I think it is still not too late to wish all of my friends a very happy new year though today is already day 10th of 2012 
.
I miss writing here and miss talking to all my friends, that’s you if you have forgotten that
I have been away from my desk for two months. Some of you may know that I went to Mekah since October 2011. Came back earlier December and only now manage to write. My mistake… Been in my comfort zone for too long :-( that I forgot that I am a writer and writing gives me energy to look forward to life.
I would like to share with you my experience and stories while I was in Mekah and Madinah but that would be in my next posts. I promise . There’s so much that I would like to share, especially my experience that can make us a better person and I hope that by sharing my experience with you, makes me a better person even more.
Today I am not going to talk about Mekah or Madinah. I want to talk about well, what else… new resolution as now is just the beginning of 2012
Well, you might be saying that this is going to be something boring as everybody is talking about new resolution everytimes new year comes. Yes, I agreed to that and yes everybody is talking about new resolution nowadays. Actually I did talked about new resolution last year
So without breaking the tradition, I am going to talk about new resolution again… 
I believe that our resolution should be renewed; not every early of the year but early of each day. I hope you don’t misunderstood my words, therefore I am going to say this again; “Resolution should be renewed everyday not every early of the year.”
Why? You might ask.
Well, the way I see it, we should review our resolution at the end of every day i.e. before we go to sleep so that we can see whether what we have done that day aligned with our resolution or not and whether our resolution is really what we want, the thing that is going to make us happy in the end.
By reviewing this everyday we will always know whether we are in the right direction or not and whether we are making the right resolution to move towards our goal.
It is something like a pilot who is flying the airplane, always checking whether he is in the right direction towards his destination. If he is diverted from his destination, he will correct his way and fly back to the right direction. And if he arrive in a wrong destination, he can always turn back and fly towards the right destination. Provided of course the plane has enough fuel to fly there
Well, you got the picture.
Same with us, if we always check our actions, we will always know whether what we do are align with our resolution and whether our resolution is making us move towards our goal, our destination. And when suddenly we realize our resolution is a wrong one, we can make an immediate change to achieve our goal and have a happy life.
You see, things that makes us happy are the things that make us move forward. If we are not happy with what we are doing, we will remain static, be in just the same place or even worst move backward.
I learned this the hard way. I did something that I thought would bring me closer to my goal but truthfully it did not as I didn’t checked. And I wasted the whole year doing just that. In the end I realized that I was not moving forward at all instead moving much further away from my goal and suffered for the whole year not being happy.
Luckily someone made me realized what I did. Though it was painful to swallow but it was the truth. Hey! I am a human being, I make mistakes too. Like the saying “If you never make mistake, you will never grow.”
So my friends, I hope that I have share something valuable with you today and it will make you a better person today. If you make the wrong resolution last year, well you still have time to change it. It is never too late to make the change. As long as you are breathing, it is not too late no matter how old your are.
If you make a mistake, be sad, cry if you want to but after that review it and make improvement. Like a good friend of mine said don’t brood over it.
Remember this; everything happens for a reason, whether the thing that happens is good or bad. What happens next is much more important; it will depend on how we handle the situation.
Just to share with you, something bad happened to me today, I admit I brood about it at first but in the end I realize in a way it is a good thing. As it gave me the will to write tonight and realize the right direction to move. So it is not a bad thing after all
I am signing off with this prayer, “God, grant me the serenity to accept the things I cannot change, the courage to change the things I can, and the wisdom to know the difference.”
See you next time soon.
Take care
Hi Khadijah, remember me? Hope you do, just wanna say congrats to answering the call from god. The nature of love comes in a very weird way which no one really understands when it kindles or when it shines. You have a good fren who is there to stir you to the right path when you stray far far away. Thats not to bad.We finally reached our destination.
God created you with a special gift, A gift that is embedded in you. To shine the way for those who needs the light. A light that will lead to the road of victory. Its hard to find that special gift. Treat it well and always be grateful.
Hmmmm you have a resolution check each day? Well i find it hard to keep track of my resolution.You know one thing Khadijah. Each year my aim was to better than last year even if could gain as inch i would say ive gain Haha. Actually i find it hard to make one each year. Well finally i manage to clear one hurdle. SMOKING.
Just for sharing what did you do the whole year that you regretted?You said you learned it the hard way? Maybe i will get some learnings from this. Sorry to hear that you suffered a few incidents that makes you brood. Its the way of life. The sea is never stable. You are a fighter whom i knew. Maybe a fierce tigress GGgggrrrrrrrrr. Keep goin dont give up. Go where you wanna be. Forget the past. A scar left behind memories is a lesson to push us way forward.
Till we meet again. Get goin. you have my support.
Hi! How are you? Thanks for your comments and supports.
Yes there were a lot of things that I learned the hard ways but so far there are no regrets. As I believe everything happens for a reason and if we learn from every failure that we encounter, we become a better person each time.
Like Sydney Haris said, “Regret for the things we did can be tempered by time; it is the regret for the things that we did not do that is inconsolable.”
Take care.
