Warm-Hearted

I've always wanted to do this and that. I've always told my friends to be fearless. Heck, I haven't overcome my fears. For almost two months I've stayed at home, I only managed to read 9 books (mostly fictions), enhance my guitar skill and cycle regularly. That's it. Procrastinating is my best friend. Whenever I tried to get up to do things that I should do, that little voices whispered "There's always tomorrow,". All in all, I became a total slacker. Too many distractions. Or maybe it's because I stayed in comfort zone for too long.

     Tomorrow, 1st of Ramadhan begins and I love how Ramadhan always embarks a new journey or transformation for particular muslims. Reminiscing last year Ramadhan, it was quite challenging for me to spend the blissful month at my college, for the first time I was away from my family. I can't believe almost a year has passed by then.

    Improve. Improvise. Be productive. Be fearless. Don't be afraid to try new things, because you don't know you might end up liking it. Always learn new things. Be a better Muslimah. Enhance your knowledge about Islam. Brush up your English skills (You ought to upgrade your skill because you want to pursue TESOL, don't you?). 

Here's a little bit of sharing:

Abû Hurayrah relates that Allah's Messenger (peace be upon him) said: “Whoever believes in Allah and the Last Day should speak a good word or remain silent. And whoever believes in Allah and the Last Day should show hospitality to his neighbor. And whoever believes in Allah and the Last Day should show hospitality to his guest.” [ Sahîh al-Bukhârî and Sahîh Muslim ]

     I believe that we should only speak of good thing or nothing at all. Sometime, I do bite my tongue to stop myself from telling things I know I shouldn't. Girls and gossips are like bread and peanut butter. So, before I try to speak something specifically about another person, I ask myself, "Do I have the authority to speak of that person? Is it okay to spill that person's secret? Is this the right thing to do? What is the consequence of my action?". Oh well, haven't you heard that, Great minds discuss ideas ; average minds discuss events ; small minds discuss people ? 

     I do realize that some people thought I am very quiet and serious whatsoever. But the thing is, I'm trying not to say something that might hurt my pride (or yours, even) because when I begin to be comfortable with certain people, I would speak carelessly and ridiculously. Haha. I should improve on that part.




I welcome you, Ramadhan, warm-heartedly :)
