To go and not to go

What’s the hardest decision you’ve ever had to make? Why?

For years, I had avoided events like these. Activism and campaigns weren’t my thing—not because I didn’t care, but because I felt disconnected from them. Yet, the “Save the Soil” movement kept finding its way into my life. No matter where I went or what I did, it was there, flashing persistently on my phone, in YouTube ads, and even in the music videos I watched. The message was everywhere, as though the universe refused to let me ignore it.

At first, I brushed it off. Why should I go? What difference could I make? But the more I prayed, exercised, and tried to focus on my daily life, the more I felt a strange pull—a force beyond logic, gently nudging me to take action. It was as if a higher source was calling me, urging me to step out of my comfort zone. Finally, after years of avoidance, I made the hardest decision: I decided to go.

The moment I committed, everything fell into place. It’s a strange fact of life—when you surrender to divine faith, the universe conspires to guide you to something greater. I felt a shift within me, an elevation of energy. I realized that this wasn’t just about saving soil; it was about saving myself, about raising my own vibration to a higher level and contributing to a collective purpose.

I went without knowing what to expect, choosing to go with the flow of the moment. The day began with a briefing, a gathering of like-minded individuals whose enthusiasm was contagious.

Together, we set off, a wave of people moving with purpose. From bustling Petaling Street to Jalan Bandar, we passed through Central Market and finally arrived at Merdeka Square, before returning to our starting point.

It wasn’t just a walk; it was a journey fueled by energy—an unstoppable wave of people spreading awareness, inviting others to join. Strangers became friends, voices united in a single cause. As we moved through the streets, I could feel the flow of this collective energy, touching lives, creating ripples of change.

The experience was profound. It wasn’t just about soil or sustainability; it was about connection, purpose, and the realization that even small actions can ignite a movement. For the first time in a long while, I felt truly alive, part of something far greater than myself.

I came home with a renewed spirit and a determination to keep riding this wave of positive energy. The Save the Soil movement taught me that taking action, no matter how small, can create boundless opportunities for growth—not just for the world, but for myself.

And so, I’ll continue this journey. Because when we align with a higher purpose, we not only transform the world around us but also discover the limitless potential within.
