Blessings

Sometimes, when it's so hard that you feel like breaking apart, you just have to remind yourself that there are more people who suffer harder challenges in life than you do.

Allah still loves me I guess, that He doesn't allow me to give up on this one subject that I am taking at school. This morning, my teacher called me and asked me to sit in front of her. She noticed that I left so many questions unanswered whilst they should be answered, for the sake of my well-being (hahahaa). Yes, I've made a statement that I hate the subject that I want to ignore it. And now, I regret of what I've told myself, really. :( Mmm, bad bad Amal ey? 

I never thought that Allah would show me the signal that I still have the chance to better myself in anything. And the scene of my teacher calling me to ask me to solve the questions in front of her is one of the signs that I can't give up on anything, especially myself. I don't know, this seems pretty normal-and-not-interesting-at-all stuff. But for me, I do think that Allah is telling me something through this. She is so thoughtful, my teacher. 

When I think that I've had enough of this subject, Allah asks me to be grateful of what I actually have at the moment. 

Sebab...

banyak je lagi students yang berangan nak ambil subjek ni untuk SPM, tapi tak dapat sebab result PMR diorang tak melayakkan diri diorang untuk ambil subjek ni. Sementara orang yang Allah dah kata layak, (read; aku lah tu) senang-senang je cakap, "I would fail this at the end of the day" without even trying to do what I should be doing. Hey, malu. Malu dengan diri sendiri. 

Syarat-syarat kelayakan untuk take up Science course dalam program tajaan pun ada tulis terang-terangan, at least A (or A-). Berangan sampai ke langit nak pergi luar negara, jadi scholar, to experience life far from tanah tumpah darah etc etc, tapi, awal-awal lagi dah rasa putus asa dengan diri sendiri, kenapa?

Cikgu tu pun cakap, anak dia pun tak suka subjek yang sama. Tapi sebab dia nak jadi doc, dia study jugak jugak. Allah! And guess what, anak cikgu tu dapat A+ for that particular subject. Adoiyai, pengsan! 

Allah tengok usaha, bukan natijah.

Okay Amal. Let's make this clear. Ikut logik akal, you might say that it is waaaayy too impossible for you to get an A for that oh-so-hard subject. But, remember this. As long as you are breathing Allah's air, nothing can bring you down in reaching your dreams for the sake of Allah. Amal, if Allah (and that teacher who barely knows you) have faith in you, why can't you do the same; to have faith in yourself that of all the human beings on Earth, Allah still notices you.

Count your blessings. There is always someone out there who has it worse than you. Stop looking at what you don't have. And start being thankful for what you DO have. What you consider a nightmare would be someone else's dream. -fouseyTUBE
