Why I'm here!!

Imagine the life as a swim competition ..

there will be three groups

first group who are great swimmers and they swim fast

second group they not great swimmers ..
some of them swim really slow and some of them barely keep they head out of water ..
and sometimes they even drawn for few seconds ..
but eventually they will reach the end point

and there's the third group who simply can't swim or they terrible swimmers, they never can make it .. and they will drawn eventually

***

there's no doubt the first group are the winners .. and last group are losers ..

but what about the second group? the middle one?

they not winners or losers .. they just happy they still alive.

***

i think that's how i really are ...
i'm just happy that i didn't drawn yet ..
but it seem that I'm missing the point .. isn't the victory is for whom reach first ..

how many times i read in quran:

وَالسَّابِقُونَ السَّابِقُونَ ﴿١٠﴾ أُولَـٰئِكَ الْمُقَرَّبُونَ ﴿١١﴾ سورة الواقعة
And the foremost are the foremost, These will be those Nearest to Allah (10-11 Al-Waqi'a)

it seems i got so busy in life .. that i just forget my purpose in life

and i do nothing than moving in same circle..
i never improved myself, i say same prayer i do in years ..

why i can't improve myself?
and get closer to god ...
isn't that why I'm here?
