Adakalanya memang agak sukar dan susah , zahir juga rasa kesal dan kecewa apabila membuat keputusan atau melakukan sesuatu yang bertentangan dengan kehendak. Namun adakah perlu memberikan kepentingan kepada kehendak kita yang ternyata tidak selari dengan kehendakNYA?
Apakah ini dinamakan nafsu?
Maka di sinilah Akal, anugerah terhebat untuk insan memainkan peranan untuk menguasai keadaan. Akal amat perlu membuat keputusan dengan sendirinya setelah membuat pertimbangan baik dan buruk tanpa hadirnya pengaruh nafsu.
Nafsu dalam masa yang sama amat menggemari godaan. Godaan pula menawarkan keseronokkan dan kegembiraan semata mata. Malah ia bersifat pendek dan sementara. Lantas tiadalah puas akan nafsu. Tingkah laku nafsu seperti api dalam serkam. Sentiasa membara setiap detik sepanjang waktu. Datangnya angin maka marak lah ia. Apabila maraklah ia, maka terbakarlah serkam sehingga pupus menjadi debu
Apabila godaan menjemput nafsu, maka meledaklah ia. Kebaikkannya tiada malah merosakkan sesiapa saja baik diri sendiri mahupun orang sekeliling. Maka sia sialah kebaikkan apabila nafsu dituruti walaupun sejenak.
Nafsu memang tidak terbatas malah sukar juga untuk dibendung. Namun tiadalah pasti akan dapat dijauhi dan ditinggalkan sekiranya antara sedar dan tidak masih memberkani ruang dan sering mendekati unsur unsur godaan itu sendiri. Walaupun niat menuruti tiada namun bara yang ditiup lembut pasti akan menyala juga.
Paling bijak bertindaklah segera menepis dan menjauhkan diri apabila terkesan akan kehadiran godaan itu walaupun datangnya dengan lembut dan baik. Kepekaan dan ketajaman kata hati mampu mengubah segala galanya.
Seorang insan tiadalah kekuatan pada dirinya selain dari pertolongan Yang Maha Kuasa. Maka mohonlah kepadaNya kerana amat suka akan DIA mahluk yang mengingatiNYA.

SPRINGCLEAN YOURLIFE
1. CLEAN OUT THE ANGER, HATRED, JEALOUSY AND SELF DOUBT.
If you need to apologize, bit the bullet and do it. If you’re still angry and waiting on an apology from someone who won’t or can’t give you one, decide to let it go. It’s not contributing to your life -- in fact it’s contaminating it -- so it needs to go to the junk heap at the curb. Only then can you put something POSITIVE in it’s place. MAKE SOME ROOM FOR HAPPINESS.
2. WASH AWAY DELAY AND PROCRASTINATION
Delay and procrastination set you up for frustration after frustration. You’ll find yourself constantly in the past, trying to catch up, scrambling around trying not to get caught. Is that really how you want to live. GET INTO THE PRESENT! You’re missing your life by living yesterday over and over.
3. DUST OFF YOUR ATTITUDE AND PUT ON A FRESH COAT OF POSITIVE.
A positive attitude begins with gratitude. For just one day, practice giving instead of taking, practice sharing as much love, help, care, concern, and gratitude as possible. It’ll change your perspective.
4. THROW OUT MISUNDERSTANDING AND LACK OF PATIENCE
Sweep out the dirt of gossip or lies. Open the shades and let in the warmth of friendship. True friendships, take work, time, energy, thoughtfulness. True friendships require forgiveness, require understanding. You don’t want to be a doormat to anyone, but you do want to find relationships that are equal and reciprocal. The results are certainly worth it
.5. LIGHTENUP YOUR THOUGHTS WITH HUMOR AND FUN
Yes life is difficult and the world can be a scary tiresome place. But in your own world, you are in charge of every day. You decide what to think about. You decide when to laugh, you decide what to read, what to listen to, what to think about. Choose to insert laughter into each day; choose to have a little fun every day. In life we have only two choices. Good or bad. Right or wrong. CHOOSE WISELY
6. OPEN THE WINDOWS OF YOUR MIND TO NEW IDEAS AND A FRESH PERSPECTIVE ON LIVING A HAPPIER, BETTER AND EASIER LIFE
Change takes action. There’s no silver bullet, no magic pill. But if you’ll open your mind to some different ways of doing things, if you’ll try some new habits, if you’ll work your mind muscles and your organizational skills in a different way, you’ll find that you’ll create the life that you truly want, not just the one that you end up with.
7. ENJOY THE PERSON YOUR ARE
If you don’t like yourself, find out why, and start working on becoming a person you do enjoy and that others will enjoy also. The returns will be worth it.
