Seorang penyair Farsi pernah bermadah:

‘ Tidak semestinya dengan memandang (wajah) sahaja cinta terbentuk. Kadangkala khazanah cinta terbentuk dengan perkataan.’

Sebagaimana lahirnya cinta kita kepada Allah swt dan Rasulullah saw.
Kisah cinta Rabiatul Adawiyah kepada Rabbnya, menolak pinangan kerana cintanya hanyalah untuk YANG SATU...dan cintanya Bilal bin Rabbah kepada Rasulullah saw. Wafatnya Baginda, Bilal tidak lagi dapat melaungkan ‘azan kerana terlalu sedih mengingati Baginda. Kisah cinta sejati yang lahirnya dari sekeping daging yang suci, itulah............HATI........yang banyak berkata-kata...

What Bridget Menezes says.....


On keeping to our resolutions.....

“  With the start of the new year, it is time again for resolutions.  How many of us genuinely keep our  resolutions? 
For me, it is either ever or never.  Some say that  they will do it tomorrow.  But that tomorrow may never come.
Today we can’t trust our bodies.  There is a discipline for everything, but no discipline for death. 
Hold that determined thought - that i have to do it; do or die.  Whatever you have to do it today, do it now.  It is now or never.
If you fail, start again.  Don’t look at failure as a permanent defeat, but consider it as a pause.
A pause is part of the journey of life which helps us to gather energy and move on.
Determination is being focused, not scattered; never allowing laziness or excuses to enter. Ask yourself: “ Why am I here? What do I want out of life?
Tell yourself: “ I want to lead a  purposeful life and I am prepared to face difficulties.”
It is good not to make too many pledges.  You will not remember them, much less put them into practice.  Just one or two will do and stick to them.  Never compromise your discipline because of someone.
Determination does not bring success instantly but with patience and faith, it will happen.
To promise means to bring benefit to the self and others.  With determination, there is no termination.  It is translating challenges into opportunities.
A Very Happy and Blesses New Year to all my friends “.
Yes I remembered, year in and year out I made resolutions, countless of them.  I  would jot them in my diary but actually it was something that I could  hardly keep.  Easier said than done eh............
