Trying hard for something

"amazed by the courage of other humans"

Our society has long be stereotyping obese people. They will be looked in a different way than any other people.

I've just watch a story about people who are super obese. They goes to a medical institute to get a better life. Some of them can't even walk. Some haven't get out of bed for 2 years. They have high risk to get heart disease, and other major sickness which may shorten the length of their life.

I've never really thought that one could get over 600 pounds. But when I see them, they really are great humans who trying to get better. They are willing to take the effort to do the simplest things to us such as walking, getting into their vehicles independently, going to supermarket to shop and so on.

They learn how to eat better, and exercise more. That really is a lot, unlike me. I've never really thought of the things that I eat. I don't have to stop myself from taking any type of food and shove it down my throat. I don't really exercise that much. and still I'm underweight. Going to the mall or somewhere else is not hard to do. But for these super obese people, all these things are a great deal in their life.

They take the effort to get up, walk a few steps. Day by day, the effort really give them results. They've lost weight, have a better health than before, and they could start going on their daily lives better as other people can. They even get new friends who understands best what they are going through.


" Dan janganlah kamu berasa lemah (dalam perjuangan mempertahankan dan menegakkan Islam), dan janganlah kamu berdukacita (terhadap apa yang akan menimpa kamu)."
(Al-Imran : 139)

"Mudah-mudahan Allah akan mengadakan perasaan kasih sayang antara kamu dengan orang-orang yang kamu musuhi dari kerabat kamu itu (dengan jalan menjadikan mereka insaf dan memeluk Islam). Dan (ingatlah), Allah Maha Kuasa (atas tiap-tiap sesuatu), dan Allah Maha Pengampun, lagi Maha Mengasihani."
(Al-Mumtahanah : 7)


"Kemudian setelah selesai sembahyang maka bertebaranlah kamu di muka bumi (untuk melaksanakan urusan masing-masing), dan carilah apa yang kamu hajati dari limpah kurnia Allah, serta ingatlah akan Allah banyak-banyak (dalam segala keadaan), supaya kamu berjaya (di dunia dan di akhirat)."
(Al-Jumu'ah : 10)

Its been so long since I tried hard for something. Its hard to put it all on the table and not think about failing without even trying. So, I wanted to have a big heart like these super obese people. Its easier to go on with my days as I did any other day. But we will discover something more interesting and we will gain the joy as the days passes.


-Lets ask ourselves, when is the last time we really tried hard and continuously for something in our life?-


Wassalam.
