The Top 5 Steps To Success

Success is far too often thought of as impossible. The fact is that no matter how far we get in our path to success we always end up further than where we started. Don't wait to better your life. Take these next 5 tips and begin your journey towards your very own success.

1. Decide What You Want

You are not getting anywhere without goals. The important part of putting yourself together for success is figuring out where you are going as opposed to flailing around and letting your resources get away from you. Do some goal setting, both in terms of large goals that are made for a lifetime and small goals that will get you where you there.

2. Who Are You?

Along your journey to success keep in mind that there will be people along the way that don't believe what you are doing is the right thing. Remember that these are their beliefs and not yours. If you start to listen to these people no matter who they are they are always thinking about what's right in their experiences and those experiences may not be whats right for you.

3. Know That You Are In Control

Know that everything that's happened in your life is in your control. Your reaction to a situation is what made you fail and now what will make you succeed. Let the past go and take control of your future.

4. Be Compassionate

When you are in a place where you are dealing with others, it is important to be compassionate. Not only could many people out there use some compassion, you will find that it does you good as well. It makes you more welcoming and more understanding, and it will teach you to let go of anger and to make sure that you can start your life over when you need to. Compassion can be a difficult thing to learn but it is also very important that you try.

5. Be Yourself

Everyone is different in their own way. Realize that you are who you are for some reason. You need to learn to be proud of who you are and what you want. Don't let others bring you down./articlesbase.com

What Do People Think When They See You?

Chances are, it may be something as horrible as nothing. Nothing may sound innocent but don't be fooled; there is a huge danger in nothing. It can travel along with you in everything that you do, speaking not-so-sweet nothings about you.

You may laugh- it sounds odd or even a bit strange when you hear it for the first time. But when you are making your first impressions on your path to success, you come across great opportunities with only a moment to make or break you. And when all you have speaking for you is nothing- it's not a good thing. People make their first and strongest impression of you the moment you come into view. Words are great if and when you are given the opportunity, but pictures speak louder than words and leave that lasting impression. A giant nothing hanging around you isn't very exciting or interesting, and it certainly doesn't inspire respect or confidence. It leaves a lot of doubt and unease.

Image is the critical role that breaks down the doors and makes your introductions for you. It's like having an assistant next to you at all times announcing what you are to the world- and if that assistant is yelling out that you are nothing, it is a very convincing disadvantage. Too often when someone walks into a room, their image is shouting, "Carry on people, nothing to see here- don't waste your time," to everyone around them. In fact, it is the most common statement people are making with their image each and every day.

Getting your assistant, your image, to start speaking in your advantage is not at all difficult to do- and the results will do wonders for you. Imagine having someone announce as you walk into a room, "Attention, this person here is great! You want to hear what he or she has to say- prepare to be amazed!"

This is the power of image. And the role of image is always in action, speaking out for you every single second of the day. It can play in your favor or work against you - you decide your fate. Negligence is the the leading cause of a weak and disadvantageous image and the damages only get worse from there. Image is not to be ignored, those who think they are ignoring it are being ignored themselves. It is time to come out of hiding and accomplish all of your dreams.

[ The #1 most common statement people are thinking- "Carry on people, nothing to see here- don't waste your time." ]

Image is what separates you from the crowds and from the competition. If there is nothing to catch interest, inspire respect, or define confidence then you are setting up an enormous roadblock that is nearly impossible to break down. The simple act of improving your image and maximizing its potential destroys any roadblock and pushes you forward to the very front of the line. Become aware of your image and let it start knocking the doors down for you. When your image announces your greatness to the world every moment of the day, nothing will be able to stop you. Image is the fastest way to get where you want to be. The only thing that can ever stop you in life is yourself- it is up to you to rise to the top. Strengthen your image and let it carry you there./articlesbase.com

Tuliskan Tujuan Hidupmu

Setelah kita melakukan eksplorasi dengan Tuhan dan diri sendiri, tiba waktunya kita menuliskan semua yang sudah kita dapatkan. Buatlah semacam kesimpulan akhir untuk mendapatkan pernyataan tujuan. Ini diperlukan karena Pernyataan tujuan akan mengekspresikan HAL UTAMA yang akan kita lakukan dalam hidup kita. Seorang pemimpin pernah berkata: "80% kegiatan sehari-hari orang yang sukses harus berada di dalam lingkup pernyataan tujuannya."
Ccontoh Pernyataan tujuan:

• Charlie Wetzel (penulis dari buku-buku John C. Maxwell): "Dengan menulis, mengajar, dan menasehati, saya rindu mengekspresikan orang-orang dan menolong mereka menemukan tujuan, mengembangkan hubungan mereka dengan Allah dan menjangkau potensi mereka."
• Yusak Budi Santoso: "Menjadi bapa bagi anak-anak muda yang terpinggirkan."

Dalam menuliskan pernyataan tujuan hidup, kita tidak perlu idealis dan menunggu sempurna melainkan beranikan diri saja untuk menuliskannya. Jangan malu karena sepertinya yang kita dapatkan kok sepele. Ingat, tidak ada yang sepele bagi Tuhan. Jangan takut menuliskan karena yang kita dapatkan sungguh sangat luar biasa. Pede aja lagi!/Budi Abdipatra

What is a Goal?

What do we mean by a 'goal'? It seems that these things are important, yet, so few people have them and some have been woefully misled by the term.

Everyone at some point in their life has heard that it is important for us to have goals. Goals provide you a map to your future, whether in business, life, career or indeed sport. It seems obvious, but a football team playing without a goal to aim for is just kicking a ball around. But, other than the more obvious physical goals as the target of a particular game, what exactly is a goal? And how do you know when you have achieved it? Is it even very important to have goals? A sporting goal is a useful analogy though, here we are more interested in the non-sporting variety.

The OED definition of a goal is "an aim or a desired result".

That's useful, but I prefer the Wikipedia version which defines a goal as "a specific, intended result of strategy."

They amount, ultimately to the same thing: the intended achievement of a desired result. The dictionary definition, however, suggests that the goal exists with or without you.

Why is this important? I hear some question already. Let me share an example: On the horizon is a mountain, its peak visible on this glorious day. It is your goal. You are aiming to reach the peak of this mountain.

According to the dictionary the goal is the mountain peak. According to the encyclopaedia, the intended result is that you reach the mountain peak as a result of the journey (intended strategy) you are making.

What's important, the existence of the goal or the journey to its attainment? Let me refer briefly back to soccer... Is the existence of the goal at the end of the pitch the thing that makes the game, or is it the strategy (and tactics) employed by players to score (reach) the goal?

The reason for being pedantic at this stage is to stress that we refer (in English) to goal as both an entity and as the intended result of our actions. For the purposes of this article, I refer to goal as both - an entity that we are able to describe in one or more of the five senses we enjoy and as a specific, intended result. I believe that it is critical that a goal can be described in one or more of our senses - otherwise we will never know what it is.

"A man without a goal, you are like a ship without a rudder." Thomas Carlyle

You know people, perhaps yourself, who would be lost without a "To Do" list. Daily, weekly, monthly tasks that result in specific intended results. Many people will consider this as their goals. Indeed, you can call them 'goals' if you wish. But I want to distinguish this concept further. I call these daily, weekly, monthly tasks "Outcomes" - they are important steps on the way to achieving goals but they are a small part of the overall intended result.

I'll borrow from my own To Do list for today. It includes, strangely enough, writing this chapter. Now, is my goal to a chapter of mybook? Is it to write a book? I can answer yes to both yet it doesn't tell us the full story - my Goal is to develop my business and as a part of that, I want to reach a wider audience for the purpose of building my brand, building my reputation and establishing myself as a trusted expert that you will now consider to design and run a training programme or undertake coaching in your organisation. This chapter is just one part of that strategy, and this section, just one part of this chapter. The primary and secondary research I've undertaken to be in a position to write, I trust, knowledgeably about goal-setting has been another part... and so on.

It is the goal that helps us determine the appropriate outcomes necessary to reach the goal, the specific outcomes help determine the actions we undertake to achieve them. The whole series together, makes a strategy.

For ease and clarity, I consider a "Goal" to be longer-term and the intended result of a strategy. "Outcomes" are the result of the steps, milestones or activities that we achieve en-route to achieving the goal.

When I was a child, schoolteachers and relatives would often ask "And what do you want to be when you grow up?" I honestly didn't have a clue. My friends seemed to have got the hand of this and I discovered that the expected answers seemed to be focusing around jobs or careers "I want to be a Fireman/Doctor/Train Driver", or perhaps something bolder like "Rock Star/Famous Actor" - or around money... "I want to be a millionaire". Apparently it didn't matter what you wanted to be - it still required that you studied hard, preferably got all A Grades - oh and it was critically important that you "eat all your greens". Quite how Brussels Sprouts are a necessity for success has never been answered fully to my satisfaction. By the time I was a teenager, I was at the "I dunno" stage. And by the time I was choosing my A level subjects it seemed that my options were becoming limited. Artist was ruled out on the recommendation of my delightful art teacher who claimed that my lovingly crafted painting "hurt her eyes" and Author was ruled out because I had little taste for over-analysing Jane Austin's Northanger Abbey.

To my knowledge, none of my friends answered "I wish to be a wage slave pushing paper from one side of a building to another, politically manoeuvring myself into a position of power and authority, attending useless meetings each day and commute for 4 hours" so what went wrong?

Well, perhaps it is the goal-setting process. But, that's another lesson./articlesbase

Are You Afraid of Losing Your Job?

There are people today who are worried about losing their job. With the daily news of downsizing and company failures, many people are becoming afraid that they could become unemployed.

Recently, I have talked to a number of people who have lost their jobs. I have also been talking to people who are afraid of getting fired. There is something that I have shared with both groups.

Someone can take away your job or your current income. While that is certainly something that is very unpleasant, that is all that they can take away from you. They cannot take away who you are or what you can do.

Whenever you leave a job, either by your choice, or the company's choice, you take with you everything that you are and everything that you have. You take all of your experience with you. You take all of the skills and abilities that you have developed. Your discipline and work ethic come with you as well.

No one can ever take any of those things away from you.

For those who have been laid off, that is very important to remember. Being let go for no fault of your own can be hurtful. I know some who are bitter and angry. However, dwelling on the hurt and the emotions does not help one to seek out and find employment. Rather, the focus needs to be on what one has to offer.

That is something that those who are employed also need to remember too. If the day comes when you are let go, you still take with you all that you are and all that you can do.

Other points for anyone tempted to be afraid of losing their job include focusing on what you can control, knowing how to make the company money and expanding your skills at work.

First, remember that there are things that you can control and things you cannot control. Some decisions may be made in a corporate office hundreds of miles away. Some of these things you have no input in and no control over.

Focus on that which you can control. You can control your attitude. You can control the quality of your own individual work and make it the best that it can possibly be. You can, and you should, strive for excellence.

It's sad, but true that many workers have developed a slacker's work ethic. They do just enough to get by. They should have been developing a work ethic that is now needed and in demand.

Secondly, remember that the reason for being hired is to make money for the company. How few recognize that! If they really understood that, it would greatly influence their work ethic.

Thirdly, don't only strive for excellence in what you do; also look for ways to expand your skills. Learn things about other departments. Ask questions, get involved, and, volunteer to help someone else with their job.

Finally, being afraid will shackle you. Fear always keeps someone from freely moving forward. Working with fear will affect your productivity. You will not be able to work peacefully and accomplish all that you really could accomplish without fear.

I can remember specifically on two occasions when I was afraid of being fired. One situation was in the mid 70's and they were downsizing. The fear of getting fired was affecting my work, and I knew it.

The other time was in the early 90's. I was working for a small company and I just knew something was going on. Again, the fear of loosing my job was beginning to affect my performance. Thankfully in both cases, I was able to secure other employment. And, I took all my work ethic, skills and strengths with me.

As long as you are doing the very best that you can, it serves you no purpose to be afraid or worry that you might get fired. That only adds stress and affects your performance. If you think about it, with so much downsizing, in many workplaces, one person now does the work that two or three people did previously. You just cannot afford to have anything affect your performance.

So, refuse to live with fear. Refuse to go to work with fear. Tell fear to take a hike and then pour your heart and soul into what you are doing. Do your very best! Never comprise on a good work ethic. Remember, if you leave, you're taking your work ethic with you.

In the meantime, continue to grow and develop yourself, either in the field you are in, or in some other field. Make yourself more valuable this year than you were last year. Know that you are someone who has a lot to offer, wherever you are employed./articlesbase

Increase Your Happiness

The eternal search for happiness - we want it, but we seem wired more for dissatisfaction. We get something we think will make us happy and soon we're looking for the next thing. Somehow human achievement and happiness don't seem to fit together. If I'm always working to be more, to grow, how can I just be happy?

I struggle with this all the time myself. And I have some ideas that might help.

1.) Stop trying to have it all, do it all, be it all. You can't. You're going to have to decide what you want the most and really go for it. I want freedom and the price is extraordinarily high. Sometimes I pay by being lonely. But to me, freedom is worth it. Know what's really important to you. Let go of the rest. You can't be the world's greatest mother, wife, and businesswoman. Choose one, give it your best. When you're feeling unhappy, you'll have to remind yourself what's really important to you.

2.) Stop comparing yourself to others. This is a losing battle. There will always be someone who has more of something than you do; who is younger, richer, smarter - whatever. People will be hitting the beach soon - will you be having fun or worrying about how much skinner the girl in the red bikini is? Who cares? Are you ever going to see those people again? And guess what? You'll never be younger than you are now - better enjoy it today!

3.) Celebrate what you have. Be glad you can go to the beach. Some people don't have the money, time or physical ability. Some people can't see the sun sparkling on the water, they are blind. Some are deaf and will never hear the waves. Celebrate all you have - being sad about what you don't have is a waste of time.

4.) Make lemonade! Life is going to give you lemons, I guarantee it. What you do with them is what impacts your happiness. Several months ago I was lucky enough to be in a relationship, but things didn't work out. I was sad, but there was nothing I could do about it. I could throw a pity party (two of my last standing single girlfriends got engaged around the same time) or I could make lemonade. I decided to use this as the catalyst to finally book my trip to Australia. Living well is the best route to happiness. Something bad happens, you plan something good.

5.) Don't put your eggs in someone else's basket. Waiting for your spouse, boss, child to do something to make you happy? This is a bad strategy. I usually do something nice for myself on Valentine's Day (see #4), but this year I had a boyfriend, so I figured he would do something. When he didn't, I was sad and disappointed. If I had been responsible for my own happiness, I would have had a great Valentine's Day. Most folks have enough trouble with their own eggs in their own baskets. Look after your own eggs and you'll have a better shot at happiness.

6.) Just do it! Often our unhappiness is caused by something we could fix - a job we could leave, a relationship we could end, a pile of clutter we could clean up, debt we could pay off, etc. But we'd rather agonize over it, worry about it, and let it steal our joy. Sometimes the best course of action is to suck it up and deal with it. Sit down one weekend and clean up the clutter or map out a plan to start paying off the debt and then do it. If you don't, choosing instead the short term pleasure of doing something else or buying something else, the situation usually gets worse and you're more unhappy. Sometimes you have to trade short term pleasure for long term happiness.

And finally, remember that happiness means different things to different people - for some it may be spending time with family, for some it may mean travel, for some work. Know what it means for you and strive to add more of it in your life./articlesbase

Manage Spare Time to Achieve Ultimate Success

Power of Audios

Productivity and time
Dan Kennedy
Using your call as a classroom

I'm reading
a book by Dan Kennedy right now called "No B.S. Time Management For Entrepreneurs The Ultimate No Holds Barred, Kick Butt, Take No Prisoners Guide To Time Productivity & Sanity"

The title is really long, but the book is quite good. It takes you into the world of Dan Kennedy, master marketer and teachers of Millionaires.

One of the things Dan Kennedy talks about was using 'non-productive' time, productively. He suggests you use time search as waiting in traffic, going on car rides, stuck in line etc. as learning time.

This of course means listening to Audio CD's or Mp3's with an Ipod or MP3 Player.

He goes on to say that the top masters and successful people he encountered all have been a student of Audio learning programs.

I myself highly recommend Audio learning programs. I remember back in the day when I was still commuting to work, I would have Anthony Robbins with me on those car rides.

I must of listened to Anthony Robbins audio programs, including, "Lessons in Mastery", "Live With Passion", "Get The Edge" and "Personal Power II" over and over again.

When I worked the night shift at a plastics factory, for 8 hour shifts, I had Anthony Robbins in my ear the whole time.

I could go through one of those audio series in one night.

If you commute to work, you'd be surprised how quickly you can get through these 6-7 CD sets. In one week, or two, you could finish an Audio Program.

Imagine reading 1 book a week, or in 2 weeks about a subject you want to learn more about. Without taking up any extra time or with barely any effort.

If you simply use your commute time for learning, you will be in great shape. What is a skill you want to learn?

You want to learn a new language? Want to fix your personal finance? Want to improve your business?

Repetition is the master of skill. You can listen to the same CD's over and over again until the lessons are ingrained in you.

Simply switching what you are listening to while you are commuting, in your car or in your spare time and you could change your life./articlesbase

How I can memorize English vocabularies

There are three ways how I can memorize English Vocabularies. Actually, memorizing English Vocabularies is not easy for me. I have been learning English for more seven years since I was in Junior High School. I can feel how many words of English Vocabularies that I have memorized till right now.

The first way of memorizing English Vocabularies that I often do is writing down it in a piece of paper or flashcard. It can be easy for me to remember and easy to bring everywhere. I also write down the meaning of the word at the back of the flashcard to ensure me understand what the meaning of the word is. I can also write down one or two English Vocabularies in one flashcard.

The second, I often memorize it from the dictionary directly. I memorize it by creating some sentences from the word that I have just memorized. It will be easier for me to remember the meaning of the word when I create the sentences from that word. I often do this more than writing it down on a flashcard because this is easier for me to remember.

The last way that I often do is recording and saving it on Mobile Phone. This is very simple to do and easy to remember when I almost forget the word. Listening to it is the easiest to memorize from what I have done above. Those ways help me to improve and enrich my English Vocabularies./Wr, Immer

Kantung Empedu - Batu Ginjal

Indikasi awal kanker & tumor biasanya diawali dengan penuhnya kantung empedu dengan batu. Semua orang cenderung empedunya berisi batu, tetapi pada kondisi tertentu akan jadi penyakit, Artikel paling bawah ini telah memberi saya jalan keluar, dimana 4 dokter memastikan saya harus dioperasi. Karena beberapa minggu lalu, saya terkena hepatitis A dan hasil USG ternyata empedu saya penuh dengan batu.

Penuhnya Empedu dengan batu tdk akan kita ketahui dlm keadaan normal, saya baru tahu setelah dokter melakukan USG Hati dan empedu.
Menurut Dokter : Operasi kantung empedu dgn mengangkat kantung empedu dengan operasi besar ataupun laparaskopi. Biaya yang akan kita keluarkan untuk operasi tsb berkisar antara 40-60 juta. (Untuk operasi saja)

Silahkan baca original artikel paling bawah dari Dr Lai Chiu-Nan, bagaimana mengeluarkan batu empedu tanpa operasi dan biaya sangat murah dan tidak merusak tubuh kita. Subhanallah saya telah mengikuti saran beliau dan alhamdulillah batu empedu ku keluar semua tanpa operasi. (Ini bukan detoxinasi, tapi seperti pembersihan perut). Hasil USG saya empedu telah penuh dengan batu, setelah melakukan treatment ini saya meminta USG kembali sebagai bukti. Ternyata benar...kantung empedu saya kosong... Entah bagaimana saya menyampaikan ucapan terimakasih ke Dr Lai Chiu-Nan, tapi saya cuma ingin sharing pengalaman sesuai niat Dr Lai Chiu-Nan membagi pengalaman kepada saudara2 kita dengan gratis.

Saran:
Bagi yang sehat...cobalah, karena saat kita sakit akut ataupun kronis gak enak rasanya. Ini adalah salah satu cara menghindari kanker dan tumor

Fungsi hati dan empedu:
Menetralisir racun di tubuh, Empedu menetralisir lemak yang kita asup ke dalam tubuh. Keduanya saling berkaitan... kalau kedua2nya bersih ...berarti kita telah menyehatkan tubuh kita agar normal fungsi keduanya. Puji Tuhan

Sehat adalah milik kita semua..
Baik sekali apabila kita sekali-kali membersihkan kandung empedu kita.

MENGHILANGKAN BATU EMPEDU SECARA ALAMIAH
oleh Dr Lai Chiu-Nan

Ini telah berhasil bagi banyak orang. Apabila kejadian anda demikian juga, ayolah beritahu pada orang lain. Dr Chiu-Nan sendiri tak memungut biaya untuk informasinya ini, karena itu sebaiknya kita buat ini gratis juga.
Ganjarannya adalah bila ada orang yang karena informasi yang anda berikan menjadi sehat.
Batu empedu tak banyak dirisaukan orang, tapi sebenarnya semua perlu tahu karena kita hampir pasti mengindapnya. Apalagi karena batu empedu bisa berakhir dengan penyakit kanker. "Kanker sendiri tidak pernah muncul sebagai penyakit pertama" kata Dr Chiu-Nan.
"Umumnya ada penyakit lain yang mendahuluinya. Dalam penelitian di Tiongkok saya menemukan bacaan bahwa orang-orang yang terkena kanker biasanya ada banyak batu dalam tubuhnya.
Dalam kantung empedu hampir semua dari kita mengandung batu empedu.
Perbedaannya hanya dalam ukuran dan jumlah saja.. Gejala adanya batu empedu biasanya adalah perasaan penuh di perut ('nek, busung) sehabis makan. Rasanya kurang tuntas mencernakan makanan. Dalam kondisi parah ada tambahan rasa nyeri pada ginjal."
Bila anda menduga ada batu pada empedu anda, cobalah cara yang dianjurkan oleh Dr Chiu Nan untuk menghilangkannya secara alamiah. Pengobatan ini juga dapat dipakai bila ada keluhan gangguan hati, karena hati dan kandung empedu saling berkaitan.
Tata-cara pengobatannya adalah sebagai berikut:

1. Selama limahari berturut-turut minumlah empat (4) gelas sari buah apel segar setiap hari, atau makanlah empat atau limabuah apel segar,
tergantung selera anda. Apel berkhasiat melembutkan batu empedu. Selama
masa ini anda boleh makan seperti biasa.
2. Pada hari ke-enam jangan makan malam. Jam 6 petang, telanlah satu sendok teh "Epsom salt" (magnesium sulfat, garam Inggris??) dengan segelas air hangat. Jam 8 malam lakukan hal yang sama. Magnesium sulfat berkhasiat membuka pembuluh-pembuluh kandung empedu. Jam 10 malam campurkan setengah cangkir minyak zaitun (atau minyak wijen) dengan setengah cangkir sari jeruk segar. Aduklah secukupnya sebelum diminum. Minyaknya melumasi batu2 untuk melancarkan keluarnyabatu empedu.
Keesokan hari Anda akan menemukan batu-batu berwarna kehijauan dalam limbah air besar anda. "Batu-batu ini biasanya mengambang," menurut Dr Chiu-Nan.
"Cobalah hitung jumlahnya. Adayang jumlahnya 40, 50 sampai 100 batu.
Banyak sekali. Tanpa gejala apapun Anda mungkin memiliki ratusan batu yang berhasil dikeluarkan melalui metoda ini, walaupun mungkin tidak semuanya keluar.
Baik sekali apabila kita sekali-kali membersihkan kandung empedu kita.

1. Jenis Apel sebenarnya sama, cuma saya seneng yang manis... Kemaren aku makan Apel RRC yang sering diskon kalau di supermarket harga diskon per 100 gram 800-1000 (biasaya 1600)
2. Minum/makan apel selama 1 hari 4 (rata2) limajuga boleh.
3. Sebelumnya aku minum Jus asli apel. Cuma butuh waktu untuk mebuatnya.
Akhirnya selama 5 hari aku makan apel seger dari kulkas, kulitnya aku buang. Karena apel sekarang banyak yang dikasih lapisan lilin dan terkontaminasi sama pestisida... jadi aku buang kulitya, lalu aku potong kecil..dan dimasukkan ke kulkas...jadi saat kita mau makan, apelnya masih seger dan dingin.
4. Garam Inggris beli di apotik harga Rp2.500 (Tempat obat)
5. Minyak Zaitun kalau kita ke Supermarket namanya Olive Oil, harga 25-30 ribu satu botol. Di Apotek juga ada, aku beli di sanakarena dekat rumah.
Guna Jeruk agar kita tidak muntah saat minum Minyak Zaitun, Jadi aduk yang rata...karena sebelumnya adukanku tidak rata...sehingga eneg, ..lalu aduk lagi biar tercampur dengan rata..karena minyak dan jeruk tidak bersatu atau Berat Jenisnya beda...

Pokoknya Puji Tuhan.. 3 Dokter suruh aku Operasi... dengan treatment ini, keluar batunya.

Mindset menentukan hidupmu

MINDSET? YES!

Mindset merupakan suatu kebiasaan atau sifat sikap mental yang menentukan bagaimana kamu mengartikan dan tanggap terhadap situasi yang ada.

Pemikiranmu menjadi kata-kata, kata-katamu menjadi tindakan dan tindakanmu menjadi tujuanmu. Seseorang sampai kepada hal itu, tapi saya selalu mengingatnya karena hal itu benar. Tindakan kami menunjukkan bagaimana sebenarnya kami dan sedangkal atau sedalam apa karakter kami.

Dimana kamu hari ini merupakan suatu refleksi dari kata-kata, pemikiran dan tindakan yang kamu lakukan hari, bulan dan tahun yang lalu. Tidaklah masalah seberapa banyak orang mempersalahkan orang tua, guru mereka, dimana mereka bertumbuh, TV, pemerintahan atau apapun, kebenarannya adalah tak seorangpun yang mendapati mereka dimana mereka hari itu tapi mereka sendiri. Lebih lama kita memilih untuk tidak bertanggung jawab dengan hidup kita, lebih lama pula kita menjalani hidup yang tak punya makna yang kita tidak cintai.

Saya mendengar seorang berusia 40 tahun yang mengeluh masalah hidup mereka dan tidak bertanggung jawab atas apa yang mereka sudah buat. Sebentar…. Jika kamu berpikir masalah-masalah akhir hidup ini nantinya, kamu keliru dan terlalu malas untuk melakukan sesuatunya dengan hal itu.

Berpikir sederhana saja dengan gambar yang kamu sudah lihat di TV. Disaat saya mulai marah karena harus antri berdiri dibelakang dua orang pada toko sembako, saya mengingatkan diri saya kalau banyak orang bahkan tidak tahu dimana makanan mereka dating malam ini. Hal ini merubah saya dari amarah menjadi rasa bersyukur.

Selanjutnya kamu perhatikan diri kamu sendiri disaat frustrasi atau marah tentang sesuatu dalam kehidupan kamu. Saya mengajak kamu untuk merubah perhatian kamu terhadap hal-hal yang besar didalam kehidupan kamu sendiri. Tidak masalah jika kamu berpikir bahwa kamu tidak punya cukup uang atau kamu marah terhadap anjing kamu karena mengunyah sepatu. Ingat berapa banyak kasih yang kamu dapatkan dalam memiliki anjing di tempat pertama dan pendapatan mingguan kamu lebih banyak dari pada beberapa orang yang berpenghasilan dalam sebulan atau setahun.

Tetap fokus atas apa yang sedang bekerja – untuk kamu dan untuk orang lain. Kita diserang dengan masukan negative sepanjang hari. Kita harus perhatikan apa yang masuk karena mata pencaharian kita tergantung atas apa yang kita keluarkan dengan kreatif. Kepala kita harus penuh dengan inspirasi yang positif atau tempat yang kosong dimana kita bisa bermimpi akan sesuatu.

Suatu penyelidikan baru-baru ini mengungkapkan bahwa orang-orang yang paling banyak menonton berita di TV adalah orang-orang yang paling takut dalam masyarakat kita. Kejahatan telah menurun di Amerika selama lebih satu decade, tapi sejak berita-berita berfokus terhadap hal itu dan mengulangnya berulang kali, banyak orang menerima pesan atau berpikir bahwa dunia tidak lagi aman. Orang-orang ini berakhir menjadi kurang percaya dan kurang berhasil sebagai hasil dari lumpuh secara emosi terhadap tingkat ketakutan mereka.

Ingat pepatah tua“Masuk sampah, Keluar sampah”? Jika kamu diminta tampil di TV yang didasarkan pada seseorang, hari ini kamu akan menjadi ‘Jerry Springer’ atau ‘Oprah?’

Ohh… saya tahu. Barangkali kamu tertawa dan terkekeh-kekeh saat ini

Kenyataannya, saya dapat melihat pertanyaannya nampak ketidakpercayaan pada wajah kamu.

Bahkan mungkin kamu berpikir bahwa kamu tidak akan menjadi salah satunya. Bayangkan saja kalau ada seorang anak muda di depan pintu kamu dan dia akan menempatkan kamu di limo saat ini dan kamu harus memilih satu pertunjukan atau yang lain untuk menjadi tamu atau kamu akan di kurung di rumah selama satu bulan. (Itu hal yang lucu, tapi kamu dapat intinya, saya ingin kamu memasukinya)

Ada perbedaan yang pasti antara para tamu ‘Oprah’ dan ‘Jerry’. Para tamu ‘Oprah’ memancarkan kepercayaan dan telah bertanggung jawab atas hidup mereka dan telah menciptakan limun dari jeruk. Para tamu ‘Jerry’ memancarkan jati diri yang rendah dan berpikir kalau mereka adalah para korban kehidupan. Bahkan lebih muruk, mereka berpikir kalau mereka memiliki hak untuk menimbulkan sikap kekalahan diri yang negative terhadap orang lain.

Orang-orang ‘Oprah’ tahu kalau mereka kreatif hingga akhir hidup mereka

Orang-orang ‘Jerry’ memilih untuk berpikir menerima hidup apa adanya. Dan kebenarannya adalah apa yang mereka yakini yang akan mereka dapatkan. Itu merupakan polisi gampangan yang keluar dalam mengatasi sesuatu dan banyak rakyat yang malah melakukannya.

Penting untuk menjaga sikap mental yang positif, tidak masalah seperti apa hidup kamu karena tidak ada yang lebih penting dari pada pemikiran kamu. Mereka menentukan bagaimana kamu mengalami menit, jam, hari, minggu, tahun, decade dan abad yang akan dating. Luputkan hidup kamu dari orang-orang dan keadaan yang tidak menginspirasi dan meramaikan kamu.

Sungguh hidup terlalu singkat untuk membangun sandiwara yang membingungkan dan para pengeluh yang tidak pernah mengubah sesuatu

Kita semua melemparkan ungkapan kemana-mana mengenai bagaimana hidup terlalu singkat, tapi kita tidak hidup dengan cara itu. Ambil sedikitnya satu tindakan hari ini untuk menguatkan bahwa kamu sedang menciptakan suatu kehidupan yang kamu cintai.

Hindari teman yang menghabiskan tenaga kamu. Baca autobiografi orang yang menginspirasi kamu. Matikan TV dan tuliskan tujuan-tujuan dan nilai-nilai yang bermakna dalam hidup kamu. Cobalah jalan-jalan di alam luas dengan seorang teman yang mendukung hal-hal yang terbaik dalam kamu. Tuliskan surat buat seseorang yang telah mempengaruhi hidup kamu dengan cara yang positif untuk mereka tahu kalau kamu punya mereka sebagai orang-orang yang berpengaruh didalam hidup kamu. Gosok perut anjing kamu dan perhatikan senyumannya yang sangat menggembirakan yang datang untuk menyambut kamu.

Kamu sedang membangun masa depat yang luar biasa. Pelajari orang-orang yang sukses dan kamu akan memperhatikan disekeliling mereka sendiri orang-orang lain yang berhasil dan menginspirasi mereka. Hidupmu adalah pertunjukamu, yang memilih untuk menjadi seorang ‘Oprah’ dan yang mengindari orang-orang ‘Jerry’ yang muncul dalam kehidupan kamu. Atau masih lebih baik, hilangkan Orang-orang ‘Jerry’ yang kamu temui seperti mereka seorang ‘Oprah’ yang terkubur dibagian dalam mereka sehingga kita semua dapat bersinar bersama-sama

Biarkan sikap mental positif yang ada dalam diri kamu mempengaruhi setiap orang yang kamu temui dan kita semua akan menikmati hidup yang lebih baik./Tr, Immer

Cerita Kehidupan setelah menikah

Lima tahun usia pernikahanku dengan Ellen sungguh masa yang sulit. Semakin hari semakin tidak ada kecocokan diantara kami. Kami bertengkar karena hal-hal kecil. Karena Ellen lambat membukakan pagar saat aku pulang kantor. Karena meja sudut di ruang keluarga yang ia beli tanpa membicarakannya denganku, bagiku itu hanya membuang uang saja.

Hari ini, 27 Agustus adalah ulang tahun Ellen. Kami bertengkar pagi ini karena Ellen kesiangan membangunkanku. Aku kesal dan tak mengucapkan selamat ulang tahun padanya, kecupan di keningnya yang biasa kulakukan di hari ulang tahunnya tak mau kulakukan. Malam sekitar pukul 7, Ellen sudah 3 kali menghubungiku untuk memintaku segera pulang dan makan malam bersamanya, tentu saja permintaannya tidak kuhiraukan.

Jam menunjukkan pukul 10 malam, aku merapikan meja kerjaku dan beranjak pulang. Hujan turun sangat deras, sudah larut malam tapi jalan di tengah kota Jakarta masih saja macet, aku benar-benar dibuat kesal oleh keadaan. Membayangkan pulang dan bertemu dengan Ellen membuatku semakin kesal! Akhirnya aku sampai juga di rumah pukul 12 malam, dua jam perjalanan kutempuh yang biasanya aku hanya membutuhkan waktu 1 jam untuk sampai di rumah.

Kulihat Ellen tertidur di sofa ruang keluarga. Sempat aku berhenti di hadapannya dan memandang wajahnya. “Ia sungguh cantik” kataku dalam hati, “Wanita yang menjalin hubungan denganku selama 7 tahun sejak duduk di bangku SMA yang kini telah kunikahi selama 5 tahun, tetap saja cantik”. Aku menghela nafas dan meninggalkannya pergi, aku ingat kalau aku sedang kesal sekali dengannya.

Aku langsung masuk ke kamar. Di meja rias istriku kulihat buku itu, buku coklat tebal yang dimiliki oleh istriku. Bertahun-tahun Ellen menulis cerita hidupnya pada buku coklat itu. Sejak sebelum menikah, tak pernah ia ijinkan aku membukanya. Inilah saatnya! Aku tak mempedulikan Ellen, kuraih buku coklat itu dan kubuka halaman demi halaman secara acak.

14 Februari 1996. Terima kasih Tuhan atas pemberianMu yang berarti bagiku, Vincent, pacar pertamaku yang akan menjadi pacar terakhirku.

Hmm… aku tersenyum, Ellen yakin sekali kalau aku yang akan menjadi suaminya.

6 September 2001, Tak sengaja kulihat Vincent makan malam dengan wanita lain sambil tertawa mesra. Tuhan, aku mohon agar Vincent tidak pindah ke lain hati.

Jantungku serasa mau berhenti…

23 Oktober 2001, Aku menemukan surat ucapan terima kasih untuk Vincent, atas candle light dinner di hari ulang tahun seorang wanita dengan nama Melly. Siapakah dia Tuhan? Bukakanlah mataku untuk apa yang Kau kehendaki agar aku ketahui…

Jantungku benar-benar mau berhenti. Melly, wanita yang sempat dekat denganku disaat usia hubunganku dengan Ellen telah mencapai 5 tahun. Melly, yang karenanya aku hampir saja mau memutuskan hubunganku dengan Ellen karena kejenuhanku. Aku telah memutuskan untuk tidak bertemu dengan Melly lagi setelah dekat dengannya selama 4 bulan, dan memutuskan untuk tetap setia kepada Ellen. Aku sungguh tak menduga kalau Ellen mengetahui hubunganku dengan Melly..

4 Januari 2002, Aku dihampiri wanita bernama Melly, Ia menghinaku dan mengatakan Vincent telah selingkuh dengannya. Tuhan, beri aku kekuatan yang berasal daripadaMu.

Bagaimana mungkin Ellen sekuat itu, ia tak pernah mengatakan apapun atau menangis di hadapanku setelah mengetahui aku telah menghianatinya. Aku tahu Melly, dia pasti telah membuat hati Ellen sangat terluka dengan kata-kata tajam yang keluar dari mulutnya. Nafasku sesak, tak mampu kubayangkan apa yang Ellen rasakan saat itu.

14 Februari 2002, Vincent melamarku di hari jadi kami yang ke-6. Tuhan apa yang harus kulakukan? Berikan aku tanda untuk keputusan yang harus kuambil.

14 Februari 2003, Hari minggu yang luar biasa, aku telah menjadi Nyonya Alexander Vincent Winoto. Terima kasih Tuhan!

18 Juli 2005, Pertengkaran pertama kami sebagai keluarga. Aku harap aku tak kemanisan lagi membuatkan teh untuknya. Tuhan, bantu aku agar lebih berhati-hati membuatkan teh untuk suamiku.

7 April 2006, Vincent marah padaku, aku tertidur pulas saat ia pulang kantor sehingga ia menunggu di depan rumah agak lama. Seharian aku berada mall mencari jam idaman Vincent, aku ingin membelikan jam itu di hari ulang tahunnya yang tinggal 2 hari lagi. Tuhan, beri kedamaian di hati Vincent agar ia tidak marah lagi padaku, aku tak akan tidur di sore hari lagi kalau Vincent belum pulang walaupun aku lelah.

Aku mulai menangis, Ellen mencoba membahagiakanku tapi aku malah memarahinya tanpa mau mendengarkan penjelasannya. Jam itu adalah jam kesayanganku yang kupakai sampai hari ini, tak kusadari ia membelikannya dengan susah payah..

15 November 2007, Vincent butuh meja untuk menaruh kopi di ruang keluarga, dia sangat suka membaca di sudut ruang itu. Tuhan, bantu aku menabung agar aku dapat membelikan sebuah meja, hadiah Natal untuk Vincent.

Aku tak dapat lagi menahan tangisanku, Ellen tak pernah mengatakan meja itu adalah hadiah Natal untukku. Ya, ia memang membelinya di malam Natal dan menaruhnya hari itu juga di ruang keluarga.

Aku sudah tak sanggup lagi membuka halaman berikutnya. Ellen sungguh diberi kekuatan dari Tuhan untuk mencintaiku tanpa syarat. Aku berlari keluar kamar, kukecup kening Ellen dan ia terbangun… “Maafkan aku Ellen, Aku mencintaimu, Selamat ulang tahun…” (ts)

Jika manusia bisa mencintai pasangannya tanpa syarat. Bayangkan, bagaimana besarnya cinta Tuhan kepada kita yang adalah ciptaanNya… anakNya… sahabatNya… saudaraNya… sehingga Ia memberikan AnakNya yang kekasih untuk mati di kayu salib bagi kita.
