To be happy and be prepared for tomorrow.......

  Hi everyone....

While reading this article try to listen to this song " Don't worry be happy" by Bobby Mc Ferin

Are you feeling stressed and upset? If so, you are worrying about tomorrow. Events that have already occurred may cause you regret, but they only appear to cause worry. If you just lost your job, you are not worrying about losing your job - that already happened.You are worrying about paying your bills and finding a new job. Those are worries about tomorrow.


Worrying is just a natural human emotion, and everyone worries, right? Actually not. Worry is a bad habit that most people acquire, and like all habits, can be broken.

When you worry about what may or may not occur in the future, you miss the joy that is available today - each and every day. So is the answer to focus only on today, and let tomorrow take care of itself? That sounds good - until tomorrow arrives and you are not prepared.

It's a paradox. How does one balance living in the now with preparing responsibly for the future? The key to this dilemma lies in the distinction between "worrying about the future," and "preparing for the future." The two concepts are not at all the same.

There are two aspects to preparing for the future. The one that is more familiar to most people is planning. You know the mortgage is due next week so you save the money - You know you want to fit into your clothes tomorrow, so you forgo that second helping. Planning for the future is fully compatible with living joyfully today.

The other aspect of preparing for the future is accepting that things will probably not turn out the way you plan. Creating this acceptance of life's uncertainties is much more challenging than formulating and following through on plans.

The source of most worry is a lack of acceptance of the uncertainties of the future. When one fully lives a life of acceptance, life's vagaries are not merely tolerated, but are enjoyed because they are life's gifts. If one is religiously inclined, whatever life delivers is a gift from the Creator. If one holds other beliefs, then whatever happens is just what there is to work with - so why not enjoy it.

The recipe for a joyful life is planning and preparing for the future, while simultaneously accepting that you hold virtually no control over future events. By placing no demands on the future, you can enjoy whatever it brings.....

THE ROSE WITHIN-INSPIRING LOVE STORY

A certain man planted a rose and watered it faithfully and before it blossomed, he examined it.
He saw the bud that would soon blossom, but noticed thorns upon the stem and he thought, "How can any beautiful flower come from a plant burdened with so many sharp thorns? Saddened by this thought, he neglected to water the rose, and just before it was ready to bloom... it died. 

So it is with many people. Within every soul there is a rose. The God-like qualities planted in us at birth, grow amid the thorns of our faults. Many of us look at ourselves and see only the thorns, the defects. 

We despair, thinking that nothing good can possibly come from us. We neglect to water the good within us, and eventually it dies. We never realize our potential.
Some people do not see the rose within themselves; someone else must show it to them. One of the greatest gifts a person can possess is to be able to reach past the thorns of another, and find the rose within them. 

This is one of the characteristic of love... to look at a person, know their true faults and accepting that person into your life... all the while recognizing the nobility in their soul. Help others to realize they can overcome their faults. If we show them the "rose" within themselves, they will conquer their thorns. Only then will they blossom many times over.

My story for the nite....

have a peaceful nite...

& good nite....

Hikmah melihat orang yang kita sayang pada saat dia tidur...

Renungkan/lihatlah betapa sayangnya kita pada mereka...

Pernahkah anda menatap orang-orang yang anda sayang saat mereka sedang
tidur? Kalau belum, cubalah sekali saja menatap mereka saat sedang
tidur.

Saat itu yang tampak adalah ekspresi paling wajar dan paling jujur dari
seseorang.

Seorang artis yang ketika di panggung begitu cantik dan gemerlap pun
akan tampak polos dan jauh berbeza jika ia sedang tidur.

Orang paling kejam di dunia pun jika ia sudah tidur tak akan tampak
wajah bengisnya.

Perhatikanlah ayah anda saat beliau sedang tidur. Sedarilah, betapa
badan yang dulu kuat dan gagah itu kini semakin tua dan lemah, betapa
rambut-rambut putih mulai menghiasi kepalanya, betapa kerut merut mulai
terpahat di wajahnya. Orang inilah yang tiap hari bekerja keras untuk
kesejahteraan kita, anak-anaknya. Orang inilah, rela melakukan apa saja
asal perut kita kenyang dan pendidikan kita lancar.

Sekarang, beralihlah. ... Lihatlah ibu anda... . Hmm... kulitnya mulai
keriput dan tangan yang dulu halus membelai- belai tubuh bayi kita itu
kini kasar kerana menempuhi kehidupan yang mencabar demi kita. Orang
inilah yang tiap hari menguruskan keperluan kita. Orang inilah yang
paling rajin mengingatkan dan membebeli kita semata- mata kerana rasa
kasih dan sayang, dan sayangnya, itu sering kita salah ertikan.

Cubalah menatap wajah orang-orang yang kita cintai..sayangi itu... Ayah,
Ibu, Suami, Isteri, Kakak, Adik, Anak, Sahabat, Semuanya...

Rasakanlah sensasi yang timbul sesudahnya. Rasakanlah energi cinta yang
mengalir perlahan-lahan saat menatap wajah mereka yang terlelap itu.

Rasakanlah getaran cinta yang mengalir deras ketika mengingat betapa
banyaknya pengorbanan yang telah dilakukan orang-orang itu untuk
kebahagiaan anda. Pengorbanan yang kadang-kadang tertutupi oleh salah
faham kecil yang entah kenapa selalu saja nampak besar.

Secara ajaib Tuhan mengatur agar pengorbanan itu akan tampak lagi
melalui wajah-wajah jujur mereka saat sedang tidur. Pengorbanan yang
kadang melelahkan serta memenatkan mereka namun enggan mereka ungkapkan.
Dan ekspresi wajah ketika tidur pun membantu untuk mengungkap segalanya.
Tanpa kata, tanpa suara dia berkata... "betapa lelahnya..penatnya aku
hari ini". Dan penyebab lelah dan penat itu? Untuk siapa dia berpenat
lelah Tak lain adalah KITA... ..

Suami yang bekerja keras mencari nafkah, isteri yang bekerja keras
mengurus dan mendidik anak, juga rumah. Kakak, adik, anak, dan sahabat
yang telah menemani hari-hari suka dan duka bersama kita.

Resapilah kenangan-kenangan manis dan pahit yang pernah terjadi dengan
menatap wajah-wajah mereka. Rasakanlah betapa kebahagiaan dan rasa
terharu seketika menerpa jika mengingat itu semua.

Bayangkanlah apa yang akan terjadi jika esok mereka "orang-orang
terkasih itu" tak lagi membuka matanya, untuk selamanya ... "

IF I HAD MY LIFE TO LIVE OVER

I would have gone to bed when I was sick instead of pretending the earth would go into a holding pattern if I weren't there for the day.   I would have burned the pink candle sculpted like a rose before it melted in storage. I would have talked less and listened more. I would have invited friends over to dinner even if the carpet was stained or the sofa faded. I would have eaten the popcorn in the 'good' living room and worried much less about the dirt when someone wanted to light a fire in the fireplace. I would have taken the time to listen to my grandfather ramble about his youth. I would never have insisted the car windows be rolled up on a summer day because my hair had just been teased and sprayed. I would have sat on the lawn with my children and not worried about grass stains. I would have cried and laughed less while watching television and more while watching life. I would never have bought anything just because it was practical, wouldn't show soil, or was guaranteed to last a lifetime. Instead of wishing away nine months of pregnancy, I'd have cherished every moment and realized that the wonderment growing inside me was the only chance in life to assist God in a miracle. When my kids kissed me impetuously, I would never have said, "Later. Now go get washed up for dinner." There would have been more "I love you's." More "I'm sorry's." But mostly, given another shot at life, I would seize every minute, look at it and really see it , live it and never give it back. MaMaZuE

Hari ini aku.....

Hari ini, kena g rumah boss no.1 Sato' Mariana Yahya sbb ada majlis hari jadi anak dia, Julian Eskandar...malam tadi dok sibuk buat apple crumble untuk majlis ni...aduiii....takut pulak feedback and komen  dari dia nanti...so far, she likes it tapi x tau lah kali ni....beriya-iya mengorder nya dari aku....risau gak ni...


Majlis bermula jam 12.30 tgh hari dengan makanan tengah hari yang enak....nasi pelangi, lauk opor daging, ayam masak merah, ayam bbq,puding raja and many other sweeties for the kids...well, most of the guests were from the High Courts....her son's teachers and friends...


Most of the kids would be very happy coz the swimming pool are for them to have fun....anak-anak i x dapat pergi coz 2 of them are schooling sbb hari ini hari Ahad..so, i bawak lah anak angkat perempuan i, Rina.....semua dok wondering...who is this girl that i brought along...coz most of them knows yang i ni x de anak pompuan....menantu lah...calon menantu....senang cerita..ha ha ha...well, just kidding!!!


Soon after, we had finished the appetizing lunch and other mothers were so busy with their children at the pool, kita orang pun plan balik jer lah...anyway, rina was not that well coz of her sudden monthly pain..so, that could be a good excuse to leave early.....


After meeting dato' and told her my reason of "cabut awal", she was quite reluctant to let me go but i think it would be unfair to rina...so, we decided to leave jugak...the party was actually meant for the kids and memang dia orang yang datang membawa anak-anak akan terperangkap and would have to stay sampai petang....nasib lah...


By 2.30 pm, i dah sampai kemaman....best betul....sempat lah take a short nap...and rest for the evening....itulah cerita aku untuk hari ini...

Ini lah sahaja gambar-gambar yang dapat dirakamkan di rumah dato'.....x sempat nak ambik gambar-gambar rumah dia yang menarik ala-ala bali gitu....banyak ruang-ruang yang x sempat untuk diterokai....he he he...

happy birthday Julian.....

LIFE IS A THEATRE

Invite Your Audience Carefully

Not everyone is healthy enough to have a front row seat in our lives.
There are some people in your life that need to be loved from a DISTANCE.
It's amazing what you can accomplish when you let go of, or at least
minimize your time with, draining, negative, incompatible,
not-going-anywhere relationships/friendships.
Observe the relationships around you. Pay attention.
Which ones lift and which ones lean?
Which ones encourage and which ones discourage?
Which ones are on a path of growth uphill and which ones are going downhill?
When you leave certain people do you feel better or feel worse?
Which ones always have drama or don't really understand, know or appreciate you?
The more you seek quality, respect, growth, peace of mind, love and truth around you...the easier it will become for you to decide who gets to sit in the front row and who should be moved to the balcony of Your Life.
"If you cannot change the people around you, CHANGE the people you are around."
Remember that the people we hang with will have an impact on both our lives and our income. And so we must be careful to choose the people we hang out with, as well as the information with which we feed our minds.
We should not share our dreams with negative people, Nor feed our dreams with negative thoughts.
It's your choice and your life..... It's up to you who and what you let in it......

So, do make a very good choice

as not to have regrets in the future...

 

the choice is within your heart and hands...

 

Life is always a matter of choice. As a matter of fact, all of us have different views in life. You might feel that life is just one damned thing after another. On the other hand, some might believe that life is worth living. Whatever it is, you are the one who decides your life…happy or sad, poor or rich, good or bad… The choice is in your hand. So, what is your choice?

 

SO DON'T EVER BLAME OTHERS FOR YOUR MISFORTUNES!!!

Thank You, Dear Allah.....

THANK YOU ALLAH.....

We should be grateful to Allah for His blessing and His kindness that we are still around.

Even though I clutch my blanket and growl when the alarm rings,thank you, Allah, that I can hear. There are many who are deaf.

Even though I keep my eyes closed against the morning light as long as possible, thank you, Allah, that I can see. Many are blind.

Even though I huddle in my bed and put off rising, thank you Allah,that I have the strength to rise. There are many who are bedridden.

Even though the first hour of my day is hectic, when socks are lost, toast is burned and tempers are short, my children are so loud, thank you, Allah,for my family. There are many who are lonely.

Even though our breakfast table never looks like the pictures in magazines and the menu is at times balanced, thank you, Allah, for the food we have. There are many who are hungry.

Even though the routine of my job is often monotonous, thank you, Allah, for the opportunity to work. There are many who have no job.

Even though I grumble and bemoan my fate from day to day and wish my circumstances were not so modest, thank you, Allah for life.

If we can pass this on to most people we know, it might help a bit to make this world a better place to live in, right?

THANK YOU DEAR ALLAH....

"YA ALLAH, KU POHON RAHMAT DARIPADA MU.. LINDUNGILAH AKU DARI SIKSAAN API NERAKA"

Hope we'll find each other tomorrow...

....MaMaZue....
