Flood

Hey,

It's been a long time since the last update of my blog. Sorry for the inconvenience.. Jakarta, one of the biggest city in the world that located in Indonesia is having a disaster. Flood come over in there. A lot of people lost their house, car, even family member. It's so sad to see how many people struggle to save their life and asset.

My deepest condolence for all the people who had this experience.

I found something interesting with this disaster, we always need to see the positive side of any kind disaster that we get. I can see a lot of people helping each other whether they know or not. As a human being we are a social creature,we tend to help others in the sad or happy mood. They help without being pay, so sincere, it was a great view and a great feeling.

When is the last time you help someone? without being paid, without getting a compliment, without being told, just your inner side who want to help others?

Set aside your ego, your pride, your hate, your anger to the person who need help. Just help them, no need to make a calculation. Believe me, Law of attraction is in this world. When you help someone then someone will help you when you're in need.

Let's pray to everyone who have a hard day, who being hit by an accident, who being hit by a disaster, who lost their family member, who lost their job, who lost their love one, who in a grieve. Let's pray for them, because someone will pray for you too when you're in need.

Have a Helping Day

Be a Persistent Person

Hey,

I was watching a show about someone who do a lot to achieve his or her dream. There's some people who catch my attention on how they struggle in life. I want to tell you about one person who surpassed his limit to achieve his dream.

The first person is a famous singer from Korea, Park Jin-Young. He has a nickname JYP. He released seven albums, two serial TV, two films, and  got 17 awards, He also a founder of K-Pop record label named JYP Entertainment, one of three biggest record label in South Korea. JYP Entertainment produced some of the famous actor, artist, and group in Korea such as Rain, Wonder Girls, 2 AM, 2 PM, and Miss A.

Do you know that He got rejected from almost all the Korean agency in his young age before he debuted in music industry. One of the biggest record label (SM Entertainment) also reject his application. When his spirit almost gone, he put his last effort in one small agency and he got it. He debuted in the age of 23, it's quite an old age for a debutant in Korean music industry. He tried and tried and tried to get his name in K-Pop industry, never give up is his motto. Now? He become one of the judges in one of the show in Korea that recruit an amateur person to become next Korean Idol. Can you feel the spirit that He had?

Have you ever feel that everything that you do always stuck and don't give any progress to your dream? Believe me sometimes the last try is the door to your dream. Keep fighting, keep persistent, keep the faith, keep your dream. Every effort count, learn from every failure, change it to become a better person, have a Winner attitude. Your life, your dream, your effort, don't hesitate to achieve it. Believe in your self.

See you at the top.

Have a Persistent Day

Doing Better

Hey,

How's life? better? I hope so. Life is a mystery and it kinda fun to solve it. Have you ever think that you doing better and better each day through life? I have.

This is some of my thought that my life is going better everyday.  I hope some of it can motivate you : )

1. You are alive.
2. You are able to see the sunrise and the sunset.
3. You can walk outside and feel the breeze through your hair and the sun’s warmth on your skin.
4. You awoke this morning with a roof over your head.
5. You didn’t go to sleep hungry last night.
6. You often worry about what you’re going to do with your life – your career, your family, the next step, etc. – which means you have ambition, passion, drive, and the freedom to make your own decisions.
7. You are reasonably strong and healthy – if you got sick today, you could recover.
8. You have someone with whom to reminisce about ‘the good old days.’
9. You have access to clean drinking water.
10. You have access to the Internet.
11. You can read.
12. You have hand phone.
13. You have someone to care about.
14. You breath.

The truth is, you’re doing better than a lot of people in this world.  So remember to be grateful for all the things you do have.

True wealth is the ability to fully experience life.
- Henry David Thoreau

Choose the Right Path

Hey,

Many things happen in our life, some bad and some good. How we handle the situation make us grow or shrink. How do you handle a difficult situation?

We usually afraid to choose a different path of our live. Many of my friends who take a financial major in university, choose the financial path in their job and complaining to me that's not their passion. Some of my friend also regretting his job because it's not their passion. But some of my friend take a massive turning  to grab his passion. He was an accountant who worked in a big accounting firm with a nice salary, because he's a genius, he was able to reach a high position in the company. A lot of people saw him as a great person with a nice job and a nice salary, do you know that he was not happy with his life. He made a massive turn.

Now, He's a chef. Can you imagine it? from accountant to chef? But, he's happy with his life. He can move forward to achieve his dream and his passion. Do you have the gut to do that?

Life is like driving a car, the most important thing is your destination. When you don't know where you want to go, then you only driving along to nowhere waiting the gas empty. When you want to enjoy a nice sunset in a beautiful beach in the beach with a glass of refreshing drink, don't go to a mountain. Take a risk to fulfill your dream and passion.

Experience.  Dream.  Risk.  Close your eyes, jump, and enjoy the free fall.  Choose exhilaration over predictability.  Choose growth over comfort.  Choose potential over safety.  Wake up to the magic of life.
Make friends with your intuition.  Trust your gut.  Discover the beauty of uncertainty.  Know yourself fully before you make promises to others.  Make lots of mistakes so that you will know how to discern what you truly need.

Learn when to hold on and when to let go.  Love hard and often and without reservation.  Seek knowledge.  Open yourself to possibility.  Keep your heart honest, your head high, and your spirit free.  Embrace your darkness along with your light.  Be wrong every once in a while, and be okay with it.
Awaken to the brilliance in ordinary moments.  Live the truth no matter what the cost.  Own your reality without apology.  See goodness in the world.  Be Bold.  Be Fierce.  Be grateful.  Be wild, crazy, and gloriously free.

Take Chances. Take lots of them.  Because honestly, no matter where you end up and with whom, it always ends up just the way it should be.  Stop regretting things and start accepting them as the teachers they are.  Your most significant opportunities will be found in times of great difficulty.  Your mistakes make you who you are.  You learn and grow with each choice you make.  Everything is worth it.  Listen to your heart.

I also have some difficulties in choosing the right path, but I am trying to achieve my dream and passion. Let's change together to choose the right path even thought it's so hard to do it. Remember there's no growth in comfort zone and there's no comfort in growth zone.

Holiday? Why not

Hey,

How's life? I hope it's good as always, if not then it's time for you to take a break from the crowd in the city. Trust me it will refresh your soul and make impact to your life.

Last week I had a great week with my little family, we spent our time in Hongkong and Singapore just strolling around seeing many different places. Tired? of course but it's fantastic experience. Me and my wife have a commitment to have a holiday at least once a year either abroad or in domestic place in Indonesia. Why? because we want to spend our money that we collect about a year in an experiencing event. Plus we can have a refreshing moment in life. We can recharged our soul, love life, family time, quality time, plus holiday is food for my soul, eye, heart, and brain.

You also need a refreshing moment in life, don't over work your life, always work work work, spend you time in a stressful daily moment. Try to take a break, spend some time with your love one, your family, your friends, anyone as long you feel happy with it. In my case, I prefer to take a holiday.

What about the money? Some people feel so bad if they spend a lot of money to go to holiday, hey what's the point of busting your ass everyday to get money?  TO MAKE A HAPPIER LIFE in you. You can find more money again tomorrow, but enjoy your life today.

Experience is important, you live only once in this beautiful world so enjoy it to the fullest.

Have a Great Day

Share it

Hey,

How's your day? I pray for your success, healthy, and wealthy life..

A couple of days ago, I had a great conversation with my wife, we talked about the future of our life. We shared a lot of things about career, business, family, and vision. Suddenly I realized that it's been a long time since we had such conversation like this. Now, I know what my wife really want in our life, about the future, our kid, our business, our career, many things that I missed.

The next day I declared to my self that I want to make a change in my life to make my wife and my family happy or even happier. I changed my vision, my point of view, and my action. Time is the right thing that I need now, but in the end it will gain the benefit for my family.

Have you ever share your vision, point of view, problem, and your dream to someone that you love or trust?

We as a human being is destined to life as a team, group, not as an individual in everywhere we live. In office, we need someone to make our job easier, in the family we need someone to run the house, in business we need someone to become a partner, in school we need someone to teach us, in community we need someone to accept us. Human being was created to make a conversation. That's the point to become a human.

Never hold your anger, sadness, problem, dream, happiness, and vision to someone you love. Tell them everything that you feel. If you hold it, it like a time bomb, once you fed up with it then BOOM explode, believe me the outcome always a mess.

So, why don't you try to share your feeling with someone else, ask for their advice, opinion, ask about their point of view about the future, make a healthy conversation, a conversation that will build you and them together. You can share to your wife, husband, best friend, son, daughter, co-worker, someone that you trust. Try it and you will feel the change that you need to make you become bigger, stronger, and happier.

Soup for Soul

Hey,

How's your day? I hope it's great and fabulous. I lost a project this week, kinda sad but it's okay. I learn many things from this. I just let it out and start to do a new project. Remember you are not a loser if you lost, you are a loser if you stop trying.

Many things happen in our life, some good and memorable, some bad and still memorable hehehe. Sometimes we have a great deal of time to forget the bad one. It's a normal thing, our brain is a great piece of thing that control our body and mind. So it's okay to have some bad memories, we can use it to remind us not to do the same mistake again.

If you experienced some bad thing in work, life, or in your career, it's okay. Growth requires pain. – Be patient and tough, someday this pain will be useful to you.  Those with the strength to succeed in the long run are the ones who lay a firm foundation of growth with the bricks that life has thrown at them.  So don’t be afraid to fall apart for a little while.  Because when it happens, the situation will open an opportunity for you to grow and rebuild yourself into the brilliant person you are capable of being.

You will learn as long as you live. – There is no stage of life that does not contain new lessons.  As long as you live there will be something more to learn.  And as long as you follow your heart and never stop learning, you’ll turn not older, but newer every day. Why? because There is a positive lesson in every life experience. – Don’t forget to acknowledge the lesson, especially when things don’t go your way.  If you make a mistake that sets you back a little, or a business deal or a relationship doesn’t work, it only means a new opportunity is out there waiting.  And the lesson you just learned is the first step towards it.

Letting go is part of moving on to something better. – You will not get what you truly deserve if you’re too attached to the things you’re supposed to let go of.  Sometimes you love, and you struggle, and you learn, and you move on.  And that’s okay.  You must be willing to let go of the life you planned for so you can enjoy the life that is waiting for you.

You need to dig deeper into your strength, I always say improve your strength not your weakness, because you can find someone to cover your weakness while you become expert in your strength. Only you know what you’re capable of. – Unless someone can look into the core of your heart, and see the degree of your passion, or look into the depths of your soul and see the extent of your will, then they have no business telling you what you can or cannot achieve.  Because while they may know the odds, they do not know YOU, and what you’re capable of. That's something only you know.

Live happily, love endlessly. Why? Your love creates your happiness. – The happiness you feel is in direct proportion to the love you give.  When you love, you subconsciously strive to become better than you are.  When you strive to become better than you are, everything around you becomes better too.  During your youth, love will be your teacher; in your middle age, love will be your foundation; and in your old age, love will be your fondest memories and your greatest delight

Choose your peer, surround your self with positive people. Negativity poisons the soul. – Don’t let needless drama and negativity stop you from being the best you can be.  Avoid the drama, and focus on what truly matters.  Life is insanely short and your time is precious, so don’t waste your time on trivial matters.  Let go of the things that are weighing you down.  As you uncluttered your life, you will slowly free yourself to answer the callings of your inner spirit.

Your choices design your life. – You have a choice each and every single day.  Choose to appreciate what you have.  Choose to make time for yourself.  Choose to do something that makes you smile.  Choose to be excited.  Choose to laugh at your own silliness.  Choose to spend time with positive people.  Choose to be persistent with your goals.  Choose to try again and again.  Within your choices lie all the tools and resources you need to design the life of your dreams, it’s just a matter of choosing wisely.

And always remember that This moment is a gift. – The truth is, your whole life has been leading up to this moment.  Think about that for a second.  Every single thing you’ve gone through in life, every high, every low, and everything in between, has led you to this moment right now.  This moment is priceless, and it’s the only moment guaranteed to you.  This moment is your ‘life.’  Don’t miss it..

Have a Great Day
