The Path Taken

It took me 3 days to finally update this blog. The previous entry is not counted as an update because it is a paid post..heh! I was hoping to update last night but somehow I didn’t manage to wrap up my draft and save it. All of a sudden I lost Internet connection and there goes my first few lines. Not that it is that important to get it published since I was writing about sighing in relief as I considered yesterday as a successful day but then at 5am I felt terrible as the baby refused to sleep…huhu!

When I typed the above title, my main intention was to talk about how we choose the path in our life and where it leads us to. But after receiving a distress phone call from SIL, I thought of sharing this with others.

Sometimes when it comes to love, it’s hard to make a wise decision. We tend to put ourselves through pain just because we thought he or she is the right person. We fail to see that if the so called thing that we thought as love creates such pain and large hurdle too great to overcome, then perhaps that’s the life sign to us to tell that it’s not the right path for us to choose.

But then if we are really, really sure that the person is the right one and we go with our instinct, then if that is what God intend for us to have, the path will be smooth and easier despite what other people say about our choice. Of course we have to strive hard to maintain the relationship but it shouldn’t be painful.

You can’t expect to be happy when the person sleeping next to you is the one who makes you cry day and night. Marriage should be built based on compromise and great ability to handle hard situation. If small matters make him or her freak out and throw tantrum, how do you think he/she can manage the stress in marriage later. No person should be too forgiving and continuously give in just to save face or to avoid confrontation.

In the end as jodoh pertemuan di tangan Tuhan, we can only pray that whatever path we decide to take will lead us to the eternal happiness, (kekal hingga ke syurga)..or if it happens to end sooner, at least we know that we have done our very best but only God knows what lies ahead for us.
