Salam Tahun Baru Hijrah - A blessed new year, insyaAllah..
1st day of the new Islamic calendar year. 1st day of the month of Muharam.
Alhamdulillah, sempat baca doa awal dan akhir tahun semalam. So, I thought I won't wait till January to make some new resolutions. New year came early for us, so why not?
Let's see... what resolutions shall I make.
1. Be kinder, have kind thoughts of people.
More often than notwe have, I have pre-conceived notions of people. Dia ni nampak sombong, tak mau tegur..dia tu poyo, yang tu kerek, that one too quiet, this one too noisy..hahahah. I am a kind person, but I aspire to be kinder this year. I have always practiced good thoughts of people, even if some of the things people do are less than kind, or almost spiteful. I just hope to be given the strength to be even kinder to them.
2. Give more often.
Today I started by donating. No details necessary here. I just want to give more often, whatever I can afford, maybe monetary, some days materials, other days..my time and also, my energy.
3. Solah on time, or earlier.
Put away that book, put down the phone, shut down twitter, get off facebook, the work can wait...just be there early.
4. Revisiting the Quran.In bite size, daily. Read the tafseer.
5. Not to be too quick to speak my mind, lest I may be misunderstood. I am officially too old to handle being misunderstood.
6. Say NO more often so I don't end up biting off more than I could chew. Say NO to projects I am not passionate about, say NO to stuff that needs more energy than I can give, say NO just so I don't have to say YES for the sake of saying YES.
7. See Mak as often as I could, as often as possible, before she forgets my name.
Seven is my favourite number. Seven should be enough to start off this new year, for old resolutions made in January 2014 is an on-going effort.
