Its 5.41am,

I’m alone in the room,

staring straight into my laptop screen,

and somehow rather,

I can’t stop the tears from flowing down my cheeks.

How often do we think about death? Me personally the answer seems to be; very rarely. I live my life in a somewhat carefree manner because as long as i’ve lived i have always been healthy. A few times i was admitted to the hospital for minor problems and diseases but all in all im a healthy person. And being so tends to lead me to feel nonchalant about life because your lucky to always feel comfortable and in the safe zone.

But as they say “life is like a ball, sometimes we’re up the next time we’re down.” Today you might be healthy and as fit as a fiddle but you never know what’s going to happen tommorrow, maybe you’ll be diagnosed with a fatal disease and have a limited period of time left in this world, you never know. We don’t know how lucky we are to be in the condition we are today, healthy, able to walk, play, hang out with your buddies and enjoy that what life has to offer. There are people out there who aren’t as fortunate as we are, those for example who are diagnosed with breast cancer and are only 24 years of age. How would you react if the doctor told you straight to your face that you have only 1 month to live?

We on the other hand are living the life, healthy, normal as you call it , able to live it up everyday without a care in the world. We’re given something so precious by God, and yet everyday we continue to do sins. How does that tally with what God has given to us? Without Him we are nothing, and I often seem to forget that. So i would like to remind myself and others that everyday, no every second if possible we should be thankful to God for all of his blessings to us. Always muhasabah everyday to see what we’ve done wrong and to try to “upgrade” ourselves to become a better person.

PS: try watching this video hopefully it helps remind us how fortunate we are
