Dear baby turtle.

Assalamua'laikum

Ever seen baby turtles that has just hatched. I was lucky to see it once about a year and a half ago.



It walked slowly reaching its destination along with all its brothers and sisters. Each find its own path to walk to and never worrying if they stumble or knock into each other. Whenever they stumble, they got up again and keep walking without hesitation.
They were so small and vulnerable.
Yet they are determined.

As they reach the shore, the water pushed it further away but it kept getting up and walk towards the water. Some was brought back to the sand as another wave comes.

Even when it is already inside the water, more danger will come. Not all will survive. But some will come back to the same beach to continue the cycle.


Its true that it is their nature to do all of that. They don't have brains. So they won't be able to make the choice.

Sometimes I think that I have less spirit to move on than those baby turtles. Even though I have brains and can make the choices I want, I'm scared of what may come ahead.

I hope that one day I'll be able to face the future with more willpower and strength. Besides, life is unpredictable. We can only work hard, pray and hope for the best. And hopefully I'll make more friends along the way to keep me motivated. That's what friends are for. We work together to achieve the goals and mission that we have.
