What got me through my late teens and twenties & perhaps today......
Hi again people...2 hari lepas, I was going through my old stuff from at least 20 years ago. Old letters, diaries, cards and other junks and between those stuff found three small pieces of papers with my own handwriting. Cantekkkk rupanya tulisan akak masa tuh..eh..eh off topic...
Anyway, it brought back a lot of memories and I remember copying those words from somewhere and made a pact to myself to somehow lead my life according to those 11 points..of course not forgetting Allah s.w.t and his qada' and qadar lah...
Just want to share with you and Aisyah, Imran (and later Khairin and Zaim) if you are reading , it doesn't hurt to learn from this:
1) I can control many of the circumstances in my life, I am an initiator.
2) I create or find choices and options for myself
3) I am in charge of myself and will determine what is best for myself
4) I am entitled to my opinions even if others disagree with them. And I do not have to defend these opinions.
5) I create my own moods. I am in charge of the way I react to the behaviour of others and the events they create. If I am angry, depressed, dissapointed, or hurt, it is because I have created those moods in myself.
6) I reach to others when I need them, I ask for what I want and allow others to give it to me on their own terms. And I create circumstances that can make me happy.
7) Pleasing others has nothing to do with my worth. I am an intrinsically worthy human being. I am willing to work congenially with others but not constantly at my own expense. I will please myself and others if I can, but if they disapprove of my behaviour or choices, that is their problem, not mine.
8) I need to change. I cannot change others but I have choices concerning how I react to their bahaviour. I will exercise my choices. I will not wait for other people to create the conditions that will make me feel secure or happy.
9) I am a survivor. even if I choose to live with others or to love others, I can stand alone. I can take care of myself.
10) I am responsible for determining what part I paly in my own problems and conflicts. I realise that I have impact on other people and that I need to take responsibility for my behaviour in any relationship.
11) I'm entitled to make mistakes - it goes with being human - and I grow by learning from mistakes I make.
Oh how this bring back memories..Somehow it shaped the person I am today. Thank you for coming out with this, whoever you are.. I learnt to make adjustments around issues and learn to love and live with others amid mistakes, boos-boos and kesumbangan yang kadang-kadang masih keluar...tapi whatever said and done..i must add number 12.
12) Count your blessings, look at the best side of things and LIVE LIFE GOOD...
