NWTRE Ep 24: La Tahzan (Don't be Sad)

Sadness... an emotion that surrounds us sometimes. As a normal human being, we're never far from sadness. In life, in love, in every aspect of our everyday life sadness comes knocking on our door at times but my beloved readers... don't be sad.

In sadness you become sick, you become lonely and you feel worthless. Truth fact being, you are surrounded by people who loves you and no one is worthless in this world. We are all sent here with a purpose in life. Remember those days when we were young? So full of life and in my case, chubby cheeks. =P Where have all these memories gone to? Responsibilities? Maturity? Let me tell you all a secret... it's still deep within. You just need to look...

If I were to generalize being sad, the main cause of it would probably be not being able to have something or someone and perhaps losing something or someone close to you. Here's another secret... all of these things in this world don't really belong to us. A teacher of mine, once narrated me a story of a great man. On his death bed, he held out his hands with his palm showing and his son sat beside him and ask, 'dear father, why do you put your hands out as such?' and the great man said, 'this is my last advice to you my dear child. We come into this world with nothing and we leave this world with nothing.'

Dearest readers, don't be sad. As the saying goes, when one door closes, God will at least open a window for us. Put all that energy from being sad to work for something better insyaAllah...

With a smile I bid you all... cheerios,
