Dream More While You Are Awake

Dream more while you are awake.
And I don’t mean that in the sense of day-dreaming :)
Dream and believe in what you dream of.
This Short Film is incredibly powerful and intelligent.
The Kiwi had a dream, and even though it was a dream that appeared impossible, he found away around the obvious obstacles and challenges that lay ahead of him.
He just took the road less travelled.
If you want to walk on water you have to get out of the boat…he got out of the boat! 

Through hard work and steadfast faith in what we want…we can have.
Some things are worth the time and effort, others are not, so choose wisely.

I can do all things through Christ, who strengthens me.
Philippians 4:13

_Hearts beating_

In the begining,
Something strange in me
Something come up and grow up
Come up and grow up by itself
Seems someone examines me
Testing me, force me to act something
Imagine, if you pass a place that full of tigers,
What would you do?
Surely.. hearts beating
Beating so fast…
Hopefully you need something or someone to be there
Am i right?

In the end..
i don’t know when
but we was starting
Starting the challenges, find lot of bad situations, kind of waves
And kind of examinations in life.

Then…
Give up or stand up will be the answers
We choose.. and we decide pass trough we called ‘faith’.
Ups and down are normal and will be always in life
Little by little…
The beating of this heart slowly will understand
Soon after it seems like teaching ourself to believe in Him.
i see heart beats with God.

....No Title.....

How long have i been trying,

to have this distance to bear

How often have i been dying,

not to touch your hair

And everytime you're feeling down

i want to show how much i care

instead i nail myself to the ground

and do nothing but stare

and everytime i have to speak

i have to choose my words so hard

for i know the thing you seek

is not here in my heart

...

dear dearest, i'm sorry

i'm in the middle of nowhere

if i can measure probability

i'll know my place and stay there

if we know who we are

we'll know what we can have

but i can't yet go that far

for i don't even know myself

God's Shadow

Religion is like a shadow to the world.
It follows us wherever we go and just will not go away.
Sometimes it takes the lead, sometimes it follows behind.
Other times it just walks by your side.
Its shape may be large or small, depending on where you are in life.
You can compare God to the sun if you like, but one thing is for sure,
you can't hide from the effects of God.
Embrace him as your own.

True Reflections

When you look at yourself in the mirror, what do you see??
When you look deep into your own eyes, penetrating to the depths of your soul…what do you feel??

Penetrate deep, and read yourself! Turn your pages slowly, and carefully.
We as human beings need to be…we need to be more truthful with ourselves.
I am writing this for myself, but I want to share this with you because I know that each and every one of you also have your own little secrets.

When you look into that mirror…what do you see?
Do you see a sheep or a shepherd? A truth or a falsity?

Being honest with ourselves is never easy. It’s a handicap that won’t ever go away. The thought of being a lesser person than what we like to believe will hurt us.

Look into your mirror and peel away the lies that distort the real picture.
Look to the depths of your being and tell yourself that you can be all that you want to be.
Your greatest motivator is yourself, and being face to face with yourself is no different to being face to face with another person.
MT said ‘The eyes are like the windows to the soul’, and through your own eyes you can speak with the depths of your soul.
Do you think God blessed us with these eyes in order to see all around us,
yet not ourselves?




Look to the depths of your being and tell yourself that you can be all that you want to be.
Don’t be afraid.

’I can do all things through Christ, who strengthens me’
Philippians 4:13

Light Up

Light a candle tonight.
Let its flame burn high and proud.
Let its light shine bright through the night.
Let yourself be taken away with its peace and calm.
Lay your intentions before it, but most of all, lay yourself before it.
Allow it to rekindle your dwindling flame.
Allow it to free your mind.

Minta Tolong

Berbagi dari sebuah program tv, tepatnya acara “Minta Tolong” di chanel RCTI sore ini. Beberapa dari teman-teman mungkin sudah tahu dengan acara ini. Setiap kali ada waktu, aku sempatkan untuk bisa nonton. Seperti biasa, seseorang yang sudah ditentukan oleh pihak RCTI untuk berperan sebagai seseorang yang sangat butuh pertolongan.

Sore ini dengan pengaturan kerjasama sedemikian dari pihak RCTI dengan seorang perepmpuan setengah baya yang cacat kakinya, sehingga ia harus menggunakan sepasang tongkat untuk mampu berjalan. Bagian tugasnya adalah menemukan seseorang yang mau “menolong” dengan ikhlas, menolong dengan sepenuh hati dan spontan memang punya keinginan menolong. Misi kecil ini pun ia mulai dengan beberapa buah koran di tangannya yang hendak ia tukarkan dengan sebuah selimut untuk anaknya dirumah. Dengan bermodalkan koran-koran itu ia memberanikan dan optimis, nanti akan ada seseorang yang menolongnya. Ia bertanya kesana kemari, basa basi kesana kemari, dan meminta tolong kepada beberapa orang yang sudah banyak jumlahnya, tetapi ternyata belum juga ditemukan seseorang yang sungguh-sungguh ingin menolong. Singkat cerita sampailah ibu ini kepada seorang bapak penjual koran, yang juga adalah seorang yang cacat. Obrolan keduanya pun tercipta sebegitu rupa dan mulai ibu ini menyatakan keinginannya untuk sebuah pertolongan dari si bapak. S

eiring waktu, entah mengapa rasa dan keinginan untuk memberi pertolongan pun ada di dalam diri si bapak ini. Rasa mau menolong yang saya yakini datang dari dalam hatinya yang terdalam. Spontan dan alami. Bisa dibilang menolong baginya menjadi porsi penting di dalam hidupnya. Hari itu, ternyata dialah orang terakhir yang mau menolong si ibu ini. Koran-koran itu pun akhirnya ia terima dari ibu itu dan menukarnya dengan sebuah selimut. Pada zaman ini sulit dan langka memang menemukan seseorang yang ikhlas menolong dari hati. Seiring pengalaman saya hidup, entah mengapa yang namanya menolong orang lain menjadi sebuah kelemahan bagi kebanyakan orang. Yang paling menyentuh saya dari program ini, ketika seorang cacat menolong seorang yang keberadaanya sama dengan dirinya yaitu juga cacat. Mungkin banyak kita jumpai di dalam realita, si cacat menolong si cacat, si buta menolong si buta, dll. Tentu tidak kalah juga kita temui si normal menolong si cacat, tapi kok rasanya masih banyak orang normal yang cuek, asyik dengan diri sendiri dan terlalu nyaman atau memang yang namanya menolong menjadi tidak penting dalam hidupnya.

Karena sudah terlalu disibukkan dengan hal lain. Entahlah, ini hanya perasaan-perasaan saya saja. Tapi saya yakin si bapak ini akan menolong siapa pun, bagaimana pun keadaanya jika memang rasa menolong yang spontan dan alami itu sudah melekat dalam dirinya. Dan saya yakin setiap kita juga akan melakukan hal yang sama dengan bapak ini jika memang rasa menolong yang spontan dan alami ini ada di dalam diri kita.

Who Is Your Shadow?

What am I without my shadow?
Would I be half the person I am today?
Would I feel empty, like I’ve lost a part of who I am?
Only my shadow has walked every step of this journey with me.
Only my shadow knows where I’ve been and where I’m going.

Our greatest aspiration in life should be to live more like our very own shadows.
humble, loving, caring, strong, trustworthy, honest,
The ultimate life companion through good and bad, joy and despair, life and death.
Our very own shadow is just the everyday reminder of the person we want to be.
Our better half!

Flying High

You know we’re flying high,
Yes
I got you flying high

It’s now or never,
So fly towards the sky,
higher than life,
because in time we’ll only die!

Hakuna Matata,
It’s a way of life, so lay back, hold tight!
The Lord is my shepherd,
No worries, only sky, Everest high!

Like a rocket, we will rock it,
No past, no future,
Come with me now,
I’ll get you flying high.

It’s now or never.
So fly towards the sky,
higher than life,
because in time we’ll only die.

Fragile (By_Sting)

If blood will flow when flesh and steel are one

Drying in the colour of the evening sun

Tomorrow's rain will wash the stains away

But something in our minds will always stay

Perhaps this final act was meant

To clinch a lifetime's argument

That nothing comes from violence

and nothing ever could

For all those born beneath an angry star

Lest we forget how fragile we are

On and on the rain will fall

Like tears from a star

Like tears from a star

On and on the rain will say

How fragile we are

How fragile we are

On and on the rain will fall

Like tears from a star

Like tears from a star

On and on the rain will say

How fragile we are, How fragile we are

How fragile we are, How fragile we are

Being Sensitive To Care

In difficulties of others, sadness and sorrow, Who really cares? myself? maybe,

what do i care about? I have a treasure, i have much time, i have things to share. In short way i can say i have the opportunity to care but too much theory in me. Too much discourse. Each place in this universe you will meet many people like this.

What i can say, many people really want to do many things for those people who suffer, weak. But it stagnants in their theory. It may also happen in your place, your country, on campus, at school. Those people do not need your theory of things. But they do need care, love and be with them in any situation, be with them as who you are. You have a lot of things that you can be distributed but stopped in your theory. Stopped because a lot of talk about this and that.

Few days ago i met a guy who came to our evacuated place in Warak village. He was coming as a volunteer with his group from his university. He played games, dances and funny things with all children. Just in few minutes he brings a good atmospher for those children. He looks very simple. Sure i see he lives as it is and just share. Not much to say. He did not give a lot of theory and discourse to do something beautiful.

He only gives what he had available to share. He shared which is beautiful in God and make people happy. Yes he was the person who actually cares. In Indonesia, we need more young people like him. Brave, simple and He totally inspired me. Caring does not mean difficult. Does not mean you have to prepare this things and that things. Do it simple and as it is, with what you have and you want to share. Its more than enough.

"Creator God we live in your world, in the midst of your people. Give us the courage to live according to your way. A world in which your reign holds people together in truth, love and sharing what we have as Yours".

Without Him...

What if there really was no God?
What if we were actually alone, here on this planet, lost in the darkness.
What if our destiny and faith belonged entirely to us and was wholly dependent on our actions.

Scary, eh? For some reason I don't think we have the capacity to live this life without God.
I prefer the idea of having a shepherd to help guide me, and to guide us.
Without Him, I'm sure we'd just find ourselves stuck in a thorny bush, unable to free ourselves.
Without Him, I'm sure we'd see darkness at the end of the tunnel, not light.
Without Him, I'm sure we'd see just how much we need Him.

Free Minds

‘Logic will get you from A to B. Imagination will take you everywhere’.
Albert Einstein

It’s clever isn’t it? It kind of makes you stop and think.
What gets in the way of our ambitions and goals is ourselves.
Our own narrow minded thoughts. Our own logic telling us what to do, and generally telling us what society wants us to do.
Society lacks imagination.
That frustrates me.
Society lacks freedom.
That frustrates me.

In many ways I see imagination as a factor of freedom. It’s like a release from the world.
It’s an identity that takes you places that no other can go.
It’s like…hmm….it’s like the world is yours’.
Which it is!

I think Einstein's quote should be the sub-title of this blog. It relates pretty good to the idea of ‘Free Minds’, don’t you think?
