I
had my first lecturing today, and here's what I got.
Do
you know what the meaning of your name is? You might think of it as unimportant
thing to do. What's in a name? Who cares? Hey, don't get it wrong! A name is a
prayer, a hope. You better know it, unless you don't know yourself.
Let
me tell you my name's meaning. Nala Mazia. It was taken from Arabic. Nala means
giving. Mazia means speciality. So, my full name means the one who's given
speciality. It's short, and simple. Nevertheless, it has an incredible meaning.
Incredible, I say, as it scopes large sense. Like everything good is there. My
name's meaning is complete. Special has no boundaries, right? Special can be
meant anything.
Does
it affect me? Yes. I'd say it clearly. YES. The positive power hidden in my
name has been working. I'm special. At least to my parents, and family.
When I got every little fortune, I know it was due to a lot of factors,
including my name. Because, once more, it's a prayer. The thing is, my name has
been taking part in my life. Know your name's meaning, and feel it's working.
Despite
my pride, I used to be unthankful of having such a name. But it was years ago,
when I was a kindergarten student. That time, I hate my short name. My friends
had at least three words for their name, but I got only two. Mine was the
shortest. Moreover, it didn't sound beautiful to my little ears. I cried,
wanted my name to be changed.
As
I grow up, and I can actually think, I realized how great my name is. My
parents picked it for a good reason. They want me to be granted a speciality;
they want me to be special. Then I can see it works. I will be even more
special than I am today. Now, my name sounds very beautiful for me, since I
know the great meaning behind. Yes, I'm thankful for having this beautiful
name. Disliking my name was just a stupid thought of toddler me. I'm proud to
be named Nala Mazia.
What about you? Find out your name's meaning now, and be grateful for having a beautiful name! :)
Hey! It's been so long that I haven't posted here. So, I'll share my last artwork in high school. Just a little story, that this year is my last year being a student in SMA 1 Magelang (commonly known as Gladiool High School). I'll graduate in about two months from now, insyaallah :)
The following painting is to accomplish final practice exam. I drew Elizabeth Tower (known as Big Ben), with UK flag as the background. Of course all in pink shades :D

| Elizabeth Tower in pink. Put a penny on! |
Sorry if I messed the real object, I'm not good in drawing. I put the caption "Put a penny on!" in the catalogue. Yes, we did a kind of art exhibition in class.
Oh, and I'm going to take School Exam and. National Exam. May Allah bless me :)
So, see you after exam!
We
were created by The One Source, to experience the nature of unity. According to
the experts, the ONE source created everything in pairs, or TWO. For example,
good and bad, true and false, and many more. So is everything in us.
There
are conflicts between what we expect, and what we focus so often. Most people
want something, but accompanied by complains. Without realizing it, they are
actually focused on their complaints.
Allah
always grants everyone's prayer, and the granted one is the prayer which is in
our hearts. It's what we were focused on, not what's said in the mouth. So, if
there's a conflict between what's said and what's in our hearts, the one in the
heart will be granted. It's because we get what's being focused, not the one
being thought.
Unite
anything we expect and focus. For that reason, we need to reset our hearts to
be sincere. Synchronize the heart and the wishes of flustered mind. The point
is, we have to be sincere and surrender to Allah. Consequently, there won't be
hesitation but unity in our hearts. Rasulullah SAW said, "Allah doesn't
grant prayer from inattentive and doubtful heart."
Now,
we know that before we can make the heart and mind gets the deal, we will only
be powerless. In other words, before the conviction among the mind, feeling,
and action are synchronized, the success will be hard to reach. So, unite the
mind and feeling FROM NOW ON! :)
