Oh What a Day!

Mornings sekarang ni sooo gloomy, rase malas sgt3 nak gi keje. takde mood nak buat ape, tp i try to always look at the brighter side of things, things that we usually take for granted such as:

*waking up- u're alive! that's something to be thankful for
*being healthy- all of ur five senses are working
*arriving to work safe- all the scary junctions and traffic make me nervous ;p
*ur computer isn't in one of its stubborn/ mental moods
*the internet connection isn't all *&%^$# up

...and those are just a few of the cajillion things that we shud be thankful for.

anyway, i've got this list of quotes that Alhamdulillah helps me get thru situations that have dampened my spirits. they're from a book called "Life is an Open Secret" by Zabrina A. Bakar.

*Half Full or Half Empty? You Choose

~ You can complain because roses have thorns, or you can rejoice because thorns have roses ~ Ziggy

*Face Challenges with Zest

~ God turns us from one feeling to another ad teaches us by means of opposites, so that we have two wings to fly- not one ~ Rumi

~ So verily, with the hardship, there is relief, Verily, with the hardship, there is relief ~ (Ash-Sharh 94:5-6)

~ And your Lord said: ‘ Invoke Me [i.e. believe in My Oneness and ask Me for anything] I will respond to your (invocation)’ ~ (Ghafir 40:60)

~ Fighting (in Allah’s Cause) is ordained for you (Muslims) though you dislike it, and it may be that you dislike a thing which is good for you and that you like a thing which is bad for you. Allah knows, but you do not know ~ (Al-Baqarah 2:216)

*Aim and Strive

~ If you can’t fly, run. If you can’t run, walk. If you can’t walk, crawl, but, by all means, keep moving ~ Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr.

~ Whoever works righteousness, man or woman, and has Faith, verily, to him will We give a new Life, a life that is good and pure and We will bestow on such their reward according to the best of their actions ~ (An-Nahl 16:97)

*Stay Steadfast

~ And verily, I am indeed Forgiving to him who repents, believes (in My Oneness, and associates none in worship with Me) and does righteous, good deeds, and then remains constant in doing them, (till his death) ~ (Taha 20:82)

*Say the Word and Do the Action

~ “Whoever, among you, sees something abominable, should rectify it with his hand; and if he has not strength enough to do it, then he should do it with his tongue; and if he has not strength enough to do it, (even) then he should (abhor it) from his heart, and that is the least of Faith” ~ Muslim

*Be Ready for Opportunities in Life

~ Great opportunities to help others seldom come, but small ones surround us daily ~ Sally Koch

~ But I admit, when one door closes, another opens. But we often look so regretfully upon the closed door that we don’t see the one that has opened for us ~ Helen Keller

* Be Persistent

~ It is never too late to become what you might have been ~ George Eliot

*Trust your Lord

~ Worry does not empty tomorrow of its sorrow; it empties today of its strength ~ Corrie Ten Boom
