Be, & it is...

It has been raining all day. I feel like munching something now. Maybe due to the cold weather, my stomach seems to be empty. However, since I rarely feel this way, I have nothing to munch here at my home. No biscuits or whatsoever. So, to distract myself, here I am, typing something for my blog.

"For me, my thing is my whole life I work very hard for everything & I succeed because I really put my mind into it. I work day & night, I'd do whatever it takes to win & I try to be a winner. This is something I can't win, you know & I just don't understand. I don't know. I just don't understand why it hasn't happen for us..."

- Giuliana in Giuliana&Bill S3E4

I don't follow the show but now & then I happen to watch it like last nite. I understand how she feels. Yes, there are things in this life that we could (simply) achieve if we work very hard like getting a degree, climbing a hill, running in a marathon, traveling around the world & shedding a few kilos. However, for this one thing, hard work & determination or even money are not the key to make it happen.

Luckily, as a Muslim I believe that life & death are Allah's affairs. Some things are just beyond our control. It'll only happen solely with Allah's will no matter how healthy & normal we are or how many efforts we put into it. It's not like driving a car to our desired destination where we ourselves could steer the car following the route that we have planned to take. Even so, still we arrive safely at our destination with Allah's will.

"And Allah has full power and control over His Affairs..."

(Qur'an 12: 21)

So, just be grateful as for every trial, there will be reward for those who are patient. :)

"Peace be upon you for that you persevered in patience!" 
(Qur'an: 13: 24)

I just remember that I have a box of Coco~Crunch in the kitchen cabinet.
