Bukit Batu Putih, Port Dickson was my latest hiking trail
and was extremely worth it. Just 30 minutes of hiking but since there was no
sign of the hill’s entrance we, me and Kak Najwa, were lost and finally reached
the top after roughly above an hour. So, as usual, I always have something to
write about my hiking trips. Sometimes, I did not write based on the activity
itself but commonly was highlighted by it.
In this entry, I would like to highlight about inspirations.
We all need inspirations from time to time after mental exhaustion life events.
We all have been through it. No big deal because we know how to tackle this
particular subject as everyone is learning throughout each day. However, when I
stepped my feet back to my house after this hike, I realised that I have
numerous questions in my head and one of them was how well do we actually know how
to tackle hard days and really apply them to our life in order to have better
tomorrows?

I’m talking about both emotions and actions. Of course,
every act is a translation to what we feel but sometimes our brains interpreted
it almost to the opposite and that’s how
one develop his character; extrovert or introvert. This is just a general perspective
from someone who barely knows about humans’ brains. An extrovert is able to fully
express his feelings most appropriately and it is contrary to an introvert.
Please do correct me if I am wrong.
I actually was inspired to write about this after watching a
very inspirational movie the other day. Too many ‘inspire’ root-word in a
sentence, I know. Anyways, my hobbies inspire me in a way I never thought of
possible. So, I do recommend you guys to have hobbies and be proactive in doing
so. As for mine, each time I go to hike and then take some good photos, I feel
alive and revived. I haven’t feel that way for quite some time and a bonus just
came knocking on my door. The view at hilltop of BBP, PD was breath-taking. The
feeling that I felt at that moment was almost similar to every bad thing in the
world are wiped out in a split second. It is indeed such a powerful feeling. I
was super excited that my fear to heights was gone for couple of minutes. I
stood on a rock and suddenly thought that this is a blissful country. I repeat
a blissful country. Yes, a very blissful one.
We are blessed for a gift after another and we overlooked it
most of the time. When we are tested with hardship, we complained, we rebelled
yet did not have enough faith to believe that the bigger the investment, the
bigger the return. We pray, we ask Allah for mercy, for solace yet we never try
to our full capabilities on seeking it. All we do is ask and demand but never to
put proper amount of efforts parallel with our wishes. I demanded rest when we
were lost in the middle of a hot dry day which was totally appropriate but I
also demanded that I can find the entrance as soon as possible. I rejected the possibility
on enjoying the forest’s view and might able to find a rare breed bird because
it never registered in my mind. Soon after we walked round and round, circling
Tanjung Tuan Firehouse, we also asked some Samaritans and googled on how to
reach our ultimate spot, again demanded longer rest, we found it!
Only if I was not so demanding, I would be thrilled and
cherish the very moment. My physique was fatigue and I could no longer
establish any joy and this is an exaggerated version of my tiredness. Yes, I do
make lame jokes too.
When we are inspired, we actually believe in ourselves to go
through our days and perhaps take risks or in other words, grab opportunities!
They’re lying there untouched by people whom are scared to try new things, to
change a routine, to leave comfort zone. Once headed down the hill, we sang “I
am Titanium!” out loud and it felt good! Of course there were nobody there but
the nature heard us, Allah heard us. Every piece of thought are silent prays
and never have Allah missed to answer them; yes, no or I’ll give you a better
option. After all, I do think I am titanium. :)
All I’m trying to say
is take a pause once in a while. It might not be any harmful to anyone or to
any outcome that we wished for. Learn to rest, not to quit and cherish every
moment because we deserved it. Seek
opportunities and grab them while they last and most importantly, be inspired!
p/s: be inspired even from a smile.
That’s is for now, Salamualayk.
