I've been quiet for quite awhile haven't I? :D
Ngeeee...
I miss blabbing. Here it goes...
"...because YOU are the pilot of your own life." ~suite life of zack & cody
So true, but most of the time, words easier said than done.
You might be the pilot, but you can't control the weather, the nature of events, that is up to the big boss up there to decide when is the rain, when and where the thunder gonna strike, how hard the wind blows and also if Allah gonna give you a pass and let things go smooth sailing for you. And Allah does not decide just because he finds it amusing- it's not sims.
what I am saying is that sometimes we have planned our lives-have it all thought out, then we do our best to make sure it is executed as we want it to be, analyse the pros & cons an all. But no matter how good the plan is, if Allah decides its not gonna happen- it won't, however if Allah decides its going to happen it will- despite bad and unfortunate events keep interfering along the way and all seems grey,it will happen and might turn up better than you expected.
With Allah's decision you might succeed, perhaps fail, you might get it done halfway, you just end up forgetting to do it at all what ever Allah decides- success or failure, hard or easy, believe me it is the BEST for us even if it is hard to swallow. Because everything happens for a reason. It rains cause trees need to drink, the sun shines cause animals we need to dry our clothes, wind blows to create circulation and so much more things happens with great reasons we know, and some we know not.
So lead your life, be a great pilot- understand that life is your plane which its destination is the afterlife zone and lands either in Jannah or Hell. It's destination will only be available according to how you make the calls of judging your flight.
When things get hard and everything seems impossible, here's a word from an important person of mine(with some editing):
Allah makes you go through bad times so that when you prevail, you become a better person. :)
