I just scream? When the truth is, you're just tired from all the drama you're in.

Seriously, this is beautiful. Boleh rasa nak nangis
