After every day seems to be blurred into one monotonous episode in 2020, I am hoping this year would be filled with more personal development and achievement. In one word, growth. I have been feeling stagnant for some time and I shouldn't continue to feel so. Enough with what happened in the past two years, I have taken a lot of time reading self-help books to boost myself up and its time to act. I am committed to take charge and responsibility towards the life I am creating. I have no one to impress, but only myself to prove that I can improve regardless. I hope this year I will keep on hoping and doing, keep on having the faith no matter how impossible what I seek may look.
I am also slowly realising that life is a series of choice. Every single moment is a choice. And in each choice, its either we are busy growing, or dying. I really hope I am growing, bit by bit. And I really hope I am utilising our finite days here on this world, before we eventually be resurrected and questioned for our deeds.
I hope I will always keep the bigger picture in my mind. That this life is nothing more but an amusement and play. And at the same time remember, that the way I am living this life, dictates how I am going to live the truer life in the hereafter soon.
May my and yours record of deeds this year would be beautiful.
And this worldly life is not but diversion and amusement. And indeed, the home of the Hereafter - that is the [eternal] life, if only they knew. -Quran Al-'Ankabut 29:64
Do not, then, either lose heart or grieve: for you shall surely gain the upper hand if you are true men of faith. - Quran Ali 'Imran 3:139
