A WONDERFUL TAZKIRAH FROM AFDLIN SHAUKI
Have you guys ever heard or read some nice advise from an artist or a celebrity? Well... I think so. But not much of them you can categorize it within the ambit of a Tazkirah. Well, I've found one. Right after I've read it... I believe it's to be a kind of a wonderful advice. Check it out!
Hi gang, kepada semua yang wished me selamat hari raya dan i tak sempat reply, SELAMAT HARI RAYA back. Sememangnya ketika ini ada satu pergolakan besar yang berlaku didalam hidup gua yang membuat gua sering bertanyakan kepada diri sendiri, "Am i challenging myself enough in this life or have i let complacency set ini" ataupun di dalam bahasa melayunya, "Pak Abu tempang selalu pergi gunting bulu hidungnya kat kedai Muthu". Kadang-kadang gua rasa macam hidup gua sekarang dah macam 'On Autopilot'. Tersangat rutin, takde cabaran, yang mengingatkan yang kehidupan yang diberikan tuhan kepada kita ni fragile dan pendek.. so why aren't we living it to the fullest.
How many people out there actually actively think about their mortality? how many think that "If i don't ask for forgiveness from so and so today, my life might end today and i would not get a chance to... ever". How many of us keep putting off saying i love you to our parents, to our spouse, to our children or even to a potential life partner because "i can tell him/her later lah!"... But come LATER you might be in ICU or 'tergolek dog' on the highway after being run over by sebuah lori menyeludup gula dan ayam.
I really think that many of us, myself included, have the tendency to drift and forget especially when REAL LIFE sets in, that once things get too comfortable or once we have something all the time, for example CLEAN AIR! OXYGEN! OUR FIVE SENSES, OUR LOVED ONES, FOOD ON THE TABLE etc... more often then not, we take all of these things for granted and we just don't give a damn about them. We think we have so much time to fix a wrong that has happened in our life..... we think sometimes that because we never get ill or hurt that we are invincible and are probably going to live to a ripe old age, but Allah swt can take as fast as he gives my friends...

SO why don't we just give a 100% effort to our lives if we want it better , let's make it BETTER .....NOW! not tomorrow, minggu depan la, lepas dapat gaji la,... all these reasons are merely excuses that stop us from really experiencing life to the FULLEST. And trust me my friends there is a lot to EXPERIENCE. Kebesaran Tuhan = The Glory of God.
And for those of you who are wondering. Yes i baru balik from another scuba diving trip.
THE POWER IS IN YOUR HANDS TO CHANGE YOUR LIFE
POWER TO THE PEOPLE
AFDLIN SHAUKI
P.S: The message which I'm intending to deliver here is that everybody by natural being (fitrah) wants and accepts virtue to be a very important substance in their life. This is what I've learned about Tauhid ar-Rububiah in my usrah during form 4... 7 years ago.
