Believe so...

Someone close to you is so depressed.

Someone close to you is feeling so down.

What do you say to that someone?

How do you console them?

That its just one of the challenges of life...

That Allah swt. is testing us...

That we have to be more patience...

That we have to be strong...

That we have to hold tightly to our belief...

That we have to reinforce and enrich our time with Allah swt. ...

That we have to have faith in Allah swt. ...

What else do we say to that someone?

People know all these. Just that they tend to forget ... or lose hope?

Should we? I don't think so.

Hope is all that we have.

Hope is 'the one thing' that we have to hold dear too... in all circumstances

I believe we have to trust Allah swt. for HE knows what is in store for us....

Have trust. Have faith. For Allah swt. is there for us, all the time, good or bad.

Thats the best I can say. Guess you have to believe so too...

Insyaallah you will feel good. Insyaallah you will feel great.

The feeling of depression ... its all in our thoughts. You can control them. I believe so.

Everything happens for a reason. We all know this. But, like myself too, we need to stop and think...

Not to think of what the reason is... thats beyond our mind...

But, to believe that theres a reason why things happened ... believe that something good, something worth waiting for, is there for you... we never know... nobody knows... (Of course Allah swt knows) ... until it happens. So no question. Just believe so. Period.

Kalambicara needs some time to be with Allah swt. ...

Life is a Gift

Today before you think of saying an unkind word
Think of someone who can't speak.

Today before you complain about life
Think of someone who went too early to heaven.

And when you are tired and complain about your job
Think of the unemployed, the disabled and those who wished they had your job.

But before you think of pointing the finger or condemning another
Remember that not one of us are without sin and we all answer to one maker.

And when depressing thoughts seem to get you down
Put a smile on your face and thank God you're alive and still around.

Life is a gift, Live it, Enjoy it, Celebrate it, And fulfill it.

I like the wordings above. They were meant to cheer me up... to think positively and to avoid myself from going bonkers! :)

Kalambicara is ending today's post with the quote below:

DO NOT ADJUST YOUR GOALS TO BRING THEM IN LINE WITH YOUR LIFE.

ADJUST YOUR LIFE TO BRING YOU IN LINE WITH YOUR GOALS.

Till then...

Theres a reason...

I know that I have not been posting anything here for almost a month now. Earlier, I was not in my right mind... A few things were complicating my mind and it affected by body and soul. It was hard controlling oneself, holding tightly, so as not to be blown off ... but after much ado, (soul searching, lots of thinking, muhasabah diri and all), I survived, though razor thin... sigh.

I had given enough time to understand situations and learn to accept people as they are (not as what you expected, wanted them to be or to change them to your standards set, etc) and to accept the fact that all incidents happened with a reason. Its the Almighty's way of testing oneself, your endurance, courage, faith and above all, because the Almighty loves you and do not want you to be drifted further... It is also the Almighty's way to ensure that one is on the right track...I believe so.

Anyway, put that aside, I am back. Am feeling good. Am enjoying what I am doing so far... Reading has always been my passion, what more when I now have the opportunity to work in an environment surrounded by reading materials - books, journals, magazines... and books too (both physical and virtual) being the core services of my department. I truly like...

Today, my close confidante at work left the company, for good. I am supposed to feel sad, but I don't. Not really. I refused to bid farewell to her, though we took a moment to hug each other and giggling while doing so.

Both of us understood that from tomorrow onwards, we will not be working together in this same organisation. Thats all. We are not parting and going away from each other. We might not see each other everyday, but theres always the means of communication. We live in a borderless world. Thus, nothing is impossible and theres no reason not to communicate or not keeping in touch. I know we will still share secrets and all and had already set a date for our next outing, so theres no reason for me to seriously bid farewell.

Yes, I do miss her, already... missed sharing stories and confiding matters to each other, but that gives me a chance to compile and to add more spices so that our next communication session will be much heated up... So, till then ... Azila Alya Dahalan... I know you are such a courageous lady, and I believe that you can easily overcome all, through thick and thin, walk tall and glory will be yours, soon. Remember, La Tahzan and semua yang berlaku ada hikmahnya. Insyaallah.

Kalambicara signing off for now...
