as i reflect about my life, i began to realise one thing: all things do happen for a reason. every failure, success, sadness, joy and anger has its reasons. its all part of the big picture. it's very much like art. we lead our lives each day by the picture that He wants us to be. every colour and every stroke that He makes with the brush is to create this final masterpiece. the perfect masterpiece of every individual. he knows for what is best for the picture. He truly knows. the picture that He's painting might not be what we want but that's only because we do not understand His idea of a perfect piece. we just need to have faith and trust that all this is for the best of our lives.
but what if i'm destined to fail, but what if i'm bound to lead a miserable life? but what if my picture is an ugly one. why bother about trying. its all about fate and destiny. i shouldn't even have given my best. what i do would only result in more disappointment. why? why must it be me? why can't i have a better life?
leaving everything to fate is just like saying you do not want your picture to be painted. and that means a chance of not leading the perfect life. every picture that is to be painted is carefully done to make it a perfect one. the problem for most of us is that we are unable to appreciate it. we want our lives to be smooth sailing,filled with joy and to be perfect in our eyes but perfection is subjective. so is happiness. we decide for ourselves wheather or not we want to be happy with our lives. it's about seeing the glass half full or half empty. its all in the mind. we decide.
the picture to be painted is perfect, no matter how we perceived it because we do not comprehend His plan. every individual is perfect in his own way. we are in no position to comment on how perfect our lives are as we truly do not know what is real perfection. only He does. we just have to trust and appreciate it.
treat failures, downfalls, setbacks and other negative things that have happened to us as life lessons for learning and improvement.and yes, its true there's always a blessing in disguise. just wait patiently for it will come. if you think there's always a mountain higher, bear in mind that there's always a mountain or a hill lower. be grateful and appreciative of where we are.
to the person close to my heart that i look up and respect to,
i understand that this must be the toughest period of your life.you have worked so hard in the hope that everything would turn out well. you did everything possible to make ends meet, to make things better for everyone, to improve the lives of others.yes you have.
however,disappointments after disappointments. but despair not. have faith in Him and trust that all this happen for a reason. it's a test. it truly is. tough times do not last but tough men do.
"...help us to be wise
and guide us with Your grace
in times when we don't know..."
you have my prayers. insyAllah everything would be fine.
