2018 resolutions

Assalamualaikum and Hi!

If I can give you one advice in life, that's would probably..to have a goal.

If you feel like your life is lost and messy, try start with having a goal for a day. 

Then slowly, you make a goal for that week, then a month, and so on..

I'd like to share with you today the importance to have a yearly goal.

Having a clear goal in a year, will help you focus and when the time comes, the year ends, you won't feel like you have wasted your time in this world. Believe me, we don't have much time.

Anyway, I'm glad I jotted down my resolutions earlier this year.

I was shy to share this with you. But, I think I'll appreciate this in years to come :) 

When I write my 2018 resolution. I feel everything I aimed for was so hard to get. For the job, as a foreigner with no Japanese language capability, the odd for me to get a job is probably zero. But, with a lot of doa, the job came looking for me. Syukur syukur alhamdulillah...syukur sangat atas rezeki. 

The second resolution is to get pregnant. Again, something that is not within my power. Pregnancy doesn't come easy to me. I was once in the ttc community until Allah s.w.t answered our prayers 3 years ago. We tried many times for this one also. But we never put so much hope given our history. 

But alhamdulillah..Allah s.w.t answered our prayers and my second resolution in now partially fulfilled. Can you please include us in your doa so everything will go on smoothly.

The third resolution was more about my career. During the 2 years hiatus from my work, I did some study and I found that the scientific world has so much advancing than the time when I left. I feel that in order to understand what these people are talking about, I need to embark myself in other field. To familiarize myself with other techniques and field. Alhamdulillah..when I got accepted into the job, I was required to work with genome editing team. A field that is so hot now. Although right now, I'm technically banished from the group, I still am thankful for the short time I get to learn from them. It's enough that I feel I can start again by myself if I'm given the chance to pick up this field again later on in life.

I feel so content to be able to have clear goal this year..and of course to have fulfilled most of it. You can say that maybe it's my luck or it's already written. But, maybe to have it written for you, you must write it down first. If you still don't have resolutions for this coming year, I recommend you to take some time, and think about it. Maybe you will see some magic taking place within the next 365 days 😉
