Life returns the favor

category : share

When you encounter resistance, it means you are moving forward. When you come across a challenge, it means you have reached the point where you can successfully meet that challenge.

Life becomes more rewarding as it becomes more demanding. You are destined to achieve, and each successive achievement positions you for an even greater, more challenging achievement.

Each new challenge is an opportunity to stretch beyond your previous limits. Most of the advantages you enjoy today were born in the difficulties through which you traveled in days past.

Every day brings a new way for you to more fully give of yourself. It is by so giving, in ways that are familiar and in ways not yet imagined, that you create the life you most sincerely desire.

In everything there is treasure to be found. The richest treasures are those that ask the most of you, for they resonate wholly with your deepest purpose.

Delight in the living beauty of each challenging effort. Give your best to life and life returns the favor, a million times over.

Calm your mind

category : share

You can choose your thoughts. And you can choose, for a while, to be free of those thoughts.

Serenity does not require any particular environment or conditions on the outside. Serenity is a state you can achieve on the inside, whatever else might be going on.

At any time, you can choose to calm your mind. Clear your thoughts away and for a while, feel the refreshing and renewing peace of simply being.

Discover how easy it can be to let go of the thoughts racing through your head, and let in a feeling of serenity. Choose to put yourself in a state where even the distractions cannot affect you.

See that the disappointments of the past are far, far away. Let your peaceful, accepting experience of the moment fill you with a solid, confident energy.

Step back for a little while and feel the calm reality of who you are, of the life you are living. Enjoy a serene moment, and your eyes will be opened to the positive possibilities that are all around you.

The trap of anger

category : share

Your anger hurts you much more than it affects anyone else. When your energy and awareness are tightly wrapped around anger, you're not much good for anything else.

There are many things beyond your control that can be perfectly legitimate reasons for anger. Yet the amount of time you maintain that anger is completely up to you.

The more quickly you move on, the better off you'll be. When you feel the first sensation of anger, let that be a reminder to let it go.

Anger can be useful in calling your attention to matters that require your response. But anger itself is not an effective response.

Take a slow, deep breath and remind yourself of how much more effective you can be by maintaining a positive, results-oriented approach. Decide, in a cool, calm and thoughtful manner, exactly what response would be the most powerful and valuable, and then make it happen.

Don't let the foolish, thoughtless, destructive actions of others catch you in a trap of anger. Take note of the anger, let it go, put your focus on being your best, and you'll surely emerge as a winner.

Strengthening your beliefs

category : share

To strengthen your beliefs and assumptions, challenge them regularly. You'll rid yourself of those outdated assumptions that hold you back, while at the same time strengthening those valuable beliefs that can move you forward.

There is no doubt that challenge builds strength. It is a key theme of life.

Muscles that are challenged to lift heavier and heavier loads become stronger as a result of the training. Minds that are challenged to solve more and more difficult problems become increasingly adept from the experience.

Questioning and challenging your beliefs can transform them from mere beliefs into absolute certainties. The willingness to challenge a belief demonstrates your commitment to, and confidence in that belief.

By being your own most effective skeptic, you add real depth and substance to your beliefs, perspectives and assumptions. By continuing to ask why and why not, you learn much and grow stronger.

When you challenge your beliefs, you compel yourself to make them a reality. You transform them from vague concepts into living, breathing certainties upon which you can build great value.

Install MT 4.1 di Windows XP

category : blog , cms , css , general , movabletype 4 , news , tutorial

Ternyata meng-install MovableType di Windows XP lebih mudah sekarang...

Sebelum mulai... kita siapkan ini dulu ya :
* Movable Type version 4.1b3-en with: Professional Pack 1.1 download
* WAMPserver 1.7.3 download
* Windows XP SP2
* ActivePerl 5.10.0 download

Asumsi awal:
Di komputermu, Kamu hanya punya 1 harddisk ya...

Langkah-langkah:
01. Install WAMPServer nya dulu... (versi 2.0 juga bisa)
Saran di install di directory : c:\wamp\

02. Install ActivePerl
Harus di Directory : c:\usr\

[Check] Add Perl to the PATH environment variable
[Check] Create Perl file extension association

** Edit di WAMPServer config files httpd.conf sesuai di bawah ini:
a. cari Options Indexes FollowSymLinks --> rubah ke Options Indexes FollowSymLinks ExecCGI
b. cari #AddHandler cgi-script .cgi --> hapus tanda # dan rubah ke AddHandler cgi-script .cgi .pl

** Install via PPM - Perl Package Manager (dijalankan via command line dengan mengetik ppm): install packages DBI & DBD-mysql
catatan: kalau di repository standard tidak ada DBD-mysql coba tambahkan repository address ini : http://cpan.uwinnipeg.ca/PPMPackages/10xx/package.lst dan http://www.bribes.org/perl/ppm/package.xml

Realign Website Ini

category : blog , buzz , cms , css , freelancing , general , news , webpm

Wow... cukup lama dan belum juga usai proses Realign Website vikingkarwur.com untuk "menyegarkan mata" para visitor situs ini...

Coba lihat screenshoot dibawah ini:

Ini adalah "Rommel Edition (RE)"...

Ini perkembangan dari "RE" realign part 1

Ini perkembangan dari "RE" realign part 2

Ini perkembangan dari "RE" realign part 3

Sampai pada RE realign part 3, saya juga belum cukup puas dengan tampilan-nya... Yang pasti untuk desain baru akan mengunakan TextPattern / MovableType... Pastinya juga mengunakan BluePrint CSS Framework...

Saya mencoba untuk menyelesaikan Website ini bertepatan dengan Ultah saya di Bulan Depan...

Goodness prevails

category : share

In the darkest darkness, love is more magnificent than ever. In the deepest sadness, hope has the strength to create anything.

When the whole world is against you, every positive action can bring miraculous results. When the burden of being is unbearably heavy, the spirit can fly to infinite heights.

If all is lost, there is no end to what can be gained. Completely let go of everything, and you surely do have it all.

The more confusing and noisy and complicated the world becomes, the more power there is in stillness. When the day is filled with harshness, gentle actions grow more powerful and effective.

In a world filled with fear, truth gains new clarity. In a time of severe discontent, the possibilities for real joy grow ever greater.

At the deepest level, goodness always prevails. For truth by its very nature will not be denied.
