Fortune

I have a friend, she's a mother of two.  She used to be my co-worker at my office.  Until several days ago, she steadied her heart and officially left her job to become a full time mother.

And I love her bold move.

I believe, it's not easy to be a full time mother, especially on her shoes.  For sure, she used to have a stable income making her join income with his husband quite a fortune.  And those fortune, shall be decrease by a half in the moment she quit her job.  But she faces it bravely, saying that her fortune ain't solely measured by cash, since a pair of children is ultimately the biggest fortune a mother could have.

One thing that made me even more adore her, was her speech at her farewell party.  She simply wished, that whenever we conduct our job at the office, we should never forget our basic responsibility to our family.  Yes, it's true that your job shall give you more money to support your family well-being.  But don't forget that it costs lots of our time, being away from our beloved children.  And money couldn't replace the time your children spent without having your presence on their side. 

I'm not going to judge on her point of view for prioritizing her family, since it's her choice - because for some other people, having more money seems like a better option to fulfill their children's needs.  Instead, it gave me a whole new respective of fortune.  Because all we need to believe is that the Almighty God shall never forsake us.  Especially when we've lived our life according to the Almighty God's rules.

At least, especially for me, never forget to intent my job as one of my worship to the Almighty God.  And who know, someday, I'm gonna follow her path, to leave this hectic routine, and devote my life for my children.  Soon.  Insya Allah..
