Live life as it comes

category : share

Life has a beautiful rhythm and pace. Live it as it comes.

If you try to outrun life, you miss much of its beauty. Instead of racing ahead to cover more ground, see the treasures that are right here and now.

Rather than resenting or regretting what has already happened, focus your thoughts on the good you can do in this moment. There are plenty of opportunities when you choose to see them.

If you're constantly chasing life, the best of it eludes you. Decide to do a little less pursuing and a lot more enjoying.

You cannot do all of this week's breathing, or eating, or sleeping in just one day. There's plenty of time to get everything done if you'll just stop wasting so much effort on jumping ahead.

Seek to live in harmony with the rhythm and flow of life. Live life as it comes, and it will come to you in great abundance.

Selamat jalan Opa

category : general

Saya terbangun pagi ini tepat jam 3 subuh dengan berita duka cita. Opa saya telah "berpulang". Saya kebetulan bulan lalu berada di Manado dan bertemu dengan Opaku. Tidak sangka, kalau itu adalah kali terakhir saya bertemu Opa.

Ketika kemarin pagi saya dapat info kondisi terakhir Opa yang sudah kritis, saya hanya membiarkan rencana TUHAN YESUS saja yang terbaik dan terindah terjadi untuk Opa saya. Tepat dua bulan kedepan, tanggal 13 Mei Opa berumur 90 tahun.

Opa meninggal dunia kira-kira jam 3 subuh (Waktu Indonesia bagian Tengah - WITA). Selamat jalan Opa... Opa pasti tahu Viking sayang Opa... Opa sekarang sudah senang...

Eulogy for My Grandfather

God saw you getting tired
And a cure was not to be,
So He put His arms around you
And whispered "Come with Me."
With tearful eyes we watched you suffer
And saw you fade away.
Although we love you dearly,
We could not make you stay.
A golden heart stopped beating,
Laying loving hands to rest.
God broke our hearts to prove to us
He only takes the best.
(Anon.)

In love with life

category : share

Fall in love again each moment with life. Breathe in the rich, new wondrous possibilities that are continually being born.

Realize what a grand opportunity exists in even the smallest of matters. Today is a day like no other, and you are magnificently blessed to be a part of all that it encompasses.

The wind blows, the sun shines, night falls, and some days bring brutal cold while others offer stifling heat. There is beauty, there is tragedy, and there is exquisite fulfillment along with bitter disappointment.

On the surface, life is filled with much adventure, activity, change, confusion, excitement, joy and frustration. Underlying it all you'll find abiding peace and goodness that can never be denied.

You have the unique, unmatched good fortune of being you, right here and right now. Take a brief moment to realize and remember who you truly are.

Then look out at the vast expanse of possibilities that surrounds you. And dive lovingly into it in your own special way.

Always enough

category : share

Instead of striving to get where you wish to go, simply allow yourself to be there. All that is, is available to you in the moment you're in.

As long as you're trying to understand something, you will fall short. Let go of the desperate need to understand, and you'll find that the understanding is part of you already.

When you think you lack something, that blocks it from your awareness, your experience and your life. Instead of filling your thoughts with what is missing, focus on what is possible.

Relax into the limitless abundance of now. There is always enough, and it is all here for you to allow.

Life's overwhelming richness is mirrored in every little detail. The only thing separating you from that richness is the wall you imagine to be around yourself.

Allow the goodness, the possibilities, the value and joy to fill your life in this moment that is now.

Emerge a winner

category : share

There are some events that you can influence by making intelligent choices and by taking decisive action. There are other events and situations that are completely out of your control.

You have what it takes to successfully deal with both. There's no need to worry endlessly about what the future will bring, for it always brings you new opportunities to make a positive difference.

You can do your very best with those situations that are under your control. And you can adapt and adjust to those situations over which you have little or no influence.

The foolish actions of others can leave you hopelessly frustrated if you allow them to do so. Keep in mind, however, that there's nothing to be gained by working yourself into a knot of frustration and resentment.

Instead, accept whatever comes your way and commit yourself to finding the value in it and making the best of it. With a positive, generous sense of purpose, there's no limit to what you can achieve, even when conditions are less than ideal.

Greet each new day and each new turn of events with confidence and enthusiasm. And you'll emerge a winner no matter what.
