Bismillah.
Earlier this morning, my mom gave a piece of advice that I feel much relatable to my recent deep thought. I have been exhausted by my incompetency to manage on my work-life balance. Ever since I wfh, I had decrease in productivity during the day that I decided to make up those hours wasted at night.
No --- to be honest even before Ramadhan I had been replying to my SV's email outside of office hours. Occasionally, he would email/whatsapp me at 11-12pm, 3am and even 5am, sometimes even on the weekend. They were meaningless not until I decided to pick up those work calls, and work outside of the office hour because I thought, "if you want to go to the top, this kind of sacrifice is necessary."
On this Ramadhan, I had found myself torn in between catching up to my ibadah goals with work deadline- which it will never ends, at least not until my contract ends.
Mom mentioned about the four troubles that came for those who desire only on this life of the world and its adornments.
"Sesiapa yang cenderung kepada dunia, akan menghadapi empat masalah. Masalah kegusaran yang berpanjangan, kesibukan yang tiada sempadan, kekayaan yang tidak dapat dicapai dan dinikmati serta angan-angan yang panjang tanpa kesudahan." (Kitab Zabdah Al-Wai'zin)
It hits me at some points, that really, this work should be only a ladder to get closer to Him, not the other way round.
