There’s nothing sure in life except death. Even that’s a little fuzzy because you don’t know when. Life is just probabilities. It’s not always fair. Sometimes it’s damn unfair. Some people have it so easy. Anything they dream of is within their reach. The probability of any given success in their life is higher than if you scraped your ass in hard work trying to get there. In the end all you can do is try. If I work hard and don’t give up the probability of success will be higher. Whether it actually materializes is up to God though. All I can do is try.
How many people want to be doctors? Floods of students who work their butts off trying to get in. You cannot say that those that didn’t get in didn’t try or unworthy in any way. They tried honey. Just because someone does not attain success doesn’t mean that they didn’t try. Sure, some students could have tried harder, they could have increased their probabilities. But it’s never a level playing field. No one goes through the exact same path in life. Some paths are paved smooth, some paths are long, some are short, some are ridden with dead ends and some paths lead us to a destination different than the one we were seeking. Pray, perservere and have patience. Hopefully you’ll have some success in your life. All you can do is increase your probabilities by trying. The rest is up to God.
I’ve finally realized I cannot force anything to happen. I can just try. It’s scary. I feel helpless but at the same time I feel like a huge load has been lifted from my shoulders. Before, I felt my failures were due to a lack of passion, determination, conviction and a lack of discipline. Now I feel like I am only responsible for increasing the probabilities. Not for the actual act itself. Don’t get me wrong, I’ll still feel bad when things crap out and the shit really hits the industrial-sized fan. I can only try and find comfort in knowing I tried my best.
Wow. Someone needs spicy chili fries and MILK. I heart you.
And even probabilities can only take you so far. Life is just too uncertain. We just gotta pray for the best and trust in Allah that what you’ve been provided is just that.
Assalamualaikum,
I’m not sure of the exact reference but it does say in the Quran that sometimes you may think something is good for you when it actually isn’t and, conversely, you may think something is bad for you when it’s actually beneficial. And God knows and you don’t.
Just trust in God and work hard. We are only responsible for the effort we put in. Results are from ALLAH. And He is the Grantor of bounties without measure . . .
to sum up what she said = life’s a biatch that can’t be controlled. the end.
ZZ, what’s this about milk? You know i avoid it. It feels yucky just by itself. Cheese good, sour cream nice, yogourt is better left avoided, milk is to be avoided. To sum up, the more solid a dairy product is the more enjoyable.
i know. i just like to bug you. maybe if i mention it enough, you will begin to believe that you like milk and thus you will drink it. remember the time you had that jug of milk and you drank most of it. ahhahaha. good times. besides, milk turns solid if you let it get chunky enough.
ew
chunky milk = sour milk = no good = curdles in tummy = owwy. i like to chew the chunks. it adds texture to the milk.
it’s just yogourt anyways.
