The Meaning of Victory

 "People who are strong it can not beat anyone else, but who can beat himself"
[HR. Ibn Hibbaan]

edge-tebing.jpgTak no good way to be taken by the fighters. Every road taken full thistles and thorns, the Prophet reminded heaven is surrounded by something that is not fun, so words of the Prophet. See the way of Allah, those who really loved God, his life was full of threats, taunts, exams, and obstacles. That's a colorful way to victory ....
It's Divine line that a warrior, like a climber, he has to go through the steep hills, steep ravines, the worse the bush. The higher the climb itself is usually more climbers. Being on top means in an increasingly heavy terrain. Thus only a strong climber who successfully alone set foot there. And when on top he found a beautiful scenery that can not be seen by the people below. He felt a happiness that is not perceived by others. Happiness is exactly what people wanted.
There is nothing in life is to be feared. The storm would hit, the test would not come. No need to dodge, face it. Look at it as a divine gift. Accept, then open it. There must be something useful in it. What separates us with success is a challenging problem. As much a problem, he would never exceed our ability to bear. Too naive if we were defeated by the problem. We are more valuable than the existing problem. Masalahlah that will take us on a step further.
World only briefly this is the place to test capabilities. We need not complain to the limitations that we are not able to change it. We have been perfect for our mission. We have been given the best figure. Look for strength in ourselves. Life is not a question of what we have, but what can we do with what we have. Our values are what we karyakan, not what we are complaining. Berkaryalah while our potential is still there. Did according as opportunity permits. Realize we work wholeheartedly. No need to seek praise, gratitude, or praise people. There was absolutely no reason for it. Sincerity will make us loose from the shackles of an exhausting passions of the soul.
Remember the advice of the Prophet that the greatest jihad is against yourself. Therefore, victory is not in the thick muscles, loud voice, nor at the time we managed to vent emotions, rebuked the people, or cornering. What is the meaning of victory when we achieve it by hurting the people around us. Victory is not when we beat others. But the victory is when we are able to self-defeating. That is the art of living together.
