After my last write up, I have went through my last year topic and I found that I did shared almost the same topics and how I have successfully overcame it. Guess what? It is just the same process.
The key point is always sabar (patience), grateful and keep on praying. Does not matter how hard your test from Allah swt is, if you patiently waiting and keep on praying, grateful what you have now. InsyaAllah you will found your way.
What I want to share today is about recent payout bonus given by my company. Usually my company will distribute bonus before Chinese New Year. Same goes this year, staff getting their bonus days before CNY. When the day come, everyone nervously checking their bank account and they saw the amount they received lesser than previous year. Most of the staff started to complaint why they get lesser than last year and some demotivate to work.
Why this is happening? Expectation vs reality - the reason the staff is so frustrated. We expect getting the same as last year because company keep on sharing the good achievement and good performance of the company last year. I do not want to elaborate more on this and hope you can understand where I coming from. But I would like to share from other perspective, this year might be very challenging for most of company out there. As a counter measure, company need to save to face the economy this year. Some people might refuse and digest and this reason.
Personally, when you are in this situation. How can you be more positive and move on?
You might felt that your dream has falling apart because you have planned what to do with your bonus - this is exactly what my feeling was last year. I have bunch of checklist to buy and to do, eventually it crush into millions of pieces.
This year, it did not affected me so much because of last year experience. Before I share to you more, I want to tell you days before payout, I happened to listen to one sharing from Ustazah about gratitude. Even though I have known about it. This Ustazah sharing made me more stronger day by day. Actually her sharing was for my 'down time' moment (as per I shared to you from my previous write u).

I have decided to share this sharing to my IG friends because I saw some of them posting sad status and some are sharing gratitude quotes from Ulama. But do they really know how to be grateful just only reading all those quotes? if it were me, its only help at that moment and it will not last long.
How to be grateful and move on?
Console yourself by find something to be grateful of.

1. You need to be grateful you still get bonus while others didn't.
2. You need to be grateful you still get your monthly salary while some didn't.
3. You need to be grateful you get last year bonus but you still get your income monthly.
4. You need to be grateful, even you did not get your bonus, you still have money today for lunch and living your life.
and so much more to be grateful of.
Then from there, write down your grateful list by changing it to - I am grateful that I have..........

Repeat this everyday until you get over it. Trust me by repeating and read your gratitude list will help a lot. Lastly, trust Allah swt that the rezeki He gave you is sufficient for you. InsyaAllah, there will be miracle.
Now, I want to share with you that this time payout didn't hit me badly because last year I get lesser than this year, Even though deep in my heart I am expecting and hoping I get a good bonus this year. I didn't really bother by it. Last year lesson, made me more careful with my expenditure and I didn't plan to buy anything extravagant from my bonus. I only save it for my February trip and the rest of the money is for my extra monthly expenditure. I just continue living spending as usual. Alhamdulillah, my husband is really understanding he didn't say anything about it.
I found that how I used my bonus last year works well on me and I have managed to survive last year with total a month bonus + monthly salary. Thus I have decided to maintain it that way even before I received my bonus.
Anyway, this year is very challenging year for most of the company. Please do save as much as you can.
Thank you
