Waiting

Image
By
If I don’t actually care about what I’m doing, it’s very unlikely that it will ever happen. I have a very low zero tolerance for doing things I don’t like to do. It’s pretty much impossible for me these days. I have to be constantly making sure that what I’m doing is in alignment with my reason why and relates to my long-term vision. Without that, what I’m doing right now has no context. 
 
Then it occurred to me that the very process of waiting might be like a fire under one’s arse. If it were a chemical reaction, waiting would be the catalyst. Because nothing will make a person try harder, and think bigger, than the hard-core impotence of waiting.  

Personally, patience is something I’ve been cultivating for a long time. And while I often fail, I believe I’ve progressed over the years, and things that used to get me hot and bothered now just float past me. I still get upset, of course, but not nearly as much as I used to. And I remember this: Anything worthwhile and of importance cannot take place right away. It takes time, dedication and effort to achieve; so even in this day and age, patience is a virtue. 
 
Time waits for no one and unless you know how to manage it well, you’d end up missing opportunities as they happen. While there would be instances when you need to slow down, finding ways to manage wait times becomes critical in determining whether what you’re doing is taking a short break or wasting precious time.

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.

Pilot: The Beginning of The End

Have you ever think for once that life is short? Even though it's the longest we ever experience Or the more time we have, the more time there is to waste? As counter intuitive as it sounds, if life lasted forever we might never get around to asking someone out on a date, writing a journal, or traveling around the world, because there will always be tomorrow.

Takut di Laut

By Anonymous
Salah satu cita—citaku adalah u ntuk tinggal di atas laut berhari-hari. Tak perlu naik kapal pesiar yang super mahal itu, karena itu menyebabkan aku kebal ombak. Aku ingin merasakan badai yang mengguncang tanpa ampun. Membuatku tersiram air garam basah dan tak ada pilihan. Merasakan keputusasaan terombang-ambing karena sebenarnya perjalanan masih panjang atau tiba-tiba bisa berhenti saat itu juga.

Nasionalisme itu gimana?

By Anonymous
Aku tak yakin kapan terakhir kali mendengarkan lagu Indonesia Raya. Dan ya, aku yakin aku akan menukar-nukar liriknya tanpa sadar. Selama 11 tahun upacara bendera dan acara formal lainnya, juga bisa dihitung hanya berapa kali aku memejamkan mata, itupun karena kepanasan.
