Let's Grow and Go

As human beings (or innate wrong-being), we (will always) have a tendency to look at ourselves through the wrong kind of lens. We create perceptions of who we are, and what we have to offer, based on a vision of ourselves that is often centered around our faults. It's fair though.
Far too often I hear someone refer to themselves as not being good enough for another human being. This always confuses, and deeply saddens me, because I unconditionally believe that we are all good enough for one another, and there is only one reason why.
You are good enough because you house within yourself a heart that beats deeply and feels without question. You are good enough because that beating heart gives you the ability to love someone in the most profound way.
And that is all that matters.
You are good enough to other people (who-says-youre-not-good-enough) because you have within you this radiant ability to care. You are good enough to them because you have within you this overwhelming ability to feel. Stop using your mind to convince yourself otherwise, and give all of that burden, all of that doubt, all of that judgment to your heart, for it is the strongest thing you have within yourself.
You can be good enough because of what you have.
We can be good enough because of what we have.
If ever you find yourself driving in the speedway and there's a bifurcation, you can't suddenly stop at the junction. You must know your destination. You must aware of your progress. You must be alarmed with the signs that lead you to your purpose of traveling. You just cant be indecisive when it matters. You can't choose the speedway when you don't know where to go, it will only burden you. Yes you may have shorter route and smarter way, but the way to get you back on track often (and most of the time!) only obstruct you if you don't know where to go.
To think of it, we will definitely do wrong all the time. But the question is are we have the intention to  mend those wrongness and grow?
By grow, I mean to try being better all the time. Grow is about continuous improvement. To give your best shot at a time and give your better best in the next time. Grow is reevaluate your way of thinking. Grow is having bigger bone and stronger nerve. Grow is do something new every period of a time. Growing, is living. If you're not evolving, you don't have a life.
And to have closure, I'd like to paraphrase Confucius for it does not matter how slowly you go as long as you do not stop. Let's gear up and go!

First of all. Sorry it took some times for the post. Both contributor had to span holidays and we agreed to postpone our writing for the next deadline. So here I am. Writing (dedicated to this blog) for the first time in 2k16.

Notulensi Majelis Ilmu Jogokariyan : Burung dan Semut #Part1

Untuk pertama kalinya, saya akan mengangkat topik mengenai apa yang saya percaya disini. Meski sudah seyogyanya tiap apa yang kita lakukan berlandaskan percaya, pengangkatan topik yang baru sekarang ini tidak lain tidak bukan merupakan pembuka atas semua tulisan. Penjelasan bahwasanya segala yang saya lakukan (termasuk menulis disini) sebenarnya merupakan implementasi kepercayaan yang saya yakini. Hasil paling akhir dari sebuah proses percaya dan berpikir. Percaya tidak ada apa apanya bukan apabila hanya diamini dalam dada tanpa aksi nyata.

Pengingat untuk Revisi Proposal

Terima kasih kepada panic attack yang tahu diri sudah muncul 3 hari sebelum hari H. Terima kasih atas reaksi yang keluar dari hasil reaksi adenosin tri fosfat pada tengah malam. Terima kasih telah menjaga saya dalam misi revisi latar belakang proposal!

Scene 2

                Dia paham disana ada semua yang dicarinya. Disapukannya jemari lentik berwarna nude itu ke antara buku-buku yang disampul plastik rapi. Entah, hari ini dia berakhir tertegun di rak huruf S. Dipandanginya barisan buku itu tanpa ampun. Bukan dia hendak memilih, bukan, dia hanya memastikan tidak ada yang terbalik penempatannya.
