Waiting

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.

Bagaimana kita mencerna berpengaruh terhadap kualitas aksi yang kita lakukan. Apa yang menjadi asupan kita bertindak sebagai bahan bakar semangat. Dan kapan aksi yang kita lakukan menjadi gambaran bagaimana hidup akan berjalan.

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.

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.

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.
