APAKAH 'SUCCESS' SEBENARNYA??
Everyone seems to strive to be ‘successful’ in life. We all look to apply the ‘Law of Attraction’ to gain ‘success’.
But what is ‘success’? What makes you successful, and what makes you a ‘failure’?
To answer this question, let’s first take a look at our world. Our societies are completely focused on our five senses of seeing, hearing, tasting, touching and smelling. Our five senses are constantly stimulated. They are enticed and exploited all the time.
Sesetengah orang memandang, mempunyai handphone mahal, pakaian berjenama, laptop teringan atas muka bumi, purse Sentini,Bonia atau wallet Crocodile, mempunyai pengaruh dan jawatan besar - sebagai tanda success dan happiness..Itu pandangan sebahagian kita.What it illustrates is the relativity of ‘status’ and ‘success’. What one person would consider being dignified, could be considered by the next person as pathetic.
Like I said, the trap is not with material objects themselves. These are just frequency patterns anyway. The problem comes when we see those objects as the ultimate goals and the very symbols of success that confirm whether we ‘made it’ in life or not.
It is for this reason that many people look to others to confirm to themselves if they are ‘doing well’ or if they are ‘successful’. Bila kita tidak berjaya memiliki sepertimana tuntutan dan impian kita,sepertimana anggapan /persepsi orang kepada kita,we are often considered as a ‘failure’, and often consider yourself as such.
So is this the kind of ‘success’ you are looking for?
Apa respon anda, bila saya katakan ‘success’ ialah tentang ‘happiness’’?
After all, why would you want a lot of money, or a big house, or a big car? Why would you want others to approve of you? In the end it all comes down to a desire for a sense of security and happiness, and being able to live life on your own terms. The quest ends when you’re happy and fulfilled.
But when are you happy and fulfilled?
Jangan kata saya salah,mungkin?Memang tidak salahnya apabila bila diri kita punyai wang banyak, ada pengaruh, ada nama dalam posisi. These are all thought fields and are just experience. The problem is that so many people get absorbed in pursuing the material ‘dream’ that they forget about why they are doing that in the first place.Kita memang mudah lupa pada niat dan focus asal, mudah tergelincir.. sekadar pandangan..
John Harricharan who said this:
“Most people are so busy trying to make a living, they forget to make a life.”
He’s right. Most people are ‘human doings’ instead of ‘human beings’.
TIPS MENDAPAT JIWA YANG TENANG :
1)Membaca dan mendengarkan al-Quran
Suatu ketika seseorang datang kepada Ibnu Mas’ud, salah seorang sahabat utama Rasulullah. Ia mengeluh, “Wahai Ibnu Mas’ud, nasihatilah aku dan berilah obat bagi jiwaku yang gelisah ini. Hari-hariku penuh dengan perasaan tak tenteram, jiwaku gelisah, dan pikiranku kusut. Makan tak enak, tidur pun tak nyenyak," kata orang tersebut.
Ibnu Mas’ud menjawab, ”Kalau penyakit itu yang menimpamu, maka bawalah hatimu mengunjungi tiga tempat. Pertama, tempat orang membaca al-Quran. Engkau baca al-Quran atau engkau dengar baik-baik orang yang membacanya. Kedua, engkau pergi ke majelis pengajian yang mengingatkan hatimu kepada Allah. Ketiga, engkau cari waktu dan tempat yang sunyi, di sana engkau berkhalwat mengabdi kepada Allah. Nasihat sahabat Nabi itu segera dilaksanakan orang tersebut. Sesampainya di rumah, segera ia berwudhu kemudian diambilnya Al-quran dan dibacanya dengan khusyuk. Selesai membaca, ia segera dapati hatinya memperoleh ketenteraman, dan jiwanya pun tenang. Pikirannya segar kembali, hidupnya terasa bergairah kembali. Padahal, ia baru melaksanakan satu dari tiga nasihat yang disampaikan sahabat Rasulullah saw tersebut.
2)Selalu berpikir positf
Persepsi negatif hanya merosakkan diri.Jadi terus positif dan optimis pada setipa ketentuanNYA.Bukankah selepas kesusahan itu ada kemudahan?Setiap kita diberikan oleh Allah berbagai kelebihan. Change your mind (-ve >> +ve). Change!! Sebarkan senyuman..dan jiwa menjadi semangat kembali. =)
My dear friends,
A sense of security, self-esteem and ‘success’ is found within yourself, not outside.
It is then that you will start to live life, instead of life living you.
So what is ‘success’?
Success, my friend, is what you define it to be.
Now go manifest your success, whatever that is for you!
AlhamduliLLAH..Saya sudah jumpa kebahagiaan saya. Kegembiraan saya..TERIMA KASIH YA ALLAH.. atas kurniaan nikmatMU..
Maka terus hidup proaktif untuk akhirat yang cemerlang!!!
