Being calm or being ambitious

 Assalamualaikum w.b.t.

These few days i start thinking again..not that i havent been thinking all this while. Its just most of the time the thoughts that i have processing in me is not worth telling or MAYBE just MAYBE it might hurt somebody.  So if i do not have nice things to say, i better not say anything at all.  So you can figure, how many days in a year i do have nice things to say/write...lol.  Jokes aside!

These few days, i saw a video/reel about Theory of Happiness by Einstein, who doesnt know him...i dont have to introduce.  Besides the fact that he has an unusual name (like mine), he is also known as a genius (like me)..its just that nobody knows that about me..lol.

Well back to what i am trying to write, Einstein said that in order for us to stay happy, we need to stay calm and have a modest life.  Yes i do have a modest life, alhamdulillah, but calm?!! Hmmm...let me share you the quote below.

Is this quote suggesting that do not pursue success because it will make you unhappy and restless?? what about for some people who are born that way, some of us need something to woke up to, some things that needs done therefore you need to get up and move.  Having something to do in my-to-do-list is what makes me tick.  Or else i will be lying down thinking, what am i to do, what is my purpose in life...and i will be miserable.  I am not saying that i have that list everyday, there are days that i like to have nothing-to-do in a day, other than my obligation and my relationship with Allah.  But most of the time i do have something to do, even if it's just organizing my kitchen, or making an apple struddle, yes that one also will be something that can make me calm and compose...lol.

Now, my to-do-list is not that long (i use to have 10 things to do in a day), and my KPI is based on weekly basis...last time lah! Nowadays, i have 1 KPI a month and that 10 things to-do is distributed in 30 days.  I think that has made my life calmer and relax.  Of course i do have my plants to help me in that area as well.  Do you know that putting your hands in soil will discharge you of negativity...thats just a thought, but you should try it too!

Salaam.
