The True Meaning of Focus

My brother, for reaching success we need focus. But many people get wrongness in understanding of focus. If we have dream they suggest us to choose only one dream. We are not allowed to own many dreams. Why? Because according to them, it for making us focus in reaching our dream.

But in my opinion, the meaning of focus is not like that. We are allowed to own many dreams. We also can be focus in all of our dreams. We can do all of activities that can reach our dream. But, when we do one activity (one dream)  we are focus and we don’t think about aother activity (dream). When we change our activity we should be focus in that activity and we don’t think about others.

So, eventhough we have many dreams it does’n matter. We can be focus in all of our dreams. The most important we don’t do activities that doesn’t bring us to get dreams.

Okey, keep spirit. :)

Are We Still Sad?

My brother, many people feel sad if there are anythings that are not suitable with their heart. We know that it is natural. I mean sadness, happiness, etc are things that must happen in our life.

But in Islamic teaching, we are forbidden by Allah to be sad. Allah said in al-Quran, “Laa Tahzan”. “Don’t be sad”. So, if we are often sad in our life, we don’t obey to Allah command. He forbid us in order we are not sad, but we are still often sad. It is signs that our faith is not srong. Our faith is still weak.

A good moslem will be always happy in his life. If he get something good he will thankfull to Allah. But if he get something bad, he will be patient. Both of them are good and create happiness.

Okey, it is the last statement for me in this writing as conclusion:

“We are commanded by Allah to do maximally and effort as possible as we can. But we are also forbidden to be sad. If we do but we are sad, so we still don’t obey to Allah”.

Okey, thank you. May this writing can give advantage for us. :)

For Keep Motivation

My brother, I only want to say to you that we need motivation for reaching success. But, how the way to keep our motivation?

One of the way is we write motivation words on a paper. Then we put the paper in places that we can look it easily. It can be mirror, wallet, dekstop of laptop, or in other places. So when we are not spirit and we look that words motivation we will get high motivation again.

The other way is we often speak affirmation words loudly. What is the example for this one? The example is like this: 

“I am the special...

I am the winner...

I must be able...”

Say it loudly frequently. If we can, say it loudly in the morning after waking up from sleep.

How about us? Can we?

The Most Dangerous Barrier

My brother, just now I joined motivation training that is held by STAI Luqman AL-Hakim Surabaya. The motivator is Faqih Syarif, a spritual motivator.

He told about the way to get success. The formula is HIT. H= “Hancurkan penghalang”. The meaning is, destroy the barrier. I = “Impianmu tuliskan”. Write your dream. T =”Tingkatkan kemampuanmu”. Improve your abilty.

He said that the obstacle or barrier that must be destroyed there are two. Visible barrier and invisible barrier. The example of invisible barrier is negative thinking, fear of failure, and destructive character.

But I think, there is one more barrier that we must destroy. It is sin or immoral, especially caused by eyes (immoral/sin of eyes). Really,  in my opinion, it is the most dangerous barrier in this life. I said like that based on my experience.

May we can be safe from this barrier. Ameen.

My brother, just now my friend invited me to accompany him going to market to buy something after Jum’ah prayer. Actually, I have plan to do something in that time. But I undertake his request. I think, there are many good things that I will get. First, I will get reward, because I “help” him. Second, I will make him happy. Third, our brotherhood will be stronger. Forth, I will get “other reward”, because what he will buy is for instution, not for him.

But  off course, I should do this because of Allah. :)

Alhamdulillah my brother, I write again. I think, I should not write many writings here. I also can write simple writing. Two lines, three lines, etc. I think, it’s never mind. The most important, I write here. Write everyday. Yeah, everyday. Off course, it’s difficult. And I have bitter experience about it. But I am sure that in the next time, I can write in this lovely blog everyday. InshaAllah. :)

 And I think, my target to write everyday in this blog is not so hard or difficult. Because the target is only writing. Nothing special requirement. For example, the writing must be good and must be read by many readers. No, the target is not like that. Bad or good is not problem.

My brother, just now I practice a knowledge that I get from one of my teacher. When there is someone ask to us something or do sharing with us we should pay attention to him. Don’t cut the conversation firstly. He should stop the conversation firstly, not us. Except we have very urgent activity that must we do.

His name is Suparman, student of STAIL Surabaya who will graduate and will follow “wisuda”. I tried to pay attention to him. I don’t stop the conversation eventhough I have special schedule. I hope he get what he want to get. :)

Hm….I also hope, what I write can give advantage to me and to all of us. Ameen.
