The serenity to accept fate

I've just attended a 2 day Counseling Workshop conducted by a Puan Rokiah. Nice knowing her. I've learn some valuable lessons in conducting effective counseling.
The role play was wonderful. I realised, that it is quite tough for a person to be an effective counselor.

I salute Puan Rokiah who admitted that she was coping with cancer and at the same time running support group for cancer patient in KL. I remember she quoted that people who have cancer are not `dying' with cancer, but they are `living' with cancer. Such a positive thinking.
She has the serenity to accept fate and to continue living.

Ya Allah, I thank you for your bounties. I thank you for granting me a wonderful life....

------
God grants me
the serenity,
to accept things I cannot change,
the courage
to change the things I can,
the wisdom to know the difference.

Kenapa Jiwarasa?

Jiwa adalah harta yang tiada ternilai mahalnya. Kesucian jiwa menyebabkan kejernihan diri, lahir dan bathin. Itulah kekayaan sejati.

`Beberapa banyaknya orang yang kaya harta, tetapi mukanya muram, dan beberapa banyaknya orang yang miskin uang, tetapi wajahnya berseri. Sekadar kekuatan dan usaha diri, begitu pulalah tingkatan kesucian yang akan ditempuh jiwanya.'
- petikan HAMKA dari Tasauf Moderen

Jiwa yang kuat perlu sensitif kepada persekitaran. Jiwa yang murni akan merasa resah dan gelisah dengan ketidakadilan, kesengsaraan, kebiadaban dan ketololan manusia.
