God had always been fair to His creation. No doubt about that. I read some books since I was back from states and though some told something I have known, it taught me something different..

God changes those who would change themselves first *lebih kurang laa camtuh*

I perceive this as it is.. we have to make a move first in order to make a change in our live.. it’s not God’s work to change it.. If we work for it, and insyaAllah, with Allah’s will, the outcome would be promising.. But what happen if we don’t? Do God just neglect us and let us be as it is?

after reading some of the books, i realized, when we don’t work hard or if we don’t realize that we haven’t done the best, God still help us.. He gave opportunities after opportunities to change our live, to make a move about it.. And it’s up to us, to realize it ourselves..

Have you ever thought why sometimes, the same thing has been happening to you, over and over again? It can be a chores that you hate to do, or a work that you were given, though sometimes you sucked at it but people still shove you with them.. and you can only sigh and say to yourself, “why am I been given this challenge again and again?” and that’s it.. some don’t give a damn about the answer.. all they know, do it as you did it before and voila, it’s out of your way.. so getting it done is settled, but how about the main point of the challenge, challenging you back?

You neglected the main point of the challenge.. to make it better, to notice that you’ve done it wrong before.. A repeated event can also means, you have done it right before and learnt something, but this time, it’s a different trade..

Giving you a simple example, teaching a boy in kinder garden to read.. for them at that time, reading is important because everyone is doing it, parents been teaching them and probably, passing the tests and quizzes at school.. next time they learn how to read in school, the kid knows, he’ll be laugh at for not knowing how to read.. and as he grows older, he understands.. if he can’t read, he will never understand what’s happening around him.. *follow, he "thought", understands*

Giving another example, a girl who was given responsibilities, one after another.. at first, she thought its an experience to brush up her leadership qualities.. the next time she got the same responsibility, she thought it was to make her learn how to communicate with fellow leaders and also followers.. By this time, she thinks she knows everything how to lead.. next, she was in a group, and this time, she wants to experience being a follower though she was offered to be a leader *again, thinks that she’s capable of being a good leader*.. later, there she was, learning something from the new leader and saw, she was nothing near to a great leader.. she was merely a good one either.. she was just a normal and typical leader.. and at this point, she learnt to be humble..

I probably expended the examples too far apart but I think you know what I mean.. you thought something repeatedly happened to you must have something to do with that one trade you have.. but in actual fact, it can be that, or something you still haven’t learn in life..

Open your eyes, open your heart.. digest the happenings around you slowly… observe things around you with details.. You’ll be surprise with what you might discover.. and, with Allah’s will, you’ll learn to be a better person everyday…

"Ya Allah, i ask from you

asking for today is better than yesterday

asking for tomorrow is better than today

and the days after are better than the days before

For if tomorrow is worst than today, shame on me.."
