Who Is The Person That Truly Inspired You?

 In The Name of Allah, The Most Merciful and The Most Gracious

Salam and Hi Peeps!

    My new semester just start a few day ago and I think many things had happened during past days. So as usual, the first week is the introduction and ice breaking session. Compared to last semester, I think this semester like mostly all my lectures doing the ice breaking which get to know the student in details like what the things that people don't know about you (I also want to share about this but nevermind) and the latest now, just a few minutes ago, the lecture asked about inspiration. I found this question a bit hard for me. Looking at most of my classmates would say their inspiration is their parents but for me, I have different perception of inspiration and the person inspired. Which that cause me quite afraid to admit that actually I don't have inspiration.

    In my perception, everyone that I met, I knew or even the Korean actor like Park Bo Gum are my inspiration but they are not truly the one who inspired me. I used to have inspired someone before and what I realised is myself tend to copy exactly what did that person do and I found that is not good for me. Just like I am torturing myself to be a copy version of that person. Soon I realised, why not I just being myself. Everyone has their own way to success and so do I. Our journey is different and our story is also different. Then why not I create my own way instead of following others? That is what in my mind. But please noted that, if you have a person that inspired you, that's good. However, this is not applicable to me. I am really honest with myself.

    So when I saw that question from the slide, the first word pop from my mouth is 'none'. I also had scrolling Aisyah Syakirah's instagram to said that she is my inspiration. The I looked at my classmates answers saying that it is their parents. I also had jot the note that my parent as my inspiration but guys, as I said before, I cannot lie to myself. When it comes to my turn, I honestly speaking that I am my inspiration eventhough I never received 4 flat, I just a bachelor degree student, I just came from ordinary family and I don't receive any noble award yet. Why? Because I believe in myself, because I want to be success with my own may. Slowly but surely. I think I have wrote this sentence thousand times in my blog; no matter if you went to lot of motivational talks, asking for tips from a very rich millionaire entrepreneur, if yourself didn't want to make a move, you won't move. That is the power of yourself because whatever you are facing, yourself is there.

    A flashback. When I was in semester 1 of my diploma study, I asked one of the sister, why do we need to do everything for Allah? Why is the niat, intention that we do must for Allah. She answered with a hadith or maybe a Surah ( I'm sorry, I already forgot it), the fitrah of human is relying. For instance, I want to score for this subject because my mother promise to give a car. But then, when you already achieve that, or if your mother die, will you have an ability to continue the journey? Or else you may find another reason to keep you strong. That is why. Allah, the Lord is permanent. He will always there for us. With same example, as Allah never die, your intention and strength to continue the study or score in that subject will always there. So set up your intention because when the things goes in wrong way, you can always go back, referring to your true intention.

    I think I'm a bit running from topic. Sorry guys. One more thing I would like to add is be kind to everyone. There is one time I'm scrolling Twitter and I saw a tweet said, ' To be kind in nowadays is irrelevant'. That make me sad. Be kind because you don't know other struggles and yet you don't even know what lies in their heart. So how could you easily judge them? However, be kind but with limitation. That is the point. Listening to my classmates stories has make me think of this matter. Sometimes the brighter smile holds the bitter life (idk either this sentence is write or wrong). I prayed that may whatever that occur to you, you will hold yourself firmly and may Allah ease our life journey.

    Our Lord is the only one who knows us the best because He is our creature. Believe in Him, talk to Him and He always listened to you. Because He is The Most Merciful and The Most Gracious. With that I ended my post.

Have a great day ahead!
