ketenangan untuk menerima apa yang tidak dapat diubah,

dan kebijaksanaan untuk mengetahui perbedaannya.”

State your life mission!

According to one book I read, people should state their life mission.
What you want to reach, what you want to be, or what you want people remember you as a person.
Why?
The easiest reason; just imagine you attend your own funeral.
There are some people would give speech, to tell something about you.
What do you want them to say? Of course you want to hear something good.
But that’s not the only reason why we should state (or have) our mission.
By having it, we’ll know what our aims and what we should do to achieve them in limited times we have.
Time keeps running and it can’t be turned back, unluckily.
For people like me, it could be very useful since I feel that I often waste my times to do un-useful things.
I just don’t want to regret in my old age, that I didn’t do that and this.
For example, I regret that I didn’t push myself to practice swimming when I was in kindergarten.
Just because one drowning experience that made me gave up.

It also could be a private statement where you can write everything in your mind that you want to have or achieve, without influences from anybody.
And I think, ‘Everything in your mind’ here means everything you could (or dare to) imagine.
But of course you should make it rather possible to get..
For instance, visiting great places all over the world,
or maybe asking a gorgeous man like Prince William to marry you.. =)
(please carefully note: it’s “you ask him..” it’s still possible toch?
Rather than to have him asking you to marry him… hihihi… :p)
At the end if we’re lucky, maybe we could find in that state-mission, what our final purpose in life is.

Footprints

One night a man had a dream.

He dreamed he was walking along the beach with the Lord.

Across the sky flashed scenes from his life.

For each scene, he noticed two sets of footprints in the sand :

one belonged to him, and the other to the Lord.
When the last scene of his life flashed before him,

he looked back at the footprints in the sand.

He noticed that many times along the path of his life

there was only one set of footprints.

He also noticed that it happened at the very lowest and saddest times in his life.
This really bothered him and he questioned the Lord about it.

“Lord, you said that once I decided to follow You,

You’d walk with me all the way.

But I have noticed that during the most troublesome times in my life,

there is only one set of footprints.

I don’t understand why when I needed You most You would leave me”.
The Lord replied, “My precious, precious child,

I love you and I would never leave you.

During your times of trial and suffering,

when you see only one set of footprints,

it was then that I carried you“.

Can't live without you

While my mom’s sitting on dentist chair with her mouth opened and laser used by nurse to fix her teeth,
and I waited for the other dentist to have some regular check,
suddenly you’re gone away.
We thought that you only went for a while,
just like you often did,
but we’re wrong this time.
It’s not just you,
but your big family,
or maybe your great great great grandpa and grandma were also gone with you.
You probably didn’t know,
how many people suffered because of you..
Babies in incubators, people in hospitals..
and so many more..
Sorry, I didn’t mean to make you feel guilty..
I know it’s not all your mistake.
Maybe it’s our mistake too,
that we didn’t treat you well.
Pushing you to your maximum ability
without understanding.
We’re sorry..
But please don’t go again..
We just can’t live without you..
We promise to use your power wisely.

Selamat Pagi, Dunia!

Nikmati hidup apa adanya
karena semua berawal dari sana,
yakin segala sesuatu ada waktunya
dan terjadi tepat pada waktu-NYA,
dan akhirnya kita akan tersenyum sambil berkata..
Selamat Pagi, Dunia!

Dingin

Aku ga mau jadi orang yg dingin.
Karena tau bagaimana rasanya didinginkan oleh orang lain.
Lebih baik jadi orang yg hangat saja.
Menyenangkan diri sendiri dan org lain.
