Quote of the day

The two hardest tests on the spiritual road
are the patience to wait for the right moment
and the courage not to be disappointed
with what we encounter.

(Veronika decides to Die by Paulo Coelho)

How to Climb Mountains

Choose the mountain you want to climb
Don't be influenced by what other people say: 'that one's prettier' or 'that one looks easier'. You are going to put a lot of energy and enthusiasm into achieving your objective, and you are the only person responsible for your choice, so be quite sure about what you are doing.

Find out how to reach the mountain
Often you can see the mountain in the distance - beautiful, interesting, full of challenges. However, when you try to reach it, what happens? Its surrounded by roads; forests lie between you and your objective; and what seems clear on the map is far more complicated in reality. So you must try all the paths and tracks until, one day, you find yourself the peak you intend to climb.

Learn from someone who has been there before
However unique you may think you are, there is always someone who has had the same dream before, and who will have left signs behind that will make the climb less arduous: the best place to attach a rope, trodden paths, branches broken off to make it easier to pass. It is your climb and it is your responsibility too, but never forget that other people's experiences are always helpful.

Dangers, seen from close to, are controllable
When you start to climb the mountain of your dreams, pay attention to that is around you. There are, of course, precipices. There are almost imperceptible cracks. There are stones polished so smooth by rain and wind that they have become as slippery as ice. But if you know where you are putting your foot, you will see any traps and be able to avoid them.

The landscape changes, so make the most of it
You must, naturally, always keep in mind your objective reaching the top. However, as you climb, the view changes, and there is nothing wrong with stopping now and then to enjoy the vista. With each metre you climb, yu can see a little further, so take time to discover things you have never noticed before.

Respect your body
You will only manage to climb a mountain if you give your body the care it deserve. You have all the time that life gives you, so do not demand too much from your body. If you walk too quickly, you will grow tired and give up halfway. If you walk too slowly, night might fall and you will get lost. Enjoy the landscape, drink the cool spring water, and eat the fruit that nature so generously offers you, but keep walking.

Respect your soul
Don't keep repeating, 'I'm going to do it', your soul knows this already. What it needs to do is to use this long walk in order to grow, to reach out as far as the horizon, to touch the sky. Obsession will not help you in the search for your goal, and will end up spoiling the pleasure of the climb. On the other hand, don't keep repeating 'it's harder than I thought', because that will sap your inner strength.

Be prepared to go the extra mile
The distance to the top of the mountain is always greater than you think. There is bound to come a moment when what seemed close is still very far away. But since you are prepared to go still further, this should not be a problem.

Be joyful when you reach the top
Cry, clap your hands, shout out loud that you made it; let the wind (because it is always windy up there) purify your mind, cool your hot, weary feet, open your eyes, blow the dust out of your heart. What was once only a dream, a distant vision, is now part of your life. You made it, and that is good.

Make a promise
Now that you have discovered a strength you did not even know you had, tell yourself that you will use it for the rest of your days; promise yourself, too, to discover another mountain and set off on a new adventure.

Tell your story
Yes, tell your story. Be an example to others. Tell everyone that it's possible, and then others will find the courage to climb their own mountains.

Tha I Would be Good

That I would be good even if I did nothing
That I would be good even if I got the thumbs down
That I would be good if I got and stayed back
That I would be good even I gained ten pounds

That I would be fine even if I went bankrupt
That I would be good if I lost my hair and my youth
That I would be great if I was not longer queen
That I would be grand if I was not all-knowing

That I would be loved even when I numb myself
That I would be good even when I am overwhelmed
That I would be loved even when I was fuming
That I would be good even if I was clingy

That I would be good even if lost sanity
That I would be good
whether with or without you

Inspire song by Alanis Morissette

Perempuan itu kini kembali pada titik NOL.....

Perempuan itu kini terjatuh lagi...terjatuh pada titik nol lagi...ya titik nol.
Titik nol....pada sebuah kepercayaan sosok yang di namakan "laki-laki"
Titik nol....pada sebuah kejujuran dan kebohongan, yang sangat samar untuk bisa membedakannya
Titik nol....pada sebuah kesetiaan cinta
Titik nol....pada apa yang dinamakan kebaikan dalam 'agama'
Titik nol....pada sebuah keinginan

Entah ini sebuah takdir yang selalu di lekatkan pada nya atau memang Allah sangat sayang kepada perempuan itu sehingga cobaan yang sama selalu di kirimkan padanya....cobaan yang sama ...hampir sama.

Perempuan itu hanya bisa bengong sambil mengisap rokoknya dalam-dalam.....
Allah dan rokok 'Mild - Menthol' yang setia menemani perempuan itu ketika dia tiba di titik NOL....

Akan kah si perempuan itu kembali lagi ke titik SATU...DUA...TIGA...bahkan sampai kesempurnaan titik SERATUS....dan menjalankan takdir selanjutnya yang di kirimkan Allah kepada nya?
