A young reader of this blog send an email to me and this is her little request:
"Can you please elaborate more on a comfortable zone? does it mean that we should not just satisfy with current situation, have to explore more?
I would like to read your blog about this ..if you are free to write.. thank you ^^ "
I would like to read your blog about this ..if you are free to write.. thank you ^^ "
I thank her for the email, although I don't really understand why she chose me to be referred to such a question. If the email dropped into my mailbox years earlier, I might have quoted some saying about being 'adventurous', and telling her that getting out from your mama's embrace and yada yada, end up arrogantly writing a lengthy notes showing off my belief , but not now -- --
-- now, I'm rather worried and perhaps careful to answer her request.
-- cuz' you could ruin someone's life if that person take your advice in a very superficial way. And I dare not do that.
Going out from a comfortable zone can be extremely disturbing, to the extent of heart-tearing and it can crumble you down into pieces at any time. But there's one thing about getting uncomfortable despite of all the fears and insecurities -- You just need a drive. A strong drive.
A strong, strong drive, called 'Faith'.
We all are children of God, and we all are meant to shine according to God's will. Stayed surrounded by everything that you are familiar to, and stayed pampered by the feeling of secured will not help you to see God's will.
Let's try think in this way: God created us and God created the world far bigger than where we stand, isn't His will that want us to go out and explore, and ultimately found the reason to shine?
.. Yes I know, my 'answer' does not really help to explain what the young reader wants to know -- and in fact, I don't really intend to give any answer or advices. I still have to say, that none of us know what's outside our comfortable zone and none of us wouldn't feel terrified when challenges come -- None. It's you who will decide and chose your own path --
-- so if you're not sure, please stay, until you perceive that ultimate vision, God willing.

yada yada..yebedabedooo...odaiba..kuang3
exactly at the right moment....sob sob sob..rase mcm nk nanges bce note ni.....you dun give answer, but you make that young reader think....so that's a good thing rite....
honestly, memg faith la yg drive utk kite kite kuar dr comfort zone or nk buat ape2 pun lah...n to do that,memg susah....n take a lot of courage..huuuu
Agreed with u with the last phrase.....
"It's YOU who will decide and chose your own path"....
Hopefully...the way that "YOU" choose is the journey that will give YOU "JALAN KE ARAH KEBAIKAN & DIREDHAI"
Yup... Tuhan sentiasa memberi pilihan untuk setiap sesuatu dan menganugerahkan akal fikiran agar pertimbangan dapat dibuat sebelum keputusan diambil... Insyallah its the correct one
Juanne, maybe we've just forgotten an old saying from our secondary's book: "berani kerana benar'? hahaha..
Ijol, sometimes the real path is behind all the obstacles and challenges;
DF, sbb jugak kite ade akal dan perasaan, sometimes we're to weak and too afraid to make sacrifices for that correct wise choice, who knows.. kan?
good one! thanks for sharing... ;-)
yerpp...yg baik dtg dr DIA ..n yg buruk sebenarnye..dr diri kita sendiri...;)
along setuju dengan notes ni n komen ijoi n farid... semuanya berbalik pada kita sendiri.. insyaAllah....
bro...some correction on yr last 4 para - "we are children of god". We are not children of god....we (muslims) are his slave. Kita adalah hambanyer...bukan anak2 nyer. In christianity...they believed we are the children of god..!
Anyway, the notes is brilliant. Bukan senang nak cari syurga...! sebab kalau nak syurga..banyak nikmat kat dunia kena lepas....!!! fikir2kan.....
Noted for the correction. Tq.
good one. hamba yg melakonkan kutipan token of "baik" or "buruk" di dunia ini. Till then it's always a choice of life. Life is lakonan. Karang ada pulak yang marah on the statement ;)
I always use d sentence that we're fated...to have this, to do that and what not. Just recently relized that faith has always been d best fren of effort.
BLIND EFFORT = BLIND FAITH
I am proud of you, bro :)
AhYao ...Kau punya editing makin hebat skrg ni. Aku suka
Salam, uncle Aiman. nanti, lawat2 la blog kami yer...
there's a thin between comfortable and uncomfortable. the way we act will decide which zone we will fall into. So getting our from a comfortable zone can have various meaning to different people.
The young take note for this blog. Finally you free to write about it bro.. :)
