the choice

Who we are depends greatly on what we believe, do, say ... it comes as a compliment having these three things sync in the same direction and tempo ... it will be tough for us when these three things starts to go their separate ways ... we'll get confused and so are those who are dealing with us ...
Whatever we believe, no one can confirm that except ourselves ... but whatever we did or said ... that will roughly give us away on who we are actually ... or what we believe! ... the faith ... the iman ... which simply must have the element of believing, saying and doing ... once they are in sync and revving strongly ... the iman gets stronger and stronger.
A common obstacle called pain will be with us on and off ... to check what we are doing or saying ... at time there is a need to tread on fragile or thorny path ... that may cause damage on whatever we trod on or hurt us when the thorns got stuck in our feet ... these are challenges we need to face to live up to what we are believing in, saying or doing ... and that's where our iman strengthen or weakens ... by working our way handling the obstacle or just giving in to it ... the choice is ours.
