My Word for 2016: RETURN

I never thought that finding a word for this EF challenge would take more than a week! Sunday I got the word, then Wednesday I found more suitable word for 2016, and the end of the week I changed again, ahh..maybe my word for this year should be DECIDE :D

Well, after spending nights thinking on my bed, my word for 2016 is RETURN.

I’m not sure whether this word is the right word to express my goal, but the point is I want to return to good habits that I once had. Life has changed, and it changed me also. I am so thankful for what I have right now. God has given me happiness more than I have ever expected, but this happiness seems to drive me away from Him. The decreasing-spirituality haunts me everyday and I thank God for this feeling. It means, I still realize that I have to go back to the condition that satisfied me spritually.

Other than doing more rituals like praying (solat), charity (sedekah), or reciting Quran, I also want to return to some habits like ALWAYS eating and drinking with right hand and sitting (I often skip this in the reason of hurry), praying before I eat, sleep, start something (I often forget this), and stay silent if people are talking about others (sometimes I feel uneasy if I don’t give any comment in two persons conversation, but I felt so bad if finally I gave).

I think everyone wants become a better person every year, so do I. I really hope this year I succeed to return to the good things I used to have. If I do, I will feel happier, do everything with satisfaction, and affect people around me to be happy also, aamiin.
