Who plan our life? Yes, we are! Indeed, we've lots of dreams to achieve, thus we arrange and plan our own journey. The path that we choose, full of hope, in which we wish it will be colorful exactly like we pattern it. But, things that we plan doesn't mean it will happen according to what we wish for. In fact, the decision is not in our hands. It's beyond our power because Allah is the Ultimate Decision Maker. And that is what we called it as FATE.
We did upset if the fate doesn't take our side. However, have we realized that if we got what we wished before will make us happy? To some extent, yes! We might be happy. But it won't be long. Maybe? Why? Who knows?
We, actually, don't have to be upset if the path that we chose doesn't go as what we plan. Why? Because something that happens might be the best for us even we don't like it. That's HIS promise!! Journey that we've chosen, just take it as a beautiful experience in your life. The experience that makes you become stronger than the 'old' you. The experience that born the 'new' you. In fact, there'll be ups and downs in your life but those will make your world become more beautiful.
At least, it shows that you are brave enough to take risk in your life. Every opportunity that you have taken means that you are brave to face it even you don't even know either you succeed or fail. But still, you wouldn't let it go. You have tried your best to gain it. And you know what? You will be satisfied of what you have done because you've given all sweats into it even it's not yours till the end.
Why? Because you deserve better than that. That's why don't be sad for everything that's not ours. Allah's plan is the best plan and the best thing ever happen to you. Therefore, be grateful for what you got. Don't give up. Accept the qada' & qadar. Either it's a "nikmat" or a "test". Just be a grateful vicegerent!
You wouldn't see the "hikmah" behind it until that "day" comes to you. And believe me, when the time comes, you'll realize the "hikmah" by yourself...
