Khabarkan yang baik baik. Vol 3

 

I wasn’t a good person in the past. I’m not going to tell stories about what I did before. Allah has covered my faults, and I have no intention of exposing them.

But when I reached my 40s, I started trying and working hard to become a better version of myself. I do what I need to do, and I say what needs to be said. I don’t need validation from other people. If they don’t like me, there’s nothing I can do about it.I simply do what is best for myself.

I keep my circle small.

Love

I admit that I like someone. I’ve put effort into someone I care about, and perhaps I do have feelings for her. But I am aware of where I stand. I do not force anything because everyone has the right to choose. I don’t want her to choose me out of sympathy or because she feels indebted to me.

If she chooses me, let it be because she genuinely wants to choose me, not because she feels obligated to. Love should never be built on obligation.

She is beautiful, and I'm sure she has many options. I have done my part. At the very least, I would rather fail after trying than fail without doing anything at all. I feel that I have done my best to win her heart. If that is still not enough, there is not much more I can do.

Work

I choose to protect my mental and emotional well-being so that work pressure does not affect my physical and mental health. When I feel that I have done enough, I stop.

Work will never truly be finished. There will always be tasks waiting, and the workload only grows with time. I refuse to let work interfere with my life and responsibilities outside working hours.

When it is time to stop, I stop.
We never know what tomorrow holds. If I were gone tomorrow, the company could easily find a replacement. They might remember me for a week or two, and then it would be business as usual.

Life

My previous boss once told me that life is not fair. Human beings struggle to be fair. If we depend on people, we will eventually be disappointed. Fairness is not a human trait because we are not perfect, are we?

Ask only from Allah. Allah is the Most Just. I surrender myself and all my life’s plans to Allah. InsyaAllah , Allah will take care of my life. Pursue worldly things, and you may gain the world (are you?). Pursue the Hereafter, and you will gain both the world and the Hereafter.

But that’s the hard part, isn’t it?
