Just Tryna Be Better ;)

Everyone wants to be better. So do I. But, I realize that I'm still far from what ones expect me to be. There are times when I'm awake, and determine not to make the same mistakes. Well, minutes later, I do things like one of One Direction's songs --> we'll play, play, play all the same old games, and we wait, wait, wait for the end to change, and we take, take, take it for granted that we'll be the same, but we're making all the same mistakes.

Oh, yeah... and by the way, I have attended some spiritual building and training. The result? I'm back to my sinful self. Astaghfirullah... I'm pretty sure, there are a lot of people out there who undergo the same thing as me.

As one of my effort to be better, I post these quotes. I love these quotes, FYI. Read them, and get influenced!

Piece of Surah Al Kahf, taken by Nala Mazia

“Knock, And He'll open the door. Vanish, And He'll make you shine like the sun. Fall, And He'll raise you to the heavens. Become nothing, And He'll turn you into everything.” ― Rumi

"... everything that God made valuable in the world is covered and hard to get to. Where do you find diamonds? Deep down in the ground, covered and protected. Where do you find pearls? Deep down at the bottom of the ocean, covered up and protected in a beautiful shell. Where do you find gold? Way down in the mine, covered over with layers and layers of rock. You've got to work hard to get to them. Your body is sacred. You're far more precious than diamonds and pearls, and you should be covered too." ―Muhammad Ali's advice to his daughters when they were wearing clothes that were not modest 

“The world is 3 days: As for yesterday, it has vanished along with all that was in it. As for tomorrow, you may never see it. As for today, it is yours, so work on it.” 
― Hasan Al Basri

"Only Allah can turn a mess into a message, a test into a testimony, a trial into a triumph, a victim into a victory."

"Oh, Allah, when I lose my hopes and plans, help me remember that Your love for me is greater than my disappointments, and Your plans for me are better than my dreams."  ― Ali r.a.

"Leave everything in God's hand, so that you may see God's hand in everything." 

Hope we can be the best people :)
