Many years ago when I was still
in high school, I was very clear about my future planning, what I want to do
later after finishing high school, then after graduating from college I hope to
work at a place close to my hometown, then buy a car, later a house and only
after that I will get married.
Those were my thoughts at that
time. I was so naive to think that life is that simple like driving on a
highway, everything will happen according to the plan, but I was wrong.
Sometimes when we drive on a
highway, something unexpected happen that
leave us no choice but to take another route and to make a small amendment in
our plan. And when we want to make that small amendment, once in a while we had
to make small sacrifice.
For the past three years there are several important events that
had occurred in my life. The truth may be hard to handle, even harder to
accept. But Allah always has better plans for us. If it's meant to be, it will
be.
But I never blame anyone, what
else The Creator Himself for those unexpected things that had happened in my
life. I take it as a challenge and as a motivation for me to be more prepared
in the future.
Yes, this life is full of
ambiguity. We don’t know what will happen in the future. People change. People
live. People die. Things exist. Things disappear. Everything in this world is
in motion. If we sit and do nothing we will be left behind. If we sit and do
nothing we will lost in the valley of ambiguity.
