Sometimes I wish we can see our Score-card

At times, I do wish I can see how I have been doing as a person, as a mother, as a wife and just as a somebody in this universe. I want to know my scores. I want to know which area I need improvement and which area I am doing well in, in God's perspective.

Well, this is life. We can never know our progress from Him so the nearest we can get to any score-card is for us to do our own self-evaluation. But sometimes, I can be quite tough on myself and sometimes I can be so not-bothered. Also, it's hard to recall and evaluate our true intentions when we did a certain something. God has it all taken care - from intention, right down to the manner things are done and even the effects of what we have done. (By the way, I hate staff ranking exercises at the workplace because they will always fail to see the intention and even the tiny things that miss their eyes so they can never be truly fair)

That's why, sometimes, I want to know so much, how much I've scored and `performed' or how much I have not.

But I guess, that's why we have our brains, our instincts and the Holy scripture - the Quran and Hadis to give us the guidelines as to what makes Him please with us and what does not....and go and live life accordingly.

I got to continue this journey - in a way that He'll be pleased with me. And, oh yes, I love the following. I thought, I must have it somewhere in my blog.

People are often unreasonable, irrational, and self-centered.
Forgive them anyway.

If you are kind, people may accuse you of selfish, ulterior motives.
Be kind anyway.

If you are successful, you will win some unfaithful friends and some genuine enemies.
Succeed anyway.

If you are honest and sincere people may deceive you.
Be honest and sincere anyway.

What you spend years creating, others could destroy overnight.
Create anyway.

If you find serenity and happiness, some may be jealous.
Be happy anyway.

The good you do today, will often be forgotten.
Do good anyway.

Give the best you have, and it will never be enough.
Give your best anyway.

In the final analysis, it is between you and God.
It was never between you and them anyway.
