Time passed by so fast. It’s already my 19th year living on this planet.
I’m moving very near towards the end of college days, but I am very much aware that my learning will never stop. I have big dreams to pursue. This end is only the beginning of everything.
Yes, I have missed a lot of things that others have experienced, and even though sometimes I envy others for having it fed to them, I know that God will give me the opportunity if I strive hard enough, and insyaAllah it’ll come down running, becoming something that I will benefit from for the rest of my life. This past year was just a step towards it, and I’m still thousands of miles away from my destination.
But the distance to final destination itself is beyond human’s mind. It seems very very very far away, yet it may also be right around the corner. We all live the illusion of many days to come, not realizing that tomorrow lies with Allah The Only One. This piece of song in stuck in my mind night and day, yet I still feel that it so far away…
A question posed by a friend of mine: If you were to die the second you get out of this building, hit by a bus, do you think that life has been worth it?
Well, frankly my first answer to it was no, coz my dream is waaay beyond hands reach, but then again, on second thought, what makes life worth its living? Is it a question that its meaning should be further scrutinized, or is it just a question that simply wants to ask you “what have you done in the past?”
If it is the latter, than the journey towards the dream would have been sufficient enough to make a life worth living. But I guess the answer will differ if the dream was only a worldly dream, coz without the end result, nothing would be meaningful.
A quote I read from a friend’s blog: “if it were not for the trials and calamities, we would arrive on the day of judgement bankrupt.” We don’t necessarily have to have the end results in our hands, but the ups and downs towards that would have counted, if we try and we strive our best, only with the right niyyah that is to please our Lord.
