This is a great day

category : share

If it seems you're having a difficult day, that's not really the case. Though today you may have experienced certain difficulties up to this point, those difficulties do not have to define the day.

The rest of this day will be what you make it. You can choose right now to make it positive and productive.

Those difficulties and frustrations that had you thinking this was a difficult day can quickly be left behind. You can in fact make this a truly great day.

Take a deep breath, and be sincerely thankful for the experience and the wisdom you've already gained today. Then point your energy in a positive direction.

Choose to make this moment a turning point. Instead of allowing random events to control your attitude, select an attitude that will move you forward.

This is a great day. Beginning right now, you have what it takes to live that reality.

-- Ralph Marston

Do it now

category : share

Things you're always going to do later never do get done. What you put off until someday will always be out of your reach.

If anything is important enough to do someday, then it is worth starting on right now. If you're going to actually do it, then you must do it in the moment you're in.

Procrastination may seem like an easy way to avoid taking action. What it really is, though, is an ever-increasing burden of guilt and regret that you place on yourself.

Think of how awful it feels to know that you could have done, or could be doing, but instead you waited until too late. Fortunately, there is a simple and highly effective way to ease that burden.

Take action now. Choose something that you have continued putting off, and go ahead and get it done.

You've made many great plans and promises. Go ahead, act on them, and see how great it is to make them real.

Beautiful new beginning

category : share

Never before has life held as much promise as it does on this very day. The possibilities open to you right now are more wonderful and abundant than they have ever been.

You may be suffering under the sad illusion that the best days of your life have already come and gone. Choose now to see beyond that self-imposed limiting thought.

Open your eyes to the beautiful truth that the things in your life with real value and meaning never decline or decay. The longer you live with purpose and sincerity, the more intensely you experience true love and joy.

It may seem that your mistakes have been piled on top of mistakes, and that nothing can free you from your burdensome regrets. Yet the freedom you seek is as close as the next moment.

Every beauty you've ever imagined is real, and exists in you right now. Every joy that you've ever glimpsed is yours to live and to express any time you choose.

You stand in this moment at a beautiful new beginning, full of promise and possibility. See it, know it, live it, and allow the joy to flow more abundantly than ever before.

Fail forward

category : share

Failure is not the opposite of success. Failure is an important component of success.

Suppose you set an objective, take action, and then fail to reach that objective on the first attempt. Even though you have experienced a failure, you're in much better shape than you were before you started.

Because you've just learned, in a compelling and meaningful way, what doesn't work. And that puts you well on the way to finding what does work.

The greatest achievements of all time are built upon multiple failures. The greatest achievers are those who are willing to experience failure on their way to the success they know will most certainly come.

No one sets out with the intention of failing. Yet when failure comes, it is nothing to be ashamed of, and no reason to give up.

Learn to see failure as just another step in the process of success. And even when the failures come, they will serve to move you forward.

Free to choose

category : share

You do not have to keep making the same mistakes. You can choose to change.

You do not have to keep being held back by the same fears and insecurities. You have the ability to move forward if you wish.

There is no good reason why you must settle for anything less than the very best that life has to offer. Anything is possible when you put your full commitment and the energy of your life into it.

The past has brought you to where you are, yet it has no power to hold you back. In each moment, you are free to choose your own direction.

Reach within yourself and connect with a guiding purpose that you know is right for you. Allow yourself to fully be the unique and beautiful person you are meant to be.

This day, this moment is a blank canvas upon which you are now able to paint. Fill it with the magnificent splendor that you know is yours to give.

The power of forgiveness

category : share

Inflicting pain on someone else cannot do anything to ease your own pain. When you have been hurt, there is nothing to be gained by passing the hurt on to another.

When others have caused you pain, give forgiveness. Sincere forgiveness is the fastest way to begin moving positively forward again.

Forgiveness does not mean that you agree with or condone whatever has been done. It means that you no longer choose to let those past actions hold you back.

Your willingness to forgive does not mean that you are willing to be hurt again. In fact, forgiveness frees you to take positive steps that will make you stronger and much less vulnerable.

When you feel the desire for revenge, stop and remind yourself that there is a much more powerful response. Forgiveness is the way to put yourself in the best possible position.

Can you find the strength to forgive? Forgive, and you will surely grow stronger.

Ruby On Rails dan WAMPServer

category : buzz , general , news , ruby on rails

Setelah beberapa saat mencoba terus untuk bisa menjalankan aplikasi Ruby On Rails dengan meng-install RoR di WAMP serverku (jalan di windows xp); akhirnya berhasil juga.

Thanks untuk Tutorial "WAMP + RoR Instructions" di Stylegala ini.

Sekarang saya lagi coba-coba beberapa aplikasi RoR yaitu : Radiant CMS, Mephisto, SimpleLog --- dan semuanya berhasil terinstal dengan baik dan berjalan dengan baik di WAMP serverku.

Sebelumnya MovableType sudah *ok* running di WAMP serverku...

Jadi, sekarang untuk "utak-atik" RoR langsung di komputer rumah dulu... kalau sudah ok, untungnya hosting saya sudah mendukung RoR...

Rediscover

category : share

Some of the greatest treasures in your life may be things you set aside long ago. Often it pays to go back and take a look.

A book you read years ago may now hold much more meaning. A friend from whom you once grew apart may now have much more in common with you.

There is a reason why people, places, things and events come into your life. Be careful that you're not too quick to discard them.

The things that interested you in your youth still have a message for you today. They can tell you about who you truly are.

Just because something is old and familiar, does not mean it is irrelevant. Values, passions and purposes grow more robust with time and experience.

You've arrived at this moment carrying a lifetime of valuable treasures. Now is your opportunity to see those treasures in a whole new light.
