Pausing to delight

Salam and hi!

My sister-in-law share this article on her FB. (The link is at the end) And I have found an answer to my inner self confusion.

For the past years, with all technologies, I feel the world is moving so fast. (refer to my older post) And I'm struggling. Being a person living with checklist, I have found out that my to-do list keep on growing everyday i.e check Whatsapp, text this and that person, Facebook, Twitter, Instagram, read that article, journal, guidelines etc. At one point, I feels frustrated because I can't fulfill the list. (Well, of course the reason is my inability in prioritise things. Yes, I'm aware of that. When you are care so much about everything and you are overthinking, you can't stop yourself from thinking the possibility of the things that you will miss. And you trying hard to make it perfect but you know you can't. Yes. I'm that type of person) At the end, I am try to slow it down.

Let me gives you an example.
Between cook rice, wash dishes, boil water and prepare to cook chicken. I will calculate the possibility of each task. Rice needs some time to cook. So, I will start to cook rice first but the sink is full with dirty plates, if I wash the dishes first, I will delay cook the rice. But how can I cook the rice if the sink is full? So, wash dishes first. But the water from washing the rice is good for plant (Mum told me this) and can be used as air bilas for the dirty plates. So, should I water the plant afterwards? And so on.

You will see me standing at the end of the kitchen thinking which one to start first. And that's my brain. Well, eventually I will do it everything. Those are days when smartphone aren't exist. Slowly, those thinking time has been replaced with checking the phone, do stuffs here and there and less using the brain. Now, whenever I am doing the chores, I will just do it. Like a robot. Didn't think much of the consequences. You will see me soo lincah at the kitchen. Go here and there. Padahal boleh je go here sekali je. Erk. Anyway, I thought that's ok (even though some parts of me disagree. That's come the inner self confusion)

Until I read this article. (the link is at the end). The words 'Hurry Up' is not the solution. The article is beautifully written as a point of view as a mother in dealing with their kids. But I have read somewhere (I can't remember where) saying each adult have a child part. And this part is the one that we need to constantly tame, teach (didik), care. If you can do that, you can teach your own child in the future.

"Pausing to delight in the simple joys of everyday life is the only way to truly live."

Now I know the reason I am more happy in my college years than university life. Pause. Well, I still have time before it ends. 3 more months to go. I know I have lots to study, to catch up. But quality vs quantity. Being happy and grateful move you forward faster.

Well, I don't know if I am able to keep that attitude as a doctor in the future. This profession require fast decision making. Hopefully, I can calm down and maintain my machoness.. Lols.

Hope you get something from this!
Pause is not a sin.
Be reasonable.
There are things in life that need quick action, and there are things aren't.
Judge appropriately and leave it to Allah.
At the end of the day, Allah knows best!
May Allah bless!

【The Day I Stopped Saying ‘Hurry Up’】 |

P/s what would my marriage life be in the future? Hurm. Harap tak menyesal. Lols. Well, hidup ke idak pun tak tahu. Buat bekalan tuh hukumnya wajib, sayang oiii.

Hentikan berangan. Moh le jinakkan sifat keanak-anakan dalam diri. Pimpin diri sebelum memimpin orang lain. Jom tidur! Erk. Study study. Ehehs.
