Eleven Hints for Life

1. It hurts to love someone and not be loved in return. But what is more painful is to love someone and never find the courage to let that person know how you feel.

2. A sad thing in life is when you meet someone who means a lot to you, only to find out in the end that it was never meant to be and you just have to let go.

3. The best kind of friend is the kind you can sit on a porch swing with, never say a word, and then walk away feeling like it was the best conversation you've ever had.

4. It's true that we don't know what we've got until we lose it, but it's also true that we don't know what we've been missing until it arrives.

5. It takes only a minute to get a crush on someone, an hour to like someone, and a day to love someone-but it takes a lifetime to forget someone.

6. Don't go for looks, they can deceive. Don't go for wealth, even that fades away. Go for someone who makes you smile because it takes only a smile to make a dark day seem bright.

7. Dream what you want to dream, go where you want to go, be what you want to be. Because you have only one life and one chance to do all the things you want to do.

8. Always put yourself in the other's shoes. If you feel that it hurts you, it probably hurts the person too.

9. A careless word may kindle strife. A cruel word may wreck a life. A timely word may level stress. But a loving word may heal and bless.

10. The happiest of people don't necessarily have the best of everything they just make the most of everything that comes along their way.

11. Love begins with a smile, grows with a kiss, ends with a tear. When you were born, you were crying and everyone around you was smiling. Live your life so that when you die, you're the one smiling and everyone around you is crying.

D.O.N.T !

• Live your life only to make others happy
• Keep doing a job that you hate
• Be afraid of taking chances
• Pretend to be someone else
• Be insecure about your looks and abilities
• Let others bring you down
• Not travel to places you've never been before
• Not let your loved ones know how much you love 'em
• Not try to inspire others in a positive way
• Not cherish the things in life that makes you happy, even the tiniest thing

There are going to be days when you won't have the energy or drive to get out of bed. There are going to be days when you're going to give up -- give up on love, life or work. The thing is, you're not allowed to give up. You were given a life and you're supposed to live it.The truth is seventy or eighty years that your given isn't long enough to do things you're supposed to do.Sure, you're gonna hit a few bumps along the way, but you've got to pick yourself up and move on.Life is unpredictable and things might not always work out the way you want them to, but that's no reason to give up. You're for a reason and someday when you're not expecting it, you're going to discover your reason for being here.

And when that does happen, your life will never be the same again.

“Be soft. Do not let the world make you hard. Do not let pain make you hate. Do not let the bitterness steal your sweetness. Take pride that even though the rest of the world may disagree, you still believe it to be a beautiful place.” 

- Kurt Vonnegut

One day you'll meet a guy.
And ultimately, he's going to find out.
How you chew, how you sip, how you dance, how you smell at every point in the day.
How your face looks underneath all your make up.
How you love chocolate,
how you can be hyper at times,
how certain games and shows make you really happy.
How cranky you can get when you're tired,
how you think you look bad in all your photos.
He's going to know everything about you.
And you know what?
He's still going to love you.

Quote of The Day

“Your time is limited, so don’t waste it living someone else’s life. Don’t be trapped by dogma – which is living with the results of other people’s thinking. Don’t let the noise of other’s opinions drown out your own inner voice. And most important, have the courage to follow your heart and intuition. They somehow already know what you truly want to become. Everything else is secondary.”


- Steve Jobs

Untuk Sahabat

Sahabat...... kudengar bahwa engkau sedang diuji-Nya. Apa yang dapat kuperbuat selain hanya mengirimkan bait2 ayat ini. Pastilah sudah sering kau dengar berita tentang ujian yang akan menambah keimanan. Bagaimana dengan kabarmu hari ini? Apakah berita tentang hal itu juga dapat kau rasakan?

“Apakah manusia itu mengira bahwa mereka dibiarkan saja mengatakan; “Kami telah beriman,” sedangkan mereka tidak diuji? Dan sesungguhnya kami telah menguji orang-orang yang sebelum mereka, maka sesungguhnya Allah mengetahui orang-orang yang benar dan sesungguhnya Dia mengetahui orang-orang yang dusta.” -Surat Al-Ankabut ayat 2-3

Manusia mungkin sering bertanya, kenapa harus aku yang menjalani masalah berat ini? Kenapa aku tidak bisa seperti orang lain, yang selalu terlihat bahagia? Ketahuilah, sahabat, bahwa Allah Maha Mengetahui yang terbaik bagi dirimu dan orang lain.

“Boleh jadi kamu membenci sesuatu padahal ia amat baik bagimu, dan boleh jadi pula kamu menyukai sesuatu, padahal ia amat buruk bagimu, Allah mengetahui sedang kamu tidak mengetahui.” -Surat Al-Baqarah ayat 216

Manusia memang mudah dirundung keluh kesah, dan itu harus disadari datangnya dari setan. Sesungguhnya, bila hati ini penuh keyakinan bahwa Allah akan mengujinya sesuai kadar kemampuannya, maka hatinya akan tenang.

Allah tidak membebani seseorang itu melainkan sesuai dengan kesanggupannya.” -Surat Al-Baqarah ayat 286

Percayalah sahabat, kalau kamu beriman, maka kamu memiliki derajat yang paling tinggi, bahkan dibandingkan manusia-manusia yang kamu pikir tidak sedang Allah uji, jika mereka tidak beriman. Untuk itu, kuatkan hatimu dalam menghadapi ujian ini :)

“Janganlah kamu bersikap lemah, dan janganlah pula kamu bersedih hati, padahal kamulah orang-orang yang paling tinggi derajatnya, jika kamu orang-orang yang beriman.” - Surat Al-Imran ayat 139

Caranya, agar kau kuat menghadapinya, bersabarlah. Dan bersabar itu tidak hanya cukup sekali, tapi terus menerus, tanpa akhir, hingga Allah akhirnya memenangkanmu atas ujian yang berat ini.

“Wahai orang-orang yang beriman! Bersabarlah kamu (menghadapi segala kesukaran dalam mengerjakan perkara-perkara yang berkebajikan) , dan kuatkanlah kesabaran kamu lebih daripada kesabaran musuh, di medan perjuangan), dan bersedialah (dengan kekuatan pertahanan di daerah-daerah sempadan) serta bertaqwalah kamu kepada Allah supaya, kamu berjaya (mencapai kemenangan).” -Surat Al-Imran ayat 200

Sudah banyak kita dengar bahwa sabar dan sholat adalah penolong kita dalam menghadapi berbagai ujian. Jadikanlah momen ujian kali ini pembukti apa yang telah Allah janjikan itu. Khusyuklah dalam shalat, dan rasakanlah nikmatnya ujian ini dengan kekhusyukan yang engkau dapatkan. Bahkan mungkin sulit engkau dapatkan jika engkau tidak diuji seperti ini.

“Dan mintalah pertolongan (kepada Allah) dengan jalan sabar dan mengerjakan sembahyang; dan sesungguhnya sembahyang itu amatlah berat kecuali kepada orang-orang yang khusyuk” -Surat Al-Baqarah ayat 45

Insya Allah…  Semua hal yang kau lalui dengan sabar tadi, bukanlah hal yang sia-sia. Surga yang indah adalah hadiah tertinggi bagi orang-orang yang sabar dalam ujian.

“Sesungguhnya Allah telah membeli dari orang-orang mu’min, diri, harta mereka dengan memberikan syurga utk mereka… -Surat At-Taubah ayat 111

Untuk itu, Sahabat…. Hanya pada Allah sajalah hendaknya kita berharap.

“Cukuplah Allah bagiku, tidak ada Tuhan selain dariNya. Hanya kepadaNya aku bertawakkal.” -Surat At-Taubah ayat 129

Dan jangan pernah berputus asa dalam memohon rahmat-Nya.

“… ..dan janganlah kamu berputus asa dari rahmat Allah. Sesungguhnya tiada berputus asa dari rahmat Allah melainkan kaum yg kafir.” -Surat Yusuf ayat 12

Teriring sayang dan cinta untukmu, sahabat… Semoga Allah memuliakanmu dengan ujian ini. Amin…
