Bless in Mistake

Assalamualaikum,

As ordinary person, with an ordinary background, I see that this life is a place of struggle. A place where I have to make choices, and each choices lead me to another choices. It's quite difficult because a wrong choice could lead me into places I would not want to and never imagine of. Once in a while, there will come a time where I had to make decision that will negatively or positively impact me. To be honest, I have no idea whether my choice is the right one or not. I could make my own judgement, but to say it's the right decision to be made, only time can tell.

We often see people on social media share about their life’s problem. From home, to workplace, and to their love life. Everyone has their own problem. Then we as netizen often make our judgement on them. We could be wrong, we could be right. But the truth is, we never really know whether it is right or wrong. But most of the time, we throw a negative remark on them.

Normally, we will associate a mistake as some sort of a curse. It is like a bad thing in life if we commit a mistake, big or small. Our emotion and mind generally project a mistake as something that will tear down one’s life. We see some news about a woman being divorce at a very young age, and we think her life must be miserable after this. And then we say that woman must have made a mistake by marrying that guy. But what if her divorce is actually a bless in her life. What if her true happiness is actually waiting for her after that divorce.

We could make a lot of mistakes in life. Wrong choice of career, mistakenly socialised with wrong group of people, wrong choice of life's partner. These are all a mistake, as we called it. But those mistakes, are actually a bless for us. It is a bless only when we seek for it. Those who does not want to accept their mistake and see the reason behind every misfortune, will not be able to see or feel the bless of it. 

As a Muslim, I believe everything happened for a reason. There’s hikmah behind every tragedy. We can repeatedly say that it's a mistake to do such and such, but those mistakes are actually a means to make us a better person. Make those mistake our turning point to become better. Move forward and change. If we are willing to learn from every mistakes we made and seek for the hikmah, then we will be grateful for everything that happened. So at the end of the day, it's not really a mistake, but a bless in life.

Until Next Post, Adios!
