The Act of Balancing

When we talk a lot about money, savings and investment, it gives people the impression that that's the only thing that we are thinking about.

Well, for me, that's what I choose to talk aloud about. There are still the unspoken things which I choose to keep to myself, and well in fact, the unspoken things are much much more than whatever is written here...

Ok, enough of justifying things =)

Today's entry will be fairly short. It's about the act of balancing.

Between the world or dunia, and the hereafter.

Sometimes I think, especially when I've started working, it 'forces' me to think more about worldly matters most of the time. From newspapers to research reports, email updates on this and that company, its financial highlights, new projects they are awarded with, etc etc and it's like neverending, day in day out.

And then you continue talking about it with your friends, family and of course husband.

At first I find it difficult to cope with. But somehow or rather, I'm scared that I think more of worldly matters now instead of the hereafter due to my nature of work. I mean how do I balance between both?

I think the act of balancing between the two world is a struggle everyone faces, regardless of their background or perhaps working environment. It is a constant struggle for us to always be aware of our real purpose in life.

It is not about being happy, getting married, having your own family or even building your career path. But it's realizing the fact that we need to be constantly aware of the need of having enough assets to bring with us to the hereafter.

In the end, all that matters is where we will end up.

But of course, even with that end in mind, we must live this world to the best of our ability, for without it, we wouldn't have enough reason to justify our purpose in this world.

Semoga rahmat dan kasih sayang Allah sentiasa bersama kita....
